WATER WORN STONES FOR 
GARDENS 
These stones are a hard bluestone picked from the river bed of the 
Delaware and its tributaries. They are worn smooth by years of water action 
and have one flat surface. 
These stones are ideal for use in garden walks and as a border to natur¬ 
alistic pools. 
Stones averaging: 
12 inches square covering space.$ .16 
18 inches square covering space.35 
(.Larger Sizes Quoted on Request) 
These stones are irregular in shape and therefore cannot be scaled to 
the inch. 
LICHEN AND MOSS COVERED STONES 
The lichen covered stones are from old stone walls and from pasture 
fields. The moss covered stones are usually from brook runs in the deep 
woods. Both the lichen and moss covered stones give the appearance of 
great age to any landscape feature in which they are used.

PLANTING: The following points are important in insuring the best 
possible success with Rhododendron, Kalmia, Azaleas and Hemlock: 
(1) Be sure soil is well drained and sub-soil broken. 
(2) Use leaf-mold or humus in direct contact with the roots. 
(3) Leave a depression instead of a mound around the base of the 
plant to carry surface water directly to the roots. 
(4) Mulch with sawdust—especially in Fall planting. 
(5) Water frequently throughout the first year. 
(6) Rhododendron maximum should never be planted in sunny loca¬ 
tions or where exposed to high winds. 
(7) Never plant in alkaline soil. Be sure the soil has, at least, a 
slight acid reaction.
