We list below quite an extensive collection of dwarf evergreens 
and low spreading perennials ideally suited for the rock-garden. For the 
more difficult true alpine flowers we recommend that you go to a specialist 
in this type of plant. 
TRAILING EVERGREENS AND SHRUBS 
COTOTn^EASTER, CREEPITsfG—A most valuable trailing shrub with dainty pink 
and white flowers followed by red berries. It will tumble over the rocks. 
COTOTSfEASTER, ROCK —Quite similar to the above but a bit less trailing. Fine 
for a more extensive garden. 
C0T07s(EASTER, TRAILIT^G —The most prostrate growing of the Cotoneasters. 
Has evergreen foliage and red berries. Will make your friends ask questions. 
DAPHT^E, ROSE—A choice bit for the rock garden. Neat foliage and exquisitely 
fragrant rose-pink flowers. Blooms in May and again late in the summer. 
FERTn^S, EVERGREETs^—W e list these dainty woodland plants as being of special 
value for the woodsy rock garden. 
HEATH HEATHER—The different varieties of Heaths and Heathers are fine 
for rock gardens when there is plenty of sun and a peaty, sandy soil can be 
given them. 
JTJT^IPER, SA.RGET^T —A very low trailing evergreen with light blue-green foliage. 
Makes a splendid contrast for the flowering plants. 
JUTs^IPER, SPREADITV^G (Oepressa Plumosa) —Another very low Juniper with 
plume like foliage which turns bronze and purple in the winter. The Junipers 
need plenty of sun. 
PACHISTIMA, CATs^BY—A charming little evergreen shrub for the rock garden. 
Foliage turns purple in winter. 
SPRUCE, DWARF—We have a number of varieties of these dwarf evergreens which 
are well suited for larger rock gardens.

may be used in large rock gardens. This one does best in slightly shaded locations.
