DWARF ALPINES ANY ONE CAN GROW 



But the peculiar charm of a rock garden is not in plants that 

 are two feet high or more. It is in the plants that grow only a few 

 inches high, for it is a never-ending delight to see them spread out 

 until they carpet a space three to ten feet square. Do not forget 

 that all the plants in the next list really grow on the Alps, and have 

 the true alpine charm: yet you can order the plants from any 

 American nurseryman, either in spring or fall. As a rule, it is 

 not safe to set out newly bought alpine plants in autumn, but you 

 need not be afraid of these:
