Special SANTA MARIA INN Flower Seed Collection 
No one can fail to admire the charm and beauty of the flower displays at Santa Maria Inn. Not only in the gardens where 
they are always present in quantities, but also everywhere through the buildings, the flower arrangements are exquisite. 
Deftness in blending colors is an art which everyone with a love for flowers should strive to master. The lighter tints har¬ 
monize quite readily, the stronger tones are harder to handle. With these it is safest to use white or a direct contrast. As 
for instance, deep purple and gold, blue and yellow, etc. 
To secure the proper varieties is, of course, the first step to success. This collection offers a selection of the choicest flowers 
used with such telling effect at the Inn and will bring to your garden a share of the exquisite beauty by which all its visitors 
are so vividly impressed.

T T WAS considered that rock gardening 
~ could be practiced only on large grounds; 
in later days, however, the small rock gar¬ 
den has become increasingly popular both 
in England and America. One reason for 
this popularity is the opportunity it affords 
to grow a great variety of plants—peren- 
nialft, bulbs, annuals and even small shrubs— 
in a small space and, with a few of each, 
to create a beautiful picture. 
For the small rock garden, either the rocky 
slope coming down in broken terraces to a 
bordering path, or the ravine are recom¬ 
mended. In the latter, the path runs through 
the garden, both sides sloping irregularly up¬ 
ward. These rising sides being further em¬ 
phasized by a background planting of tall 
perennials and shrubs. Where uneven or 
sloping ground exists, this should be chosen. 
If the garden is level, excavation may be 
made for a roughly outlined pool and the 
soil used to build up a few gentle slopes. 
Or the pool may be dispensed with and a 
sunken path take its place, as above stated. 
Rock plants in general and particularly al- 
pines, like porous gritty soil and a cool root 
run. On level ground especially, it is neces¬ 
sary to place drainage beneath the garden 
soil and in heavy soils a layer 18 inches 
thick is not too much. Old bricks, mortar, 
gravel or rock, use whatever is at hand. 
Above this place a foot of sandy loam with 
some stone chips or gravel mixed in. 
In placing the rocks, try to simulate a nat¬ 
ural out-cropping. Place them on their 
broadest side and sink them well into the 
ground. 
Most important in placing the stones is to 
make them slope inward so that falling 
water will be carried down to the roots of 
the plants. Arrange little bays and promon¬ 
tories and sweeping curves rather than 
straight lines. 
Exposure is not very important as success 
may be gained facing in any direction pro¬ 
viding the proper subjects are used. Facing 
west or south use more sun loving plants, 
facing east or north, rather the real alpines.
