The foregoing list is, of course, not a complete one, 

 but it will serve as a guide for the beginner. Many of 

 these will also stand a partially shaded place, some of 

 them prefer such situations, but all of them will grow 

 in the open sunlight if the pitch of the ground is not 

 too great toward the south or southwest.

To these may be added the native species that grow 

 naturally in America at elevations in excess of 1,500 

 feet, such as Copfi-'i trifolia, Cornus canadensis, Clin- 

 ionia bonaUs, TinirUn cordifol a, Trillium grandiflorum, 

 Clayionia caroHniana, Dalibardn repens, Polemonium 

 VanBnmtiXj various terrestrial habenarias, Mitella 

 nuda, Arenaria groenlandica, and many others. 



The plants both for shaded and sunny situations will 

 grow b(^tt(T if there is a hberal top-dressing of leaf- 

 mold and sand, about half and half, applied each spring. 

 It will be noted that all the plants listed in both lists 

 are perennials. Most natural alpines are of this type, 

 the shortness of the growing season precluding the 

 possibility of the full (.leveiopment of an annual. 



For those who wish to go into the growing of alpines 

 more extensively, a partial list of the alpine genera 

 together with an indicatipn of the number of species 

 that are to be found in the principal European trade 

 catalogues is appended. Many additions will suggest 

 themselves as the alpine gardener becomes better ac- 

 quainted with those listed below and their relatives:
