A FEW NOTES ON ROCK-GARDENS. 
457 
It is wortli while to add, in regard to the first three lists, a 
word of caution. These lists contain a certain number of Conifers 
and Shrubs which, while suitable occupants even of the rockery 
(and still more of the rock-garden) for a number of years, ulti- 
mately reach a size necessitating their removal to " more 
commodious premises."
