. Alpine flowers for English gardens . Mountain plants. Part I. THE WINDOIV ROCK-GARDEN. 55 convenient, with morsels of broken sandstone. A few mossy or ancient-looking stones should be half buried on the upper sur- face, and then the whole should be planted, the best time to do this being April. It is not merely possible to keep alpine suc- culents in this way : it is easy to grow a multitude of the most interesting and beautiful kinds ! I never in wild or garden saw these plants in better health, or looking more at home, than on the outside of a low sunny window in Mr. Peter Barr's house at Tooting. Fig. 40 shows a view of this from the interior ; it was no less pretty seen from without. It is, however, impossible to show in an engraving the exquisite effect of the Lilliputian succulents when struggling in graceful confusion on a spot they enjoy so much. The attention required is very trifling, some little taste in forming and planting, a judicious selection of.

I need hardly add that small and brilliant spring bulbs might be em- ployed to hght up this tiny garden in spring as well as that previously mentioned. It would also be desirable to plant subjects of a drooping character on the outer margin. The alpine succulents are all thoroughly hardy, and would remain in good condition during the winter, but a little changing and replanting every spring would be very desirable. Hitherto alpine plants have generally been grown in pots, and it might perhaps be supposed from this fact that something like perfection was arrived at in their culture. It is not so. I do not advocate their culture in pots at all where an opportunity of making even the smallest type of rockwork exists ; but there are many cases in which they cannot be well grown in any other way. It is desirable to keep some kinds in pots till sufficiently. Please note that these images are extracted from sc
