Certain it is tnat a well planned and well planted rock garden leaves noth- ing to be desired in the world of beauty. That the success of the rock- ery lies in its proper construc- tion cannot be too well stressed. Even without any planting ra skilfully constructed rock gard- en has charm, and no higgledy- piggledy arrangement should be permitted. AUhen the rocks are placed, and are satisfactorily even when cri- tically viewed, the prepared soil mentioned last week, should be packed around the rocks and in all the crevices so that not the lc,ast air space will remain. A thin wooden blade should be used, or a trowel such as brick- layers use, to ensure that the soil gets down to the lowest lev- els. Very often it will be found that after a heavy rain the soil has sunk and settled in the struc- ture and will need replenishing. In the absence of rain a good hosing will decide if the soil has been firmly enough packed. If the rockery is large, it will be better to build it in sections, and each section may, if desired, be a miniature rockery in itself. Care of course should be exer- cised to see that each section blends in with each of the others. You will in this way be able to work in a different ex- posure, allowing a wider selec- tion of plant material. Provision should be made for access to all parts of the rock- ery by means of paths. This is done pleasingly by making paths of fairly flat rocks and working them into the scheme. Rough steps may be introduced, their crevices being filled with soil in which stonecrops and rock- foils may be planted. As to the planting, so much could be written one almost hesi- tates to begin. However, as a generalthing the greatest beauty may be obtained by placing the plants in such a manner that they will clothe the face of the rocks. Do not, however, attempt to cover all the rockwork, but allow it to project boldly in vari- ous places. Place small groups of the same variety of plants to- gether. The choice alpines should be given the most favor- able locations, while the strong- er growing plants will thrive as fillers in the remaining soil pock- ets. Many of the rock plants, par- ticularly the saxifrages have a leaf growth which forms a dense rosette. If water is allowed to stand in the crown of such plants they will rot. Consequently they should be planted in the steepest parts of the rockery. NOTE--The writer will consider it a pleasure to answer questions concerning the garden ln this column. The questions should be addressed to the writer ln care of the Editor. The answer will appear in an early issue or if a personal reply ls desired a stamped, self-addressed envelope should be enclosed. SHOWER FOR FIRE VICTIMS A shower was held at the home of Nrs. H.
