In This Generation Why Shouldn’t We Have Rock-Gardens ? 
Hardy Alpines or Rock-Plants 
The plants in the following list are hardy perennials which, because of their dwarf growth and permanent character, are excep¬ 
tionally well suited for growing in rock-gardens. Among them are included some choice alpine plants which demand a rock-garden 
situation in which to flourish. However, most of them can be grown in open borders, chiefly as edgings, or in cracks and crevices of 
steps, walks, and walls.
