NOTE. These three specialties have been secured at considerable expense. The seeds are small and 
the packets will not be large, but there will be enough for any Alpine garden needs. 
CHORIZANTHE Palmeri (Turkish Rugging). 
This easily grown annual forms a dense mat of del¬ 
icate pink Statice-like flowers which blends beau¬ 
tifully with the dull green foliage. It has a spread 
of 10 to 12 inches. Desirable. 5 cts. 
LEWISIA Redeviva (Bitter root) is a rock gar¬ 
den plant of outstanding merit. It is easy to handle, 
appearance and interesting in history 
and habit of growth. It seems immune to drouth 
or root exposure, but will not thrive in a wet, soggy 
situation. The seed are fine and reguire care in 
72 
starting, but will well repay for the effort expend¬ 
ed. The flowers are large and cacti-like usually 
pink, but varying from white to red. A very 
choice novelty. 5 cts. 
SEDUM Spurium Coccineum (Bronze Carpet). 
The reddish leaves and stems added to the rose 
blooms of this Sedum provide the Alpine gardner 
with a plant that gives a delightful effect. The fine 
seeds should be planted in pots or boxes of sandy 
soil, set in a shady spot and watered carefully. 
Later the seedlings may be set where desired. 5 cts. 
Water Garden and Rock Garden Notes 
The combination of a pool and rock garden is a delight in contemplation and a joy complete in reality. 
Either or both lend themselves to much variety in plan and choice of plants and, therefore, encourage in¬ 
genuity and originality in the gardner. These gardens need not be expensive. Those living in the country 
have the advantage, often, of a stream that may be utilized by backing up the water into a quiet nook and 
there making a beauty spot. A little labor in preparation of pool or rock garden or both, and a choice of 
seeds, which may be secured for 5 cents per packet, together with love, time and patience, and one soon 
has a spot of loveliness, the attraction for both the family and friends. 
V/e list a fine assortment of aquatics upon page 73. Upon this same page also is a splendid collection 
of Ornamental Grasses, a number of which will lend background and add beauty to this type of garden. 
One portion of your Rock Garden may be set aside for many of the culinary and medicinal garden herbs 
as listed upon page 71. These will not only add to the attractive appearance of your garden, but will be 
of practical value.
