ROCKERIES AND ROCK GARDENS

A Rock and Bog Garden 
A charming example of rock and 
bog garden combined is shown below. 
The possibilities of the location, al- 
though flat, have been made the most 
of. The rich green of the surrounding 
trees forms a setting for the flower- 
gemmed rocks and the water -mirrored 
plants and ferns that is picturesquely 
natural and satisfying to the eye, there 
being no apparent relationship between 
this restful little wild garden and the 
formal garden just beyond. 
A Saxifrage Rockery 
An attractive rockery planted exclusively with 
varieties of Saxifrage is shown above. This family 
contains many ornamental hardy sorts peculiarly 
adapted for rockeries. Some sections form moss- or 
cushion-like plants, others are creeping; some form 
rosettes of silvery foliage, others have large, fleshy 
leaves, etc. All produce flowers, — some on spikes, 
others in dense clusters; and, as they bloom at dif- 
ferent seasons, a proper selection of varieties will fur- 
nish a continuous display during spring and summer.
