ROCK-PLANTS 
JOYFUL AND PERMANENT AT NEW LOW PRICES 
The rock-garden offers a delightful medium of expression to the amateur. It kindles the imagination with a flame that enriches our garden 
experiences. So subtle and yet powerful is its influence that once “touched,” we are zealots forever. With Nature showing the finest examples 
of rock-garden design, our problem has been to assemble a distinguished collection of alpine plants, to furnish color over a long period. The 
following pages list plants of proved hardiness. They are rugged, permanent, and picturesque. Given reasonable care and proper soil condi¬ 
tions, they should increase in beauty with each passing year. 
Prices, except where otherwise quoted, SI for 3, $3 per doz. Orders for less than three of one variety cannot be accepted.
