BUILD A BEAUTIFUL ROCK GARDEN 
The Most Important Feature of a Flower Garden 
MGHT YflVO N G 
These cross-section views show 
the right and wrong way to lay up 
rocks. 
Everyone is talking Rock Garden these 
days—lots of my friends and customers 
are building them. Even on the small 
lot there is some place where a tiny rock 
garden may be tucked away; the com¬ 
pactness of a rock garden is one of its 
charms. There is no end to the interest¬ 
ing combinations of rocks and plants 
Pygmy mountains, Lilliputian valleys, 
can be built of rugged rocks; a trickle 
of water pretend a mountain torrent, los¬ 
ing itself in a mirror pool. 
A spot in full light and air, away from 
shade trees, is best. Any slope, too, 
can be used. Transforming into a rock 
garden is often the happiest treatment 
for a slope. Take advantage of any out¬ 
crop of natural rock about your grounds. 
An Ideal Rock Garden 
Make your rock garden a reproduction of nature in 
miniature. Strive for natural surroundings for rock- 
loving plants. While there is charm in unusual layouts, 
orderly arrangements of rocks and planting are most 
pleasing. Your rock garden may be just a wall, or large 
enough for ridges, valleys and even bogs. Picture the 
finished form before starting construction. The plan 
may be anything fancy dictates but when possible it 
should have steps and paths about it. Irregular paths 
are most interesting, with walks following the valleys. 
Perennial Plants (grown from seed) are the most 
satisfactory as they last forever, while a few annuals 
for quick show are often desirable. 
The following is Mrs. Haines suggestions of Pretty 
and Desirable Perennial a-nd Annual Flower Seeds, also 
Hardy Perennial Plants, that will make a Beautiful Rock 
Garden at a very moderate cost.
