Rock Qarden Plants 
This form of a flower garden is increasing in popularity by 
leaps and bounds. 
It is not necessary to own a large estate to have a rockery or 
rock garden, as they can be built to fit the small home grounds 
as well, proper consideration being given to the location. The 
best site is on sloping ground where there is good drainage but 
with a little care can be built on the level or any place avail¬ 
able. A sunny situation is best as most rock plants are sun 
loving.
