Water Garden and Rock Garden Notes 
The combination of a pool and rock garden is a delight in contemplation and a joy complete in 
reality. Either or both lend themselves to much variety in plan and choice of plants and, therefore, 
encourage ingenuity and originality in the gardener. These gardens need not be expensive. Those 
living in the country have the advantage, often, of a stream that may be utilized by backing up the 
■water into a quiet nook and there making a beauty spot. A little labor in preparation of pool or rock 
garden, or both, and a choice of seeds, which may be secured for 5 cents per packet, together with 
love, time and patience, and one soon has a spot of loveliness, the attraction for both the family and 
friends. 
We list a fine assortment of aquatics upon page 73. Upon this same page also is a splendid 
collection of Ornamental Grasses, a number of which will lend background and add beauty to this 
type of garden. One portion of your Rock Garden may be set aside for many of the culinary and 
medicinal garden herbs as listed upon page 71. These will not only add to the attractive appearance 
of your garden, but will be of practical value. 
Below are listed a group of Alpine annuals and perennials which may be found in the body of the

Rockery Specials 
. Palmeri (Turkish Rugging). This easily-grown annual forms a dense mat of delicate 
pink Statice-like flowers which blend beautifully with the dull green foliage. It has a spread of 
10" to 12". Desirable. 5c. 
Redeviva (Bitter Root). It is a rock garden plant of outstanding merit. It is easy to 
handle, curious in appearance and interesting in history and habit of growth. It seems immune to 
drouth or root exposure, but will not thrive in a wet soggy situation. The seed are fine and require 
care in starting, but ■will well repay for the effort expended. The flowers are large and cacti-like 
usually pink, but varying from white to red. A very choice novelty. 5c. 
SEDUM Spurium Coccineum (Bronze Carpet). The reddish leaves and stems added to the rose 
blooms ot this Sedum provide the Alpine gardener with a plant that gives a delightful effect. The fine 
seeds should be planted in pots or boxes of sandy soil, set in a shady spot and watered carefully. 
Later the seedlings may be set where desired. 5c.
