PLANTING AND CULTURE 
All rock plants require firm planting, good drainage and stone 
chips over the surface of the soil and under the foliage. The rare 
and diminutive types of alpines should have a section to themselves 
to prevent the encroachment of plants of a more robust or rampant 
nature. Most alpines should be cut back after the blooming period 
is past which will ensure a second bloom in many species. While not 
absolutely necessary, a light covering of salt hay should be placed 
over the rock garden in winter in climates where cold frosty winds 
prevail and there is no protecting blanket of snow. In spring a top 
dressing of sand and leaf soil is very beneficial, adding lime for plants 
which require it. 
A CAREFUL PERUSAL OF OUR CATALOGUE WILL 
ENABLE YOU TO MAKE A SELECTION OF PLANTS 
WHICH WILL PRODUCE A PROFUSION OF BLOOM 
AT CERTAIN SEASONS, OR CONTINUOUS BLOOM. 
This catalogue includes only a partial number of the many species 
and varieties of alpine and rock plants which we can supply, and, in 
case you do not find the plants you desire listed, kindly write us your 
requirements.
