Informality and intimacy should characterize a walk such as 
this. How much the floivers between the stones contribute to 
this desired result is suggested by a comyarison toith the photo¬

shadows, no changing lights to break 
tlie monotony. Such a walk is pic¬ 
tured at the beginning of this article. 
Visualize it shorn of its crevice 
planting—you see what the result 
would be, don’t you? 
But enough of generalizing. What 
matters most is just what to plant 
and how to plant it. 
In almost every walk of flag or 
flattened fieldstone are interstices 
where rock plants may be sown. 
More satisfactory, perhaps, because 
special provision for certain effects 
can be made, is the walk which is 
laid with a definite thought for future 
planting. Here spaces of 1" to 8" 
or 10" can be left, especially at the 
sides, which will subsequently be 
filled with plants. In the case of the 
flowers here listed, no par¬ 
ticular type of soil is 
needed if it is well drained 
and reasonably fertile. 
For reasons too obvi¬ 
ous to need mention here, 
the best plants are drawn 
from that large list which 
considerations of taste 
and adaptability have des¬ 
ignated as suitable for 
the regular rock garden. 
The charmingly fragrant 
white rock cress (Arabis 
albida) is a good sort for 
the edges, as are also 
rock madwort (Alyssum 
saxatile compactum) with 
its mass of little yellow 
blossoms in April and 
May, and saxifrage pink 
{Tunica saxifraga), pink- 
i s h blossomed through 
the summer months. 
These three, with Baby’s 
Breath {Gypsopliila re¬ 
pens) and rose moss 
{Porfnlaca g r a n d i - 
flora) will give enough 
variety to the dense mass 
effects. For contrast with 
them, I know of nothing 
more charming than our 
own ethereally dainty wild

Canadensis), rising here 
and there in clusters of
