4:GENTIANA —The Gentians furnish the rock and bog gardens with some of 
their most glorious subjects. While some are rather difficult, there 
are some comparatively easy and all will repay any effort made to 
give them conditions to their liking. The Alpine varieties in general 
are singular in requiring an extremely large amount of root moisture, 
combined with good drainage. One difficult problem is to keep plants 
as cool as they are in their mountain homes without shading them 
more than nature does. Planting on north or east side of a well sub¬ 
merged stone, so that roots of plant may have the cooling effect of 
it, is one answer. Medium sized stones may also be placed at the bot¬ 
tom of hole in which plant is placed, so that roots may come in 
contact with them. Nearly all enjoy peat mixed with their soil.
