Rock Garden Plants 
This form of a flower garden is increasing in popu¬ 
larity 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 available. A sunny 
situation is best as most rock plants are sun loving.
