PINACEAE 
Next to the rock work in importance and even more important un¬ 
less the rocks are good, and the construction excellent, are the mem^ 
bers of the pine family. They are not at all difficult. Good loam; 
good drainage. Here we grow them in the open to the surprise of 
our English visitors. Where sun is savage a light shade is beneficial. 
In a general way, the low more prostrate forms should be planted at 
high elevations in the rock garden to conform to wind-swept slopes 
of mountains. The slender spire-like and pyramidal small trees 
should progress up the slopes to represent the tree-clad hills below 
tree-line. The rounded domes and weeping forms are best as ac¬ 
cents by themselves or against a rock. At any time of year they add 
character that is beyond color to the rock garden.
