HOW TO BUIDD A BOCK GARDEN 
Select a gentle slope. Use the largest 
boulders possible, placing the bigger stones 
at the base, the strata all running the 
same. They should appear naturally 
placed. A few large rocks rather than 
many small ones are preferable. 
In the pockets between boulders there 
should be a rich, porous, moisture-holding 
soil at least two feet deep. Provide mois¬ 
ture in abundance. 
Most entrancing groups of plants for 
Rock Gardens are low growing, brilliantly 
flowering, rather heavily foliaged Per¬ 
ennials. For interesting results the year 
round, include some dwarf Evergreens like 
Abelias, Azaleas, Daphne, Junipers, Retin- 
osporas, Yucca, Yews, Paehysandra. Cot- 
oneasters, for their touch of evergreen 
foliage, stability and the floral beauty of 
the blooming kind. 
Low Annuals should always be added 
for continuous bloom through the Summer.
