Alpine Plants e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. MY object in writing this little treatise is simply to explain the method of (i) Planting, (2) the soils, and (3) the positions required by some Of the rarer Alpines, several Of which have been found very difficult to grow in many places. Yet these plants are, for the most part, fairly easy Of culture when proper soils and aspect are given. The account Of such methods to be found in these pages will give much aid by diffusing a sound and practical knowledge of the requirements and manage ment of rockeries. I will here give a few reasons why care as to mixtures of soils and drainage proves so beneficial to plant life.
