WM. BORSCH & SON, Maplewood, Oregon 
Dl A NTH US—Alpine species. Indispensable 
for dry sunny places or walls, and with 
very few exceptions, great lime lovers. 
Like a poor stony soil, but care should 
be exercised that soil is not too loose or 
sandy. While they rather resent too much 
moisture around the crown and foliage, 
they do require it at the roots. A top¬ 
dressing of stone chips several times a 
year is beneficial.
