The book is intended for both the beginner and the experienced gardener and is still of great practical use today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

Contents Include: The Garden - A Microcosm of Nature - What is Rockery - What Stone to Use - Soil - Formation - Fern Rockery - Flowering Plants (Wild and Otherwise) - Hedge-Banks and Old Walls - The Big and the Small Rockery
