From the Introduction 
It is a practical work , written by a practical man about a 
subject which he thoroughly understands , and by one who has 
experienced all the joys and sorrows connected with the cultivation 
of rock plants and alpines. To ensure even moderate success in 
rock gardening two main points are essential : a properly con- 
structed rock garden , and a reliable guide to the nature and 
requirements of plants to be grown on it. There existed a demand 
for a sound practical work , giving explicit and detailed informa- 
tion on these points , and this volume meets it. 
“ It is safe to say it is one of the best of the really practical works which have been 
written, and we can cordially recommend it to everyone who is embarking, or has already 
embarked, on this fascinating branch of horticulture .” — The Gardener s Chronicle.

“Mr Meredith writes with practical experience; his information is most explicit and 
detailed, and he goes into the whole question of site, construction, cultivation and cost 
in a way which should make it possible for ever}' reader of his work to make and main- 
tain a successful rock garden .... a thrice-welcome book, practical, clear, concise, and 
yet written on lines that satisfy the best canons of horticultural art. ” — The Ladies' Field.
