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 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.

collection of ornamental grasses, a number of which will lend attractive background and add charm to 
this type of garden.
