be completed at one planting. In fact, the Rock Gardens that are giv 
ing their owners the most enjoyment are those that are never com 
pletely finished, but where there is always room to add some rare alpine 
plant or a new rock of special formation, from time to time. Rock Gar¬ 
dens may vary from one which takes but a little corner of the garden, to 
one covering the entire hillside of some large estate, and each be 
equally pleasing to its owner. There is usually a place fora Bird Bath or 
Lily Pool in nearly every Rock Garden. Water gardening is also very 
fascinating. We have a leaflet on Rock Gardens and Lily Pools that 
we will be glad to send you if you would like it. 
DISTANCE FOR PLANTING. Most Perennials do best 
when grouped together with plants 6 to 12 inches apart. If 
set in rows across a bed, have the plants about 8 inches 
apart in rows and the rows 12 to 15 inches apart. If single hedge row or 
border effect is wanted, either set a single or double row with plants 8 
inches apart alternately. Where a single clump effect is wanted it is better 
to set three to five plants 4 to 6 inches apart, so that they will grow to¬ 
gether and give the effect of one large plant. In planning where to set 
your plants, notice the heights given after name of each variety. This is a 
average ultimate height of plants when in blossom. Then plan to set the 
larger growing varieties in background and the smaller sorts in front. 
TRANSPLANTING AND CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
Perennial plants should be set in the ground the same 
depth or just a trifle deeper than they stood in nurseries. Dig 
holes deep enough so that the roots of the plants can go straight down into 
the soil to their full length. We advise the use of Peat Humus for putting 
in holes around bottom part of roots. A good way to do is to dig hole, 
place plant in position, throw in a handful of Peat, fill in earth up to 
within an inch or so of ground level. Then fill hole with Miracle Grow 
Nutrient Solution (see page 23) and let it soak away. Then fill in with 
earth to ground level, firming and smoothing soil with hands. If hot and 
dry weather conditions prevail when plants are set, shade for a few 
days until they become established. Complete Transplanting and Cul¬ 
tural directions are sent with each shipment from our Nurseries.
