The Rock Garden 



W 



HERE it is damp, shady, and barren, there you should plant your rock 

 garden. An ugly corner may be completely transformed if you are not contented 

 with your present planting. It is no longer necessary to have one sorrowful, 

 bedraggled-looking spot mar the appearance of your entire landscape. A change 

 of topography, a steep, hard-to-manage slope — there again is your cue to plant 

 a rock garden. The atmosphere of a rock garden is essentially natural. In it, 

 artifice 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. 



No form of gardening can give more variety, more surprises, more satisfac- 

 tion, than the great number of flowers which can be grown in a rock garden. 

 You will be delighted with masses of creeping plants that will settle comfort- 

 ably in the crevices and clothe the adjacent rocks with colorful bloom. 



Rock gardens should not be thought of as only being attractive in the summer. 

 There are many dwarf evergreens and evergreen vines that may be used to 

 advantage. Their various contrasting colors will present a pleasing winter effect. 



If you would like to change an unsightly spot into a thing of beauty — call 

 Tuxedo 1751, and a thoroughly experienced person will gladly call and advise you.
