'5^- Mfkittg a Rock Garden 



Forget-me-not is one of the finest plants 

 for the banks. Use the perennial kind 

 (Myosotis palustrls semperflorens). 



The bog garden simply reproduces bog 

 conditions. As a rock garden adjunct it 

 may be a small spot with the perpetually 

 moist and moss-covered soil in which the 

 native cypripediums and pitcher plants 

 flourish. Eighteen or twenty inches of 

 suitable soil, a mixture of leaf mold, peat, 

 and loam, in which has been stirred some 

 sand and gravel, must be provided. If 

 an artificial bog, the bottom may be made 

 of cement or puddled clay.
