Alpines 
American Alpines in the Garden 
By Anderson McCully $2.50 
19 illus.; 262 pages; x 8 inches 
So much has been heard of foreign alpines and so 
little of American kinds that this book, with descrip¬ 
tions of 535 choice and beautiful native American 
plants, is bound to be a revelation to gardeners. 
All of the 535 plants described in the third and 
mafin part of the book have been tested out in the 
author’s own garden. Each one is described for size, 
growing habit, foliage, preferred soil and exposure, 
and size, color and number of blooms. Finally, there 
are lists of plants classified according to garden uses. 
Western American Alpines 
By I. N. Gabrielson $3.50 
123 illus.; 271 pages; 5 ! /g x 8 I /2 inches 
The alpine flora of the Pacific Northwest has, in 
large part, remained unknown to American gardens. 
This book is an attempt to fill the gap in the garden 
knowledge of the alpine plants of that territory. 
Only true alpines, rock and desert species, and wood- 
landers dwarf enough to be valuable in rock gardens, 
are discussed. The generous number of illustrations 
will assist the gardener more in understanding the 
habits and possibilities of the plants than any practical 
amount of botanical description.
