A SELECTION OF CHOICE ALPINE PLANTS. 281 



A Selection of Choice Alpine and Rock Plants suitable for the 

 Margins of Mixed Borders, etc. 



This is a most important selection, inasmuch as the appearance of all garden 

 borders may be improved very much by being fringed with choice alpine plants. 

 In this simple way, which may be practised without expense in the humblest 

 cottage-garden, numbers of lovely kinds may be grown, all of which, from per- 

 sonal experience, I can testify will thrive in this way. All kinds are omitted 

 that are liable to perish when grown on the level ground, also all kinds that 

 grow too tall to be used on the margin.
