NOTE: Dwarf annuals make fine plants to replen¬ 
ish the rockeries by using them in small groups here 
and there to bring color in summer and fall, when 
the regular rockplants are out of bloom. These spaces 
are then replanted in late fall with bulbs for early 
spring. The following are suitable: Lobelias, Portu- 
lacca, Ursinia, Livingstone Daisy, California Moss, 
Thunbergia, Verbenas, Dwarf Marigolds, Dwarf Sal¬ 
via, Dwarf Phlox, Cuphea, Sweet Alyssum, Nemesia, 
etc., etc. 
Plants perferring partial shade are the following: 
Begonias, Heliotrope, Impatiens, Nic-otiana, Salpiglos- 
sis, Larkspur, Ivy, Ivy Geranium, Pansies, Abutilons, 
Cuphea. Note that a certain amount of sunlight is 
essential, for continuous shade is harmful to all except 
ferns. •«■«»
