Planting Plan for “Front Cover Flower Bed” 
Rock Gardens, such as this planting is, should be attempted only if it can be 
located on a natural hillside. In bloom here are the Tulips, Hyacinths, Daf- 
fodils, Forget-me-nots, Primroses, etc., of mid-May. Later will follow other 
bulbs and perennial flowers planted between them, keeping up a continuous 
succession of varied bloom till late fall closes the season of all bloom. Such a 
treatment for a steep slope, otherwise difficult to care for, creates a spot of 
beauty from earliest spring to November.

Substitutions may be made as desired for any of the plants selected, remembering that low- 
growing plants should be used in foreground and taller kinds toward the back. Watch out for 
color clashes among adjacent flowers that bloom at the same period. 
In selecting subjects for this garden, we have omitted some items shown in the color plate 
and substituted on account of the unavailability of some items such as hyacinths, crocus, etc., 
during the war.
