PLANTS FOR SUB ALPINE MOUNDS, ROCKWORK, AND FOR WINDOW GARDENS. 
A very interesting feature in modern gardening is the development of Sub-Alpine Mounds or large Rockwork 
and planting such with an Alpine vegetation of a semi-wild character, representing almost every tint of Alpine 
foliage and variety of Alpine flowers. On these Alpine mounds there should be a liberal planting of spring- 
nowenng bulbs, such as Chionodoxa Luciliae, Scilla sibirica and bifolia, Snowdrops, Crocus, dwarf Daffodils, 
Snowflakes, hnti.larias, Iris reticulata, Iris Persica, Sisyrinchium grandiflorum, Christmas and Lenten Roses 
,*» to be attractive in spring ; and Lilies, Hyacinthus candicans, &c., for summer, in addition to the usual 
plants employed on such occasions.
