Alpine Plants on Snowdon.—For some considerable time 
Mr. A. K. Bulley, of Ness, Neston, near Birkenhead, has been 
anxious to ensure that the experimental cultivation of Alpine 
plants from all parts of the world might be attempted in some 
suitable spot in England or Wales where the conditions approach 
those in which such plants grow naturally. The experiment is 
desirable as a concomitant of the corresponding attempt arranged 
for in the Highlands of Scotland by the Regius Keeper of the 
Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh.
