Perennial Seeds for Rock Gardens 
A FASCINATING, distinct and interesting type of garden that can be made on a com' 
paratively small piece of ground, making a display far greater in effect than any other 
kind of gardening. When building a rock garden, select a partially shaded location where 
the ground has ordinary moisture and is well drained. Do not build too near large trees. 
Begin by placing a stone in position, work the soil well around it to prevent air spaces 
and so that the moisture will work into the soil crevices rather than drain away from 
them. It will help the amateur considerably to study some natural formations of rocks. If an 
existing bank or terrace is used, loosen well and add some good soil. When the rockery is 
built, allow it to settle before planting. It is advisable to plant some of the spaces with dwarf 
annuals. They will bloom from July until frost and keep the rockery bright until the hardy 
rock plants establish themselves. 
We offer below a special list of seeds that will thrive between crevices of stones. You 
will enjoy your rock garden all the more if you raise your own plants from seed.
