like foliage and growth. Plant on a dry 
south bank, just at the bottom of a rock 
where it can spread over the surface. It 
does not require to be planted between 
stones unless the part is on a level with the 
walks and in a damp situation. If this is 
the case, plant between stones, filling in 
with grit and loam in equal parts, placing 
the stones so as to allow the plant to creep 
over their surface. Use a little leaf-mould and 
sand as a top-dressing in the spring to 
enable the young shoots to work into the 
soil. There are a few other species which 
are worth growing and easy of culture in 
sunny places.
