ALPINE PLANTS. P| 
and sand to one part loam are required. 
Should the foliage become brown at any 
time, take the plant out as soon as possible 
and examine the tap root; where a small 
white grub may be found in the heart of the 
root, the plant must be removed to some other 
part of the rockery, or if put back in the 
same place, add fresh loam, taking care 
that the old is taken away and the grubs 
destroyed. <A. setacea makes a nice companion 
for the above, and does well in any poor 
loam, with a south aspect. 
ARTEMISIAS. The smaller species from high 
altitudes, such as A. glaczalis, A. pedemontana, 
and <A. spicata, require special care, and 
should be planted on the high part of the 
rockery in a mixture of limestone and rough 
loam, and in a warm sunny place. If planted 
where a stone can overhang they are protected 
from the damp from which they suffer in winter. 
A. Baumgartenit is of later introduction, and 
should be planted between the chinks of stone 
facing full south, and where it can be perfectly 
dry in winter. This is more a foliage plant, its 
bright silvery leafage contrasting well with 
the dark stone, limestone, and loam.
