ANNUAL FLOWERS IN ROCK GARDENS — 

Those of you who have Rock Gardens should not 
overlook the value of Annual Flowers in such 
plantings. While the backbone of a Rock Garden 
is a collection of suitable Perennial Flowers, still 
there is a definite place for Annuals. These may 
be used to fill in after the Perennials have 
flowered, or while waiting for the garden to be- 
come established. 
In any collection of Perennials, you are bound 
to have some period in the flowering season when 
nothing is in bloom. Or, you may need some 
colors to round out a color scheme that is a little 
off the balance that you seek. Here, Annuals 
will help. 
Such fillers cost but a few cents per packet and 
should not be omitted. When they have served 
their purpose, they may be removed and you do 
not feel that you are destroying valuable plants 
that cost as much as Perennials do to produce. 
If you will turn to page 44 and refer to the two 
columns headed, ‘‘Height in Inches,’’ you will 
see the varieties of compact habit, in what months 
they flower and in what colors they come
