CV'-:rr *rs ru)rcrvr r "-rr vcr r Rock gardens are planted al- most entirely with perennials and low.growing woody plants. With the amount of rock avail- able in West Vancouver and with the necessity of terraces due to the slope of the ground it is aurprking that there aron't more rock gardens. However, there are a number of splendid specimens of rock gardens in the municipality but there is ample opportunity for the developing of many more. The natural locations for rock gardens are old quarries and rocky ledges. A splendid ex- ample of which is Butchart'6 Gardens just outside of Vic- toria. To our knowledge there are no old quarries in West Van- couver, but there is an ample supply of rocks which can be used for reproducing a natural- istic rocky ledge. A round pile of rocks in the middle of the garden is not 6 rock garden. It is entirely too formal. To be natural, rock gardens must be informal. Boulders or flat rocks arranged in a bank or placed so as to simulate a rock ledge makes a good foundation for a rock garden. The plants used in rock gardens are mostly her- baceous perennials, although some of the annuals are quite suitable. A few low growing shrubs are also appropriate. A good guide as to what plants to choose is your local seed cata- 'logues. They usually have a list of suitable rockery plants. Some nurseries specialize in them. It should be borne in mind that most rock plants are sun- loving and are easily grown if not disturbed too much by fre- quent cultivation. Pufl out the weeds before they get too large. The soil in the rockery should not be too rich. In their natural setting they do not get much fertilizer and do well without it. Most of the rock plants require plenty of water during the sum- mer season. Rock Gardening for Amateurs by H. H. Thomas, is a good book and is reasonable in price. Mrs. R. S., would like to know how to protect perennials during the winter. A few twigs placed crosswise over the plants and then covered with leaves ls about the best protection. If leaves are placed directly on top of the plants and in close contact with the soil they ferment in the spring and injure the perennials. The twigs serve to keep the leaves ofl'he ground and allow the plants to get air.

WOULD STANDARDIZE SCHOOL BOOKS Resolution of the District Rstepayers'nd Residents's- sociation "that the Dominion Government be asked to call s conference of all provincial de- partments of education with a view to standardizing all school text books throughout Canada," was endorsed by the North Van- couver City Council last Monday night. NARROWS SPAN TO BE THEME OF MEETING Public Will Be Invited to Early North Shore Gathering North Vancouver City repre- sentatives on the directorate of Burrard Inlet Tunnel & Bridge Co, were authorized by the City Council Monday night to co- operate in calling a public meet- ing to discuss Second Narrows Bridge matters. The meeting will be arranged as soon as the directors obtain definite information following negotiations with the Harbor Board and Dominion Bridge Co. Mayor E. H. Bridgman, presi- dent of the bridge board, ex- pressed the opinion that amend- ments to the proposed shipping regulations, ss asked by the de- partment of marine, would not constitute 6 serious obstacle. He thought the changes that had been requested were mainly for the purpose of clarifying the in- tent)on of certain clauses. He added that Harbor Commission- er J, B. Thomson, who is now in Ottawa, had apparently approv- ed the changes in the regula- tions which are now on their way to Vancouver for submis- sion to the Harbor Board.
