Rock-garden 
part of an estate may be made a great attraction, — a delight of green 
and color; for, besides the many vines that have long been in use for 
this purpose, there are several little plants, that are in their most suit- 
able location here, — Lysimachia nummulciria (moneywort), which has 
stems that hang over the wall 10 to 15 inches; Phlox subulata, that sends 
trailing stems down the rocks; S&diim acre, the stonecrop, that quickly 
covers the stone surface; Veronica incana and Cerastium lomcnlosum, which 
make tufts of foliage, covered, the one with blue spikes and the other 
with a mass of white flowers, and ferns, always indispensable to rockwork.
