 to associate Alpine and water gardening. The two 

 phases can be blended, as we shall show, into a 

 harmonious whole, and the future of Alpine gardening 

 in Great Britain is the brighter for the tendency which 

 is observable to bring these two fascinating branches 

 of flower gardening into intimate association with each 

 other.
