points, and this volume meets it. Mr 

 Meredith writes with practical experience. 

 His own rock garden, constructed by himself, 

 is artistic in conception, covers a considerable 

 area, and suits the requirements of a large and 

 varied collection of all classes of alpines. In 

 it many difficult subjects, such as Edrianthus 

 Pumilio^ Morisia^ Androsace Sarmentose^ Carnea^ 

 Villosa^ Saxifraga retusa^ aretioides^ ccesia^ 

 Diapensoides^ Daphne cneorum and Blagayana^ 

 flourish and grow into good-sized tufts. 



The details of how this success has been 

 achieved are fully explained, concisely but 

 clearly, and all necessary information is given.
