Rock Garden Seeds 
Roek gardens are yearly Increasing In popularity. One of the most Interesting points of 
the rockery or rock garden Is that each of us may build It according to our own Ideas, pro¬ 
viding it is correctly built as to drainage and the proper placing of the rocks In order to keep 
the soil in place. 
Before building the rock garden, the location should be selected in an open sunny place 
or one In partial shade, according to the variety of plants desired. In either location the 
ground must be well drained. 
The next step is to plan the rockery as to size and shape. Do not use too much stone, 
and use stones of a good size. Place the stones so that they will keep the soil from washing 
when watering or during heavy rains. 
Place the plants in the pockets of soil or in the open spaces between the rocks. Be 
sure, however, that the soil is firm around the roots of the plants. 
Below will be found a list of plants we offer suitable for rock garden planting.

VARIETIES OF PARTICULAR MERIT 
Since Kendall & Whitney established a seed 
store in Portland seventy-six years ago, this 
large and widely-known firm has put forth its 
best efforts to provide for its many customers 
the high-quality seeds and fertilizers and the 
excellent tools best suited to the needs of all 
who seek satisfactory results. And the many 
years of this firm’s business activity bears out 
the fact that it has been successful in serving its 
customers satisfactorily. 
Continuing in this manner, it is the aim and 
desire of Kendall & Whitney to make it still 
easier this year for all to have a successful 
garden. This firm each season has listed in its 
catalog, with brief descriptions, many kinds of 
vegetable and flower seeds, all being of an ex¬ 
cellent variety and creating a demand. 
But, with so many kinds from which to make 
a selection, it often is difficult for a customer, 
especially one who never has seen the actual 
vegetable or flower which a particular variety of 
seed will produce, to decide which is desired for 
a particular purpose. So, to aid customers in 
making a selection which will prove satisfactory, 
this firm, in its 1934 catalog, is mentioning one 
or two varieties of each kind of vegetable in 
common use and which, in the concern’s belief, 
are the most desirable. 
Beans — Bush Beans. Low’s Champion, a 
green pod bean, fine as a snap bean, shell or 
baking bean. Burpee's Stringless Green Pod, 
early, stringless, and of excellent quality. 
Keeney’s Rustless Golden Wax, a yellow podded 
or butter bean of superior quality. 
Pole Beans. Ideal Market, the earliest sort, 
•green, stringless, fine quality. Kentucky Wonder, 
very long round green pods, exceedingly popular. 
Golden Cluster Wax, a yellow podded bean of 
excellent quality, good also as a shell bean. 
Beets. For an early beet, Crosby Egyptian, 
a small round beet, sweet and tender; or for a 
beet for general crop the Detroit Dark Red, 
round, dark red, small top, and of the finest 
quality. 
Broccoli. The Italian Broccoli, which has 
come into favor rapidly in the last two or three 
years. 
Cabbage. For an early cabbage, the Golden 
Acre, an extra early round head variety of me¬ 
dium size; the Copenhagen Market, for Fall and 
first of the Winter, a round solid head, some¬ 
what larger; and for a Winter cabbage which 
will keep through the Winter, the Cape Grown 
Danish Ball Head, a strain of this popular 
variety grown especially for us. 
Carrot. For a market carrot, the Bagley 
strain of the Danvers Carrot which is more 
attractive than the regular Danvers; and for the 
home garden the Nantes, of fine color, nearly 
cylindrical, and almost without core; or the 
Chantenay. 
Celery. Golden Plume, or Wonderful, of fine 
appearance, a good keeper and easy to blanch. 
Swiss Chard. The Lucullus. Here is some¬ 
thing which you should certainly grow, as it is 
one of the best of greens and may be cut re¬ 
peatedly.
