Alpine Plants. 149 
25 Accessory Plants for the Small Rock- 
Garden. 
The following list is of the utmost importance to the 
appearance of the smal! rock-garden, in which the uniformity 
of levels and of type cannot be diversified by the free 
employment of shrubs and the larger herbaceous forms. 
It provides chiefly stronger-growing subjects, some of which 
(even when not themselves strictly speaking “ Alpines ”) 
afford a character and variety to the rock-garden that 
greatly enhance the effect of its more proper denizens, 
while they themselves attain increased value and distinction 
from their special surroundings; and others greatly assist 
to prevent bareness on the rockery, out of the main 
flowering season, particularly in the latter half of the year.
