HINTS FOR GARDENERS PLANTS FOR ROCK GARDEN Practically all seedsmen list sui table planting material for the rock garden, that Interesting little layout representing a mountainous range In miniature which can be developed in one's own garden. While there are literally thousands! of species of alpine plants from all parts of the world, the number that are proving hardy In Canada' is limited, and the novice would bed well-advised to confine himself atj first to any or all of the following varleltes which are obtained elth er as seed or plants; the thrcej best Phloxes (obtainable In plants-! only) are: Subulata in white, plnkl and lilac; Amoena. pink and dlva-1 ricate in white and pale lavender! blue; Violas may be secured In many pleasing colors, there are two Primulas, the cortusoldes. a rosy lilac, and dentlculata. a white to lilac rose, two Arabls,.the alplnus, a white, and the alplnua roseus, a pink. Other plants in Clude Alyssum saxatlle compac'- tum (yeilow); Aubretia, ; (various); Armerla,(rose and white); Cala-mlntha alpina (purple); Campanula carpatlca, .(blue and white); Cerastium tomentosum (grayish foliage with white flowers) ; Chelr- anthus alllonl biennial (orange.); Dlanthus deltoldes , (rose-pink); Oypsophlla repens (white); Hellan- themum mutablle (various); Iberls sempervlrens (white); Linarla al plna brids (various); Sllene schatta (rosy-purple); Tunica saxlfrega (pink); Veronica prostrata (blue) Lychnis alpina (bright rose). The secret of successful rock gardening is informality. Use Irregular shaped stones, planted firmly, with the pocket of soil between leading back into the centre of the mound, so that there will be full room for root development and moisture supplies will not be cut off. There must be good drainage. Before attempting to establish one of these gardens, It would be well, to visit one In your locality, or at, 'least to read a good book" on the subject.
