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 en¬ 
croachment 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.
