The 
AMERICAN ROCK 
GARDEN SOCIETY 
HE American Rock Garden Society 
was the answer to a widespread de- 
mand for an authoritative national or- 
ganization to coordinate and direct the 
pronounced interest that had become 
manifest in rock gardening and rock 
garden plants. Organized in 1934 it has 
accomplished much in furthering the 
ideas and ideals of this type of garden- 
ing, has brought together and put in 
concrete form the knowledge and experi- 
ence of many authorities on alpines, rock 
garden plants and usage, and has dis- 
seminated this knowledge among an ever 
increasing membership.
