THE FASCINATION OF ROCK GARDENING 
Your garden may be charming and beautiful from the time 
the first flowers of spring appear until the frosts of autumn. It 
may consist of a few square feet and represent only a few dol¬ 
lars and a little work. Or it may be large and give you an op¬ 
portunity to exercise all your skill in design and indulge your 
fancy for variety, color and form. Size is of importance only 
as it affects the treatment, the kind and number of plants that 
may be used. It is surprising how charming a picture may be 
produced the first season. Rock gardening is not as complicated 
as it sounds. 
We have issued a little booklet of instructions entitled "The 
Fascination of Rock Gardening." If you haven’t a copy write 
for it.
