ROCK PLANTS 27 


For several years rock gardens and rock plants in general have been neglected. Because of lack of trained 
help we have had to discontinue growing many beautiful plants. Now, however, we are again building up 
our collection of Alpines and rock plants and offer here a few to help replenish our rock gardens. The 
plants described are varieties suitable for the sunny garden only. See the following pages for rock plants 
suitable for shade. 

Field Grown Clumps 
To fill out that period when the summer’s floral parade starts 
to fade and before the fall chrysanthemum season begins the 
showy Border Asters are the answer. Any sunny spot in the 
rock garden or border with fairly rich soil will delight them. 
All are compact in habit—none over 15 inches high.
