Plate XX. An effective combination of stone work and of plantings in an informal lawn. Varieties of stonecrop, moss pinks and Scotch pinks lend charm to an otherwise uninteresting mass of stone. (See plate LIII, page 334, for lily planting shown in background of this picture.) (See page 139)

Plate XXI. An uninteresting rocky slope often can be turned into an attractive landscape feature through the careful selection and planting of plants adapted to light, sandy soils. This slope is covered with a grouping of hardy pinks, evergreen candy-tuft, saxifrage and tufted pansy. (See page 139)
