Could any plant adapt itself more effectively to the rock garden?

O NE lias but to look at the above attractive illustration to see that this 
hardy Candytuft is most happily adapted to the rock-garden. It is 
equally effective in the hardy border. 
The plant forms spreading clumps of beautiful evergreen foliage 
not unlike the hardy Daphne. This foliage effect is interesting the entire 
year. Its season of bloom is in April and May, being among our very early 
flowers, and is of the purest white imaginable, remaining for weeks.

Lily of the Valley - - iinim 
I T may seem strange for us to call special attention to such a well-known, 
plant, but we feel -warranted in doing so, for the reason that we are 
certain that its freer use should be encouraged. One is not satisfied with 
a few flowers of this fragrant old favorite, but wants to be able to pick great 
bunches of them. It is equally true that as a garden plant, its most effec¬ 
tive use is in great masses so as to get a liberal effect of the spikes of flowers 
among the young pale green leaves. As it thrives under almost all garden 
conditions, even under the shade of trees, no garden is really complete 
without at least one good large patch of it. Good clumps planted about 
a foot apart will eventually grow quite together. Another way to form 
abed is to plant the single eye pips 2 to 3 inches apart.over the area de- 
sued for the planting and within a season a fine bed can be established.
