THE WATER GARDEN 



A 



LIMPID pool, lilies, the sacred 

 lotus, paint nature's ever-changing 

 masterpiece. The water garden ap- 

 peals to evervone — the smallest pool, 

 a single lily framed in a border of 

 lacv ferns, is a source of unending 

 pleasure. May we help you plan such 

 a garden? 



THE ROCK GARDEN 



w 



HERE it is damp, shady, and 

 barren, there you should plant your 

 rock garden. An uglv corner may be 

 completelv transformed if you are 

 not contented with your present 

 planting. It is no longer necessary to 

 have one sorrowful, bedraggled-look- 

 ing spot mar the appearance of your 

 entire landscape. A change of topo- 

 graphv, a steep, hard- to-manage 

 slope — there again is your cue to plant a rock garden. The atmosphere 

 of a rock garden is essentiallv natural. In it, artirice and subterfuge have 

 no place. Rock gardens need not be elaborate, for their beauty lies in the 

 ability of man to interpret the thoughts of nature . . if it is naturally 

 planted it is naturally correct. 



Here are listed a few of the most satisfactory species for rock garden planting.
