SELECTIONS OF ALPINE AND ROCK PLANTS 

 FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES. 



A Selection of Alpine Plants which ought to be Grown 

 IN EVERY Nursery. 



When nurserymen do begin to collect hardy alpine plants, they gene- 

 rally err by not taking care to select ornamental kinds only. Others, 

 appalled by the display of vigorous weeds seen here and there under 

 the name of " alpine plants," never grow one at all. But most intelli- 

 gent nurserymen would gladly grow a collection if they were confident 

 of securing really ornamental kinds. I have therefore taken considerable 

 pains in selecting the following ; they will grow in almost any soil on 

 the level ground, and will give general satisfaction. And as they are 

 fitted for every nursery, so they will embellish every garden. They are 

 the plants that beginners should select, and they will, I hope, intro- 

 duce many to a very delightful communion with alpine flowers.
