GENTIANS 
The Gentian that should be in every 
garden, no matter how small, is G. septem- 
fida. It is above all the “no trouble” 
Gentian. It is the lazy man’s Gentian 
or one could say the busy man’s. 
If you can grow only one Gentian than 
select this species but there are others 
that one should not overlook. The two 
European species G. acaulis and G. verna, 
with G. cochemirica and G. Loderi and 
G. sino-ornata are very satisfactory species 
to grow. 
Lime is the bogy of the Gentian grower, 
and any trace is usually fatal but a good 
application of leafmould will usually cor- 
rect the condition. 
G. ornata is also an excellent species 
because it is such a compact plant and 
thus suitable for growing in pans in your 
alpine house.

a risk, it is desirable that he should be 
fully aware of what it is necessary for him 
to do to insure life, and the enormous differ- 
erence that is made by choosing to do proper 
planting out. It often happens that the 
rarity or value of a plant makes the in- 
surance of its survival of much greater im- 
portance than quick attainment of maturity, 
and in such cases, it is desirable for the 
planter to realize how he can insure sur- 
vival and how far from ideal our common 
planting practices are.
