A corner entrance opens into a hall from Your Garden and Mine By ELIZABETH LORD Those- who are especially inter ested in rock gardens are going to have a very happy time the next three months. A rock gar-. den tightly situated and Well made planned and planted for succession of bloom, is a Joy and great pleasure to garden lovers of the al pines and various rock plants. But a pile of rocks heap ed In a garden without any spe cial purpose Is far from 'an rater-. sting, or beautiful ornamenta tion. Rock should be treated with respect. Just because grass refuses to grow" on a curb is no reason war rocks should be forced in a situation entirely foreign to their habitation. - The English people nave fostered rock gardening more than any other nation; their rambling. Informal archi tecture' lends, itself-beautifully to the Informality of rock gardening while a saese formal type of archi tecture demand a similar treat- meat la the tardea. This Is one reason why roek gardens hare been so popular in the west. Innumerable books have been written on rock gardens, but no matter now much on reads, it takes a dever person to be able to Imitate nature. Of alt kinds of gardens, they are the most diffi cult to make correctly and charm ingly. Pictures help more than words and descriptions. "Before and afters, and "In bet weens" is the best lesson of alL In the pro cess, of making -.the garden and after the completion, planting be-. gins. And the choice of material is so enormous, one staggers over the list. Bulbs, of course, must be considered. Alpines and - a few shrubs lend interest. Then after the list of favorites have been made, one mast consider shade and sun, dry and moist situations in other words the right plant in the right place. Besides this, color must be giv en careful thought. A great num ber of .rock plants are all color and no green and when these flar ing colors scream, the charm of the garden is lost. In my own rock walL two toned Aabretls have grown together, a red lav ender and a blue, they act as though they would like to ' slap each other, very soon they anal be relieved of this tension. The mid yellow . Allysuns saxatlle must be handled with care; fas more easily to combine with other rock plants Is the A. salphureum and X. critrinum. The pale lemon la-sweet with Anbretias and Myo sous and-cam even stand some of thg.jaUder PMox sublataa. Very soon the Jonquil family wni leave us, tut the N nlnus, N minimus and others of this dainty variety are very happy In the reck garden. JonqalU are one of our very . pest neutralising bulbs, they .are tar more beantl rul arrowing: at ranaont man in borders aad la stiff straight rows: Wild tulips (T. eluslana, T, daiy- stemon and T. kaumannianai which are now blooming like the shelter of the friendly rock rather ihas the epea spaces.

Almost the shape of one hand the large leaf offsets the dainty blue, long-stemmed flower. This plant grows well In -poor, soil, for rich soil tends to make the leaf grow too coarse. This Is a nice plant for the rock garden, but it Is valuable as an accent on ac count of the stunning leaf. Just at present it is very pretty associat ed with viola apricot. A nice shrub for the rock gar den is the quince (Cydonia ja ponic). Th taller variety might be used as a background for the ow sprawling types between rock and on hanks. The quince Is a glorious shrub. The deep rose col or is most common, but often one sees the coral shades. The most stunning color X have seen lately is a brick red, a shrub belonging to Mrs. Walter Smith on High Snd Mission streets. Two years ago this spring I was making a tour et the Arnold Ar boretum near Boston, Mass.. and it was at a time when the quinces were in full bloom. There were at least ZS varieties striving for special attention. From the palest pink to the deepest garnet, shrubs Ull and upright, low and twisted branches, no two alike, it was surely a sight to behold. It item ed as though every shrub in this group had a purpose and could be placed in its proper situation. Vainly have I searched through the nursery catalogues for at least a few of the many varieties, but not 'until recently have I heard (aad this from en Oregon enthus iastic grower) that a nurseryman in Michigan had all the specimens of the Cydonlas from the Arnold Arboretum and they could be pur chased. But alas! In reply to my inauirr. I was Informed that all the Cydonias had been disposed of as there was no demand for them. Such calamities In garden lore is a tragedy we hope to sel dom meet.
