ton. Gardens on long slope
should be terraced. each section
leveled to achieve interest and to
avoid erosion.
The slope or dividing walls need
not be high. Two or three steps are
sufficient to produce the desired
effect. On steeply sloping ground
the walls will naturally be relatively
much higher A row OF low-growing
shrubs or roses may be planted at
the top of the low terrace to pro-
vide additional height or depth as
the case may be. The stone or brick
steps should be given setting OF
shrubbery or plants. They may be
planted with creeping plants to both
soften their outlines and to give
added interest to the garden.
The slopes may be planted to grass
where one is willing to take the
time to properly care for it. Grass
on a slope needs more water and
feeding than that on level space,
especially on slopes facing to the
south or west. They tend to dry out
and the grass to be stunted. Now
ing grass on steep slope is some
thing of chore; vines may be
substituted for the grass to meet
these objections.
Or, the slopes may be treated as
rock gardens, with rocks to hold
the soil and to provide the necessary
background and support for rock
garden plants. Just as much care is
desirable in the planting of such
slopes as is necessary for any other
successful rock garden. Large rocks
properly buried, covered with pre-
pared soil. and with provision for
drainage, are recommended.
Dry rock walls may be substituted
for the rock garden treatment OF the
slopes. Such walls when properly
constructed may be planted with
many kinds of interesting Towering
plants and shrubs. II the garden is
given formal treatment the rock
wall may be topped with a clipped
hedge and with accent plants at the
corners and at the steps. Masonry
walls of brick or stone are some
times constructed with pockets for
plants, although more frequently
they are covered with ivy, or rows
OF trailing plants planted at the
top However, masonry walls are
more costly and unless there is
difficult retaining wall problem in
volved the dry rock wall, rock gar
den or grass planted slope will be
found preferable.
Where terraced gardens are on a
natural slope there is apt to be little
or no drainage problem. But where
one is trying to achieve a sunken-
garden effect on a level piece of
ground the drainage problem may
be very real. In such situations it
is usually desirable to provide sub
surface drainage, with the tile con-
nected to the sewer. Otherwise
there is danger of water standing
on plants and grass, injuring, if not
killing, them.
Even on terraced slopes the drain
age problem should not be ignored.
Water draining from one level to
another may wash out terraces. It
is quite likely to remove soil and
plant food, especially during a tor
rental rain such as we had last
week. One may handle the run-off
