ROCK GARDENS ARE IMMENSELY 
POPULAR AND EASY TO BUILD 
It is indeed amazing to see how rapidly this 
intense interest in rock gardens has spread from 
coast to coast! Yet it is not strange when we 
stop to think how ideal they are for either large 
or small plots. A delightful rock garden can 
often be built in a spot inconvenient for mowing 
lawn, or where ordinary garden arrangement 
is awkward or impracticable. Even narrow 
spaces next to driveways or walks can be made 
mighty attractive. 
How interesting it is, first to collect the rocks 
and arrange them simply in a realistic, natural 
appearance, then to watch the development of 
the many rare and charming little plants that 
nestle in the crevices and alcoves, spreading 
out to cover the ground, creeping here and 
there, others climbing up over to partly hide 
the rocks. Then the dainty, delightfully unique 
and sweetly fragrant little blooms. There 
are so many plants with blooming periods at 
various seasons from early Spring to latest 
Fall, that your rock garden may be always 
in bloom. Every rock garden is individual, 
different, reflecting the floral instincts and 
tastes of the garden lover who created it.
