THE BOOK 
Each magnificent color photograph is 
accompanied by a brief description 
with condensed, practical directions. 
Here is a sample description from the book: 
ARABIS 
One of the prettiest spring-blooming flowers for 
low borders, rock-gardens, and walls is Arabis alpina. 
It makes a mat of gray, velvety foliage which clings 
closely to the ground, and at the first break of spring 
throws up stems six to eight inches high, bearing clus¬ 
ters of deliciously fragrant white flowers which continue 
in bloom for several weeks. The foliage remains in good 
condition throughout the rest of the summer, so that 
the place where the Arabis grows is never ugly or bare. 
It looks best when planted in a crevice of a stone wall 
and allowed to droop in big matted festoons, and should 
always be given a rather dry location. 
There are several varieties of Arabis, but the best 
is the double-flowering, or A. alpina flore-pleno. the in¬ 
dividual flowers of which look like tiny white Roses. 
The double Arabis does not produce seed, so that it has 
to he increased by cuttings, and consequently is a 
scarcer plant than the common single form.
