The primary objective in rock-gardening should be to furnish suitable conditions for rock plants and not 
an arrangement of stones to be covered with unsuitable plants that would thrive much better elsewhere. 
We can supply seeds of a great many of the proper plants, but we believe that you should have expert 
advice from one who really knows. 
THE ROCK GARDEN PRIMER by THORNTON 
is a meaty volume, well arranged and amply illustrated. It explains the proper method of placing rocks and 
gives full information on the growing of suitable plants. We recommend this as the finest book on Rock 
Gardens for the beginner. $2.00 Postpaid
