Rock Gardens

Add some flowering plants and a bird 
bath. What a transformation! 
A rock garden border — simple bat attractive. 
ROCK GARDENS 
A waterfall — man-made — but quite in 
harmony with a naturalistic 
landscape setting. 
In constructing a rock garden large 
weathered stones of irregular shape should 
be selected and placed to allow a generous 
pocket of good soil for the roots of each 
plant. This soil pocket must have proper 
drainage and contact with the subsoil 
to insure right moisture conditions.

Wherever there is a steep slope or change 
of level in the garden or path, there is an 
opportunity for rock gardening. Likewise 
wherever a rocky ledge crops out on the 
surface, and the surrounding soil is too 
shallow for shrubbery or grass, rock 
work is a natural and happy solution of 
the difficulty. Many an eyesore and 
awkward corner, many an old dump, 
cellar hole or rock pile can thus be trans¬ 
formed into a spot of great beauty. 
The spirit of the rock garden is essen¬ 
tially natural, avoiding any appearance 
of artificiality or formal design. Curving 
beds and paths following the contour 
of the ground or winding around existing 
rocks, trees or shrubbery are most fitting. 
Wherever the ground is cut up by such 
natural features or by awkward slopes 
and changes of level this informal treat¬ 
ment is particularly pleasing. 
There is a wealth of plant material 
suitable for rock gardens which will 
thrive with little attention. The lists 
on this page contain some of the most 
satisfactory varieties. For full description 
and prices, see latter part of this catalogue. 
A gay border planting brings beauty to this bare 
rocky ledge.
