Rock Plants 
A good rock garden demands special attention to the 
soil when planting. Sandy loam, peat moss and well rottcd 
manure in equal portions provide a good base soil for gen- 
eral use. Plants with special requirements may have other 
ingredients added. 
Be sure no air pockets are left when working with the soil, 
either when the rocks are set or when plants are put in. 
The plant roots should be firmed well at the time of trans- 
planting and after any freezing weather which might cause 
them to be heaved from the ground. Such plants as dianthus 
and saxifrage profit from having the dead blossoms removed 
after flowering unless seed is desired.
