Excerpt from Plants for the Rock-Garden, 1924 Another point of great importance is the proper building of the garden. This should be done step by step, building both soil and rock together, which eliminates the possibility of holes between the rocks, as is often the case with so-called rockeries that are merely a heap of stones with soil thrown over them, or vice versa. The rocks should be placed more or less flat, in such manner that the water will run-into'the soil and not drain off. When in this position, the-rocks protect the roots from heat and drought in summer and severe frost in winter. The pockets should be large enough to allow ample space for soil, and in places where roots can grow unobstructed between the rocks. An annual top-dressing of soil in spring_ aids in keeping the trailing stems in place, as well as being beneficial to all the pl.ants The soil should be watched in summer and kept moist by watering. It IS advisable to plant small evergreens throughout the rockery, so that a winter effect can be obtained, even when the flowering plants have died down. The latter should be selected from, those varieties that will collectively cover a long season of bloom. The bog plants, if any, should be near the pool or stream. All the varieties named in this list have been tried and have proved highly satisfactory for Rock Garden planting, the majority being essentially rock-plants.

Excerpt from The Rock Garden In the whole history of gardening there has never been so much interest taken in the cultivation of alpines as there is to-day. Not very many years ago it was quite exceptional to find a rock garden worthy of the name in any but the largest of our private gardens. To-day, however, a garden of any appreciable dimensions is not considered complete unless it contains a portion devoted To the cultivation of alpines. The primary reason for this development is undoubtedly the beautiful alpine plants which have been so successfully displayed at the great horticultural exhibitions. The public have seen the wonderful variety of plant life that can be arranged in a natural manner in a small space, and the resulting demand for rock gardens has, during recent years, been little less than phenomenal. The second, though minor reason, has been the introduction of a great many new plants which are suitable for either the rock garden proper or the small bogs or pools that can be appropriately associated with it. In conjunction with this widespread interest in rock gardens there has arisen a demand for information about them, and the plants suitable for growing therein,' and it is for the purpose of supplying this information that this little book has been prepared. Rock gardening contains many pitfalls for the beginner, and the aim of this book is to show how these pitfalls may be avoided and how success may be achieved.
