Rock Garden Plants 



The construction of a Rock Garden is very simple, especially when 

 stones are plentiful. 



Often, after clearing up new grounds, masses of stones will be present 

 which would be difficult to dispose of. and these cati be used to good 

 advantage. 



Select a partially shaded location where the ground has ordinarv 

 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, cut are usually not 

 more than 10 to 15 inches above the surrounding ground. When building 

 the upper course, be sure that planting spaces 8 to 10 inches in diameter 

 are left so that a number of plants can he planted on the top 



We can supply suitable plants for rock gardens, our selection of 

 varieties, at S3. SO per dozen or $25.00 per hundred. For a garden 6x6 

 feet, 50 plants would be required.
