The fluffy heads of basket 
grass are held high on tall, 
thin stems. They grow in 
great drifts in these moun¬ 
tain-top meadows, crop¬ 
ping up wherever the soil 
is kindly. The snow-clad 
peaks of the Tatoosh 
Range form the wall for 
this great natural garden 
Reaching far up the ridges 
of the mountains, braving 
the snows, are out-crop¬ 
pings of pink and white 
heather. They seem to 
thrive on a handful of soil 
in pockets of the rocks, 
that shelter them from the 
wind. Who would not 
have such heather in her 
rock gar denl
