Présentation de l'éditeur

There are nowadays so many gardeners that gardens are growing every year more rare. Every one must have their rock-work, and the very rich are out to purchase the glories of the A lps at so much a yard with all the more contentment if the price be heavy, so that their munificence may be the more admired. Passion for display appears the ruling note in English horticulture of every kind and in every period: we want a show. It is now not so very long since carpet-bedding went out of fashion with a roar of contemptuous execration ;and for a short period we were all for a return to what we spoke of as Nature, but what was merely wobbly anarchy reduced to a high art. But in those days at least the rock garden was a place of plants, and if such a thing existed in ones ground at all, it was not a mere dogs grave to trail Nasturtiums over, but a fabric framed because its owner really wanted to do his best forD ianthus glacialis or Campanula pulla. But now the accursed thing is once more rearing its head, and carpet-bedding is bursting up to life again in the midst of the very rock garden itself, of all places impermissible and improbable.
