ROCK AND ALPINE PLANTS 
Much has been said and written of the beauties and pleasures of rock gardening, and 
justly so, for the rock garden offers unlimited possibilities and adventure in garden experi¬ 
ence. Many rock plants are deep rooted and it is always best to plant them as the rockery is 
built. In this way space and proper soil can be provided for plants that require special 
treatment. Good drainage, a little sand and loam, mixed with good garden soil, is sufficient 
to insure success. Fertilizers, if any, must be carefully and sparingly applied. 
We list here but a few gems from our several hundred Alpine and Succulent Plants. 
For many years we have carefully studied those plants adaptable to California Conditions. 
Pay us a visit as we have many plants you have been searching for.
