Rock Gardens are one of the most effective landscaping features.
They also provide that all elusive curb-appeal that adds signicant value to a home at minimal cost.
There are few features in the garden that provide such a variety of interests in so little space as a well-planned and carefully planted rock garden.
The smallest plot may contain a rock garden which will house a representative and charming collection of alpine plants; but, on the other hand, there are few features in the ordinary garden that are so neglected and so ill-understood.
It must be remembered that the chief function of the rock garden is to provide the plants grown in it with conditions, so far as possible, similar to those existing in their natural haunts.
The alpines and high alpines are the most typical of all rock plants and are mostly natives of the high mountain crags and screes of the Alps and Himalayas.
The ideal rock garden, therefore, should, so far as possible, provide the soil and natural conditions pertaining in these regions.
During the short alpine summer the plants are subjected to fierce and baking sun; many of them, therefore, have thick leaves covered with down or hair to protect them from its shrivelling rays.
The roots, too, at this time need ample moisture, and this is provided by the melting of the snows on the mountain tops, whence it permeates through the scree of the moraine.
Also, to live in their natural haunts they require to be very deep and strong rooted, very often with a much greater root run than the foliage and flowers which their roots support.
Enjoy. DT.

THE MINIATURE ROCK GARDEN
Of recent years this type of indoor-gardening has become a source of great interest to amateurs.
It consists of a rock garden in miniature constructed in some suitable receptacle, usually a large earthenware pan. This, however, is not essential; in fact, the little plants are much more effective when displayed in an old pig trough or stone sink.
These may be picked up at any country sale for a few dollars; those found in many parts of the country are particularly beautiful, being hewn out of solid limestone or sandstone. Sinks are especially adaptable, as they already have the outlet; the troughs would have to be bored to provide for the necessary drainage of the soil.
Construction.-The stone used in the construction of the small rockery usually consists of rugged pieces of limestone or sandstone, although these are not essential. Cork-bark or old clinker burrs dipped in cement wash of the right colour make most realistic weather-worn stones, and very often give a much more picturesque effect.
A most important point to be considered is suitable drainage, and this may be secured by putting two inches or more of broken crocks, cinders, etc., over the bottom of the trough: the thickness of the layer depending largely upon the depth of the container.
Cover this coarse drainage with a sprinkling of finer material to prevent the soil from sifting down and clogging the drainage. Over this spread a layer of half-rotted leaves; these will tend to retain a certain amount of moisture, and will also assist in keeping the soil from mixing with the drainage. Fill the remainder of the trough with soil to within half an inch of the rim so that, when watering, the water will not wash the soil over the side.
The compost should be of a gritty nature, something on the following lines: one-third part loam, one-sixth part leaf-mould, one-third part quarter-inch chips and sand, and one-sixth part peat.
This may be varied to suit the particular requirements of the plants grown. Two to three inches of soil will provide ample rooting medium for the plants.
