The 
Rockery 
And How to Make It. 
I have just been making a rockery, sc 
1 thought if I passed on my hints to othe; 
readers, they might prove useful-, especi 
ally to those amateurs who, like myself 
have recently removed to other premises 
In this case there is often a lot of ole 
rubbish lying about in the garden —ok 
roots, weeds, Cabbage stumps, ashes 
clinkers, broken bricks, old pans anc 
pails, bad soil, broken drain pipes am 
plant pots, etc., with more or less stone 
of various shapes and sizes. All this 1: 
difficult to dispose of without incurring 
expense, but may be put to good use ii 
forming the foundation of a rocker}-. Ok 
grass sods also may be utilised in thi 
way where, as in my case, it was fount 
necessary to take up a quantity of turf ii 
order to cultivate the ground beneath 
Let the sods lie in the sun, roots up 
ward, for a few days to decay, then chocs- 
any ugly spot or corner in the garden fo 
the rockery, or a bank or dry ditch, o 
where a wall is broken down, any of whicl 
may be converted from an eyesore into . 
spot of beauty. 
Simply throw down into an irregula 
heap all the rubbish you can collect, leav 
mg out the stones, as these will be re 
quired for the surface. Let any old pail 
or pots come near the top also, to forn 
pockets in which to plant. Sods, roots 
weeds, ashes should be at the base, ant 
any broken pipes placed on end am 
•propped firmly. Do not make the hea] 
uniform in appearance, the more irregula 
it is the better. Mix some garden soi 
with decayed manure and shovel this on 
finally adding the stones placed on end 
and some with points upwards. If an 
have a green or mossy side, this shouL 
be exposed to view, as it helps the artisti 
effect; and where possible, place tw 
stones of different shape together to forr 
a crevice. Any old.tree stumps may als 
be stuck in, as they form excellent sup 
port for creeping plants. After all i 
fixed, a little more soil will be foum 
necessary, after which the planting ma 
be done. 
If the spot is overhung by trees, it wil 
make an excellent fernery, with Lilv-oi 
the-Valley, Arabis lucida variegata, Alys 
sum saxatile compactum, bright golden 
Nemophilia, blue; and Tom Thumb Nat 
turtiums, of different colours — flowers tin" 
succeed well in shade. Linaria pallidi 
a pretty trailing pdant with violet bloom 1 
Creeping Jenny and Ground Ivy may b 
planted where desirable. 
On a sunny rockery have Anemone pa 
mata, yellow flowering in June, and / 
vernalis, a charming alpine specie, blu< 
Astragalus monspessulanus is a usefi 
drooping plant, its profuse sprays of sea: 
let flowers hanging over a stone look vet 
effective. Campanula Erinus is anothi 
pretty trailer, with a mass of blue flower 
and C. isophylla alba, so popular fc 
hanging baskets, looks beautiful an; 
where. Dianthus alpinus is the alpir 
pink, very productive, and only thre 
inches high. Myosotis rupicola must n< 
be omitted, having compact tufts tv 
inches high of deep blue flowers. 
Water only when really necessary, an 
then very carefully, so as not to ■wash tl 
soil out of the pockets and crevices.
