A COLLECTION OF PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS FOR 



Rockeries and Rock Gardens 



4761 Collection of 15 Kinds— Listed Below, $2.00, Postpaid. 



When laying out a rock garden, it will help to study some natural 

 rock formation. If a bank or terrace already existing is utilized, 

 loosen it up with a pickaxe and add more soil. Place the stones in 

 position, but work the soil well around to prevent air spaces. 



Preparations for a Rock Garden must be made ahead, if Perennials 

 are used, as they do not bloom the first year. Seeds should be 

 planted outdoors on the rock garden in the places they are to grow, 

 early in spring and up to July 15th. We recommend planting Darwin 

 Tulips and other bulbs in Rock Gardens to provide a show in spring,

 large flowers, pure yellow, 9 inches high.
