These plants are specially selected to produce an attractive display in the rock garden from early spring and throughout the summer to fall. 



The construction of a rock garden is very simple. It should be located preferably where there is already a natural outcropping of rock. How- 

 ever, if such a site is not available, an attractive garden may be built anywhere by following the instructions given in our pamphlet — sent free on 

 application — entitled "The Rock Garden."
