HOUSES FOR ALPINE PLANTS. 



177 



special requirements must be borne in mind, and they cannot be 

 regarded as permanent occupants of the Alpine house. 



To this list the writer has thought it well to add, in Part II., 

 a small number of plants which, while otherwise suitable for 

 the purpose in hand (notably as to some for supplying bloom in 

 dead winter), are not strictly hardy even under glass, unless in very 

 mild localities and seasons ; for instance, Primula obconica and 

 P.floribunda, Iris alata, and Paroclietus communis. Such plants 

 will probably be only introduced where a cool greenhouse or 

 conservatory is available for bringing them into bloom. When 

 thus brought on, they may generally, at least in ordinarily 

 mild seasons, be introduced to the Alpine house with good 

 result.
