" Nowadays we are on the alert tor things new and different. This craving ta even penetrated into onr time proven architectural styles and we find ourselves tug ging at the bonds of .traditional ties, while' at the same time we know that aay radical departure from s given style Is bound to spell failure. The problem seems By LILLIE L. MADSEN Nearly always when one hears of the National Yellowstone Park or the Big Horn . mountains one thinks of geysers, hot springs, bears and mountain peaks. Sel dom does one hear the trees or flowers mentioned. And yet I believe that I enjoyed these more than anything else on my entire drive from Oregonto Wisconsin. Particularly were the rock gar dens of the Big Horn lovely. Can you imagine sloping fields 'high In the mountains dotted with flat rocks and .covered with gold and blue and white and red bloom? Even ) at an altitude of over 9000 feet we found marvel ous blue-and gold floral display. Each beautifully colored flat rock lay as if it bad been careful ly placed there by hand. Each was bordered iwita lovely flower ing alpine plants tor which, we pay handsomely at home. The grass was : gTeen between the rocks and masses of flowers; the trees formed ! a background for each separate garden and always the nigged, colorful peaks of Wy oming's mountains made the per fect setting for the whole. I don't believe that I " have ever seen a more lovely sight than a sunset on a Wyoming plateau with In dian paint brush, forget-me-nots. flax, sunflowers and ; countless others blooming all about us. I marveled greatly at the way the rocks were situated and the way the flowers grew about them. Nature's gardener must have taken particular care to do his best In the rock gardens of the Big Horns. We could all learn much about rockeries by inspect ing these in our mountains. Color combinations ' were . also carried out remarkable well. Blue and yellow gardens were the ' most plentiful and' dozens ot varieties went to .carry out the scheme. There were larkspur growing in the sunny open places which were yet not too dry. Cammas was still blooming in the lower and damp er regions of the mountains. Iris, while "its season seemed to be waning, was ' still . in bloom. The blue-eyed grass was everywhere. A marsh marigold, which is yel low, in the eastern states, proved blue "in Wyoming. ; There were plenty of monkshoods in the molster places. The wlndflower or anenome which we cultivate so much in the Willamette valley grew all over the moutftains. Lu pins in both dwarf and taller var ietles was plentiful.' Blue flax added its lovely shade. Both f ranged gentian and star gentian grew along' the mountain streams and over the moist meadows. The true forget-me-not I -was surprlS' ed to find running wild. There seemed to be both a tiny variety, growing ao more than two inches. and a taller one. There were sev eral kinds of Peotstemons (beard tongues) throughout the park and over the mountains. There were jrellow daisies and sunflow ers. Most of 'the Wyoming eolum- oine which -e saw "were yellow although some were marked with red.

The old saylag""there is no thing new under the sun" Is particularly true of architecture, therefore, we must review the old with new eyes and dlscover'what has hereto-fore been overlooked. In the actual working out of the .theory we find ourselves adapting .old forms and motifs in a new. yet perfectly natural manner. Prob ably much the same as our ances tors would have done bad they been building under present-day conditions. , - Of course, our mode of living DOES YOUR I GARDEN GROW? stonecrop hung from the erags in the rocks In such, a manner that one - often wondered . what they found to grow from or how they could hang on at all. The wild geranium added much color and was found most frequently In treeless plaees where there was sufficient water. Evening prim rose grew in well-drained, mod erately dry soils, and the Rock rose, closely resembling the prim rose was also found though in frequently. The Rock rose is a lovely flower and attracted ' con siderable attention - from - our party. The scarlet Indian paintbrush (Castillela) was one of the most showy flowers found In the park and mountains. They grew in the dry open, stony places. The flow ers are tubular and are inter spersed with leaves of the same scarlet as the flowers themselves. The Indian ' paint brush also comes in white but of course this was much less noticeable. - It Interested me to find a cac tus (Optuntia) growing on the plateaus of Wyoming's mountains and lower lands. I was somewhat of the opinion the cacti would not grow where the winters were even as cold aa those we have in the Willamette valley and . yet here they were growing where the temperatures reach degrees be low. The pink and yellow blooms growing fiat on top of the low plants greatly resembled water lilies. The drawback was the beastly prickles but even at that. they would be an interesting ad dition to ones Oregon rockery, One of the flowers which In terested me as much as any one' otner was the little fragrant phlox which grew in such masses over" the rocks. The plants are low and cushion-like and are cov ered with a carpet of small white flowers. These would be a wel come addition to' any rock gar a en. I am not positive but I do believe that the Phlox Hoodli fits the description ot the little na tive of the Wromlnar rocks. I have mentioned only a few of ine many flowers that 1 found here I could have a Big : Horn rock garden in my own back yard. Evidently if: the right flow ers are planted in the right man ner a rock garden needs ' little care. Certainly no one wis weed ing, Hoeing, irrigating,' these mountain gardens. , Rare Rocks Make Interesting Show, INDEPENDENCE. August S--O. A. Kreamer; local merchant on Main street, has jr. window that is attracting . attention. It is a dis play of different kinds -of rock and petrified vegetation that was gathered from the Black Hills ot South Dakota,' - These were brought to the city by F. O.
