PLANTS SUITABLE FOR ROCK GARDENS 
EVERY Rock Garden has problems of its own. No list of this nature can in 
any way be complete -—it can merely suggest a few of the varieties that are 
being successfully used in the finest American Rock Gardens. Herbaceous 
perennials are not included, as use of the various kinds depends on the type 
and size of the rock garden. We will gladly make recommendations of peren- 
nials to use for given types of rock gardens.
