ROCK GARDEN PLANTS 
Among the most interesting and fascinating lines of gardening to which the public seem to be 
devoting more than usual attention are the Rock and Alpine Gardens. These are comparatively 
easily built and maintained and can be developed to a wonderful state of perfection within a small 
space, in fact fine Rockeries can be made in the smallest of gardens, as we might say using odd 
corners really useful for nothing else. However,extensive Rock Gardens are wonderful and de¬ 
sirable when space permits.

While the above list is entirely made up of Hardy Plants, we suggest leaving some space in 
the Rock Garden for midsummer-flowering Annuals so that you may have plenty of color during 
July and August which is a period when flowering Perennials are rather scarce. After the An¬ 
nuals are through flowering this same space may be planted to early spring flowering bulbs, which 
will be offered in our Fall catalog.

Achillea Ptarmica Boule de Neige. An improve¬ 
ment over The Pearl, having flowers of more 
perfect form, with perfect centers, which make 
it appear purer in color. Fine for cutting. 
\y 2 ft. June to Sept. 
Achillea Tomentosa. (Wooly Yarrow). Flat 
heads of bright yellow flowers in profusion 
during June; beautiful cut foliage; height 
about 12 in.

green foliage with compact spike of large 
dark blue flowers. Late summer. 154 to 2 ft. 
Napellus. A rather tall variety with beautiful 
glossy dark green foliage with loose but 
attractively formed panicles of dark blue 
flowers. Late July and Aug. 4 to 6 ft. 
Anchusa Myosotidiflora. Dwarf variety, grow¬ 
ing 1 ft. tall, effective for Rock Gardens and 
shady places. Clusters of pretty blue flowers, 
in May, resembling forget-me-nots. 
ANEMONE (Windflower) 
Hupehensis. (Chinese Anemone). A sturdy, 
dwarf plant closely resembling the Japanese 
Anemone but not as tall and blooms earlier.

Lady Ardilaun. Pure white, single flowers.

The Columbines are among the best known 
and best liked plants, producing their gracefully 
spurred flowers on stems 2 ft. or more above the 
beautifully divided foliage which is ornamental 
after the flowering season is past. They are not 
at all particular as to soil or location, but prefer 
a sandy loam and a moist but well drained 
sunny position, and usually thrive in any hardy 
garden or border. They flower through the 
late spring and early summer months. 
Chrysantha. Golden yellow, fragrant, long 
spurred flowers. 
Long Spurred Pink and Rose Shades. 
Mrs. Scott Elliott’s Hybrids. These Hybrids 
comprise many new and beautiful combina¬
