Excerpt from Alpine Plants: A Practical Method for Growing the Rarer and More, Difficult Alpine Flowers
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.
