The "Eockery edging" in 

 this plan may be of the same 

 material as in the last. Thus, 

 however, its chief interest as re- 

 gards bloom would be in the spring, 

 though in respect of foliage its 

 beauty would be lasting. The 

 great majority of dwarf rock plants 

 bloom before autumn ; but the 

 following, among others, may be 

 introduced for autumn flowering : — 

 Silene quadrifida and S. Schafta, 

 Autumn Crocus, Colchicums and 

 Sternbergias. Many annuals late 

 sown for the purpose, such as 

 Androsace coronopifolia, Papaver 

 alpinum and Lychnis Lagascte 

 (neither of these are annuals), 

 Papaver nudicaule and umbrosum, 

 and Berberis empetrifolia.
