Excerpt from Alpine Plants: A Practical Method for Growing the Rarer and More, Difficult Alpine Flowers
I have been induced to write this little work by the frequent requests which have been made to me for information as to how the rarer Alpines and those which, though not rare, are yet exacting in their requirements should be grown.
The book contains all necessary details as to soil, position, and drainage; the details are the result of long experience in the management of the very large collection of Alpine Plants cultivated in the York Nurseries.
I have tried to confine myself to such plants only as are difficult to establish. Every care has been taken to make the directions here given as clear as possible. I trust that, whatever the book's shortcomings may be, it will nevertheless prove useful to all interested in the culture of Alpine Plants.
