We shall imagine for our present pur-pose that on a rather steep bank of good loamy soil sloping to the north-east there are already three big boulders, marked A, B, and C on theplan. The contour lines, marked at the ends with numbers, show ap-proximate successive elevations in feet above the base of one of the largetrees upon the slope. We shall add rocks in small sizes as indicated b}- the cross-hatchedareas, putting gritty soil between them, and lay out a path before we con-sider the planting, for it is a question of planting an irregular border ona steep slope, using dwarf herbs, not necessarily alpine or rock-lovingspecies. To complicate our problem we indicate the presence of two big Ken-tucky Coffee Trees {Gymnocladus dioica) below the rocks on the northside, a
