ROCK GARDEN LORE 
For many years I tried with small success to 
grow wild flowers. Then I learned of the rock 
garden idea. I began at once with an apron full or 
rocks and a bucket of dirt. It was a success and 
a joy from the first. Drainage is one of the most 
essential points. Arrange your rocks to allow drain¬ 
age and to conserve moisture. Always use acid soil 
for wood dwellers and alkaline for desert plants. 
If your soil is heavy or clay, use crushed gravel, 
broken crockery, brick or plenty of sand. Peat 
moss is highly recommended but I have not yet 
tried it. If you collect your own plants carefully 
note whether they grew in sun, shade, wet or 
dry, soil black, leaf mold or sandy and duplicate 
these in its new home in your garden. If you buy 
your plants, read the requirements given in the 
catalog and heed them. It is a great deal more fun 
to succeed than to fail. Wishing you all success I 
am. 
Sincerely and Cordially yours, 
Clarice Nye, Prospect, Oregon.
