Evergreen Rock and Wall Gardens 
f frills interesting form of garden in its many adaptations 
* can be made a charming feature of nearly every place. 
A sloping bank set with scattered boulders, a dry retain- 
ing wall or an old-fashioned stone fence may serve as the basis 
of a rock garden made gay with bright-flowered Hardy Peren¬ 
nials from early Spring until late Autumn. 
In Winter the Rock Garden will have an individual interest 
if liberal use is made of trailing Junipers and Savins, spreading 
Yews, dwarf Mountain Pines, Adams Needle and other low 
growing Evergreens together with Evergreen Shrubs like the 
Azaleas, Quince Berries, Evonymus and Loniceras, intermingled 
with the gray and brown of rocks. 
A few of the Hardy Perennials whose flowers find an ad¬ 
mirable setting among the Evergreens are Achillea, Ajuga, 
Alyssum, Aquilegia, Arenaria, Armeria, the hardy Asters and 
Chrysanthemums, Cerastium, Ceratostigma, Coreopsis, Dian- 
thus, Gypsophila, Iris species and Fleur-de-Lys, Iberis, Myosotis, 
Pachysandra, Phlox subulata, Primula, Sedum, Saxifraga and 
Vinca. 
The photograph above well illustrates the charming effect 
of a border of large growing Evergreens, small flowering trees 
and shrubs which serve as a background for the Rock Garden and 
extend a welcome to inviting shaded walks beyond.
