a north wall in the garden where nothing else will 
grow, or against the north side of a greenhouse or 
dwelling-house. To grow it in such a position first 
place a few stones on the ground about 2ft. from the 
base of the wall, then prepare the proper compost 
turning it over two or three times to mix it 
thoroughly, and throw it among and behind the 
stones already placed in position as a groundwork ; 
make all firm and plant again, rest stones in position 
to keep the plants in their places and prevent the 
soil which is to be added from washing down, and 
proceed as before until the slope impinges against the 
wall-face. Proceeding in this way a very beautiful 
and most flourishing bank of Ramondia may be 
obtained. Ramondia pyrenaica can also be grown 
on a south-east, or even full south, aspect, provided 
abundance of water is given to the roots, otherwise 
plants placed in this position soon perish. When 
thus planted in sun, all watering must be done in 
the evening, and never during the course of the day, 
otherwise the leaves will turn brown and _ shrivel 
up. Constant watering during the hot weather 
of summer is indeed the secret of keeping plants of 
Ramondia vigorous and their foliage perfect. 
Ramondia Nathaliz (Servia). 
Treat similarly to Ramondia pyrenaica, with the 
exception that no limestone must be added to the 
compost, as the plant strongly objects to it, and will 
soon lose all its foliage if limestone is used. 
Ramondia serbica (Servia). 
Treat exactly like Haberlea rhodopensis,
