In This Generation Why Shouldn’t We Have Rock-Gardens? 
Hardy Alpines 
or Rock-Plants 
The plants im the following list are hardy perennials which, because of their dwarf growth 
and permanent character, are exceptionally 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.
