Perennial Plants for a Rock Garden 



The construction of a Rock Garden is very simple, especially where stones are plentiful. 

 Often, after clearing up new grounds, masses of stones will be present which would be dif- 

 ficult to dispose of, and these can be used to good advantage. 



Select a partially shaded location where the groand has ordinary moisture and is well- 

 drained. Begin by placing the stones so as to allow the moisture from rains to run into 

 the garden and not away from it. After placing a stone in position, work the soil in well 

 around it in order to allow the moisture to work up among the stones and give the proper 

 conditions for growing rock plants. Any air spaces that are left between the stones will 

 prevent an even degree of moisture in the garden. 



Rock gardens can be made any height desired, but are usually not more than 10 to 15 

 inches above the surrounding ground. When building the upper course, be sure that plant- 

 ing spaces 8 to 10 inches in diameter are left so that a number of plants can be planted on 

 the top. 



We can supply suitable plants for rock gardens; our selection of varieties at $3.50 per 

 dozen or $25.00 per hundred. For a garden 6x6 feet, 50 plants would be required.
