ALPINE PLANTS. 31 
species, especially C. zberica. Ido not know 
any plant which does so well in the rock 
garden where quick cover is required. It will 
do well in any aspect, if planted between 
stones; a mixture of rough loam and sand 
with a little broken limestone or sandstone 
is required. C. mznzma is better adapted 
for a sunny place, and likes a warm sandy 
soil, C. vaginalis will do in a similar 
position to mznima. A little grit may be 
added to the soil. 
CORTUSA MATTHIOLI (Szwzss Ads) and C. M. 
GRANDIFLORA are both suitable for the 
edge of the bog garden or any dampish place 
where a little shade can be obtained, Peat, 
loam, and leaf-mould. C. pubens and villosa 
(Transylvania). These require a little more 
care; they are well suited for a small garden 
close to the edge of a path, and should be 
kept dry during winter. They should be 
looked to in the early spring, as the crowns 
will have risen out of the ground. These 
must be pressed firmly back into their places 
and a little top-dressing of peaty loam added. 
CYANANTHUS LOBATUS (f/zmalayas).  C. 
INFLATUS (Szkhim). These are very beautiful
