Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of My Rock Garden During the last quarter of a century Alpine Gardens have increased in number to a great extent, and the cultivation of Alpine and herbaceous plants has received much more attention than before. This is probably due to the many attractive features in connection therewith, both in the style of gardening and in the plants themselves. In this little book on the construction and the inhabitants of his Alpine garden the author gives a vivid idea of the use to which even a small garden may be put. He shows how in the space of a few square yards it is possible and easy to build, with any available stone, or other material, an attractive rockery, and on this to grow a large number of interesting and beautiful plants. In the chapter on construction there is a mass of useful information that would be very helpful to anyone who contemplates laying out his garden in this manner.

Book Description
Excerpt from My Rock-Garden Nowadays it is, indeed, becoming for a new 'gardening book to slink into the world under cover of an apology; and it had been my intention to plead, in excuse, that this volume of mine held no presumptuous notion of giving help to any rival gardener (for all true gardeners are rivals). I see, however, that such a plea would at once make publication a mere impertinence. There fore I will frankly hope that some of my readers may consider this book's existence justified by the help it gives them. But if some are inclined to resent the appearance of yet another work on gardening, others may well cavil, I fear, at its confessed incompleteness and inadequacy. To these I plead that only the most stringent considerations of 'space could have compelled the many omissions that they will mark in my pages. I had originally dealt faithfully with all my plants, and if any reader now vainly search this book for a detailed treatment of Aethionema, Silene, Lychnis, Veronica, and many another treasure, let him blame not me, but the pitiless blue pencil that made such a massacre of the innocents. Faced by cruel alternatives, I chose rather. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Rock Garden IN the whole history of gardening there has never been soimuch interest taken in the cultivation of alpines as there is to-day. Not very many years ago it was quite exceptional to find a rock garden worthy of the name in any but the largest of our private gardens. To-day, however, a garden of any appreciable dimensions is not considered complete unless it contains a portion devoted to the cultivation of alpines.

Book Description
Excerpt from Rock's Garden Book for 1930 Forerunners of a distinct new race. The new double or duplex types are the latest developments among Sweet Peas. For some time there has been a tendency for some of the single types to produce two, three or four standards and also several wings, and now after careful breeding, te - selections, -etc by one of America's leading Sweet Pea specialists, we have these lovely two double types. The Duplex sorts when cut give a most beautiful effect. They require only about half as many cut stems to obtain the same effect as the single types.

Book Description
Excerpt from The English Rock-Garden, Vol. 2 Nama Rockrothii, from California, has hairy foliage and white or purplish funnels of flowers in terminal heads on stems of 7 or 8 inches. It should be quite easy in open cool soil. Nananthea perpusilla, a very minutely dwarf and rather worthless little microscopic-flowered Composite from Colorado. Narcissus. - The large daffodils are unfitted for the rock-garden, less on account of their stature, indeed, than because they die so untidily, in flopping masses of yellow decay. For its higher reaches, however, if it be large enough in scale, they look superb, and their decadence is not noticed (still less if enshrouded by degrees in the developing leafage of such a thing as Potentilla nepalensis Willmottiae). But the smaller daffodils have their place everywhere in the foreground, and the most delicate of them rejoice in the conditions of the water-bed (and, indeed, they all like a generous supply of moisture at the root while growing). The most exquisite of all, the silver-pale N. Bulbocodium monophyllus, should have, of course, the daintiest corner, in soil almost wholly sandy, and very damp in spring, under the lee of a hot rock; and over the whole garden may be peppered the minute charm of N. minimus, a real miniature golden-trumpet daffodil of 2 inches or less, that is never in the way; and, for the rest, are there not elaborate catalogues consecrated entirely to their worship, their needs, their beauties, and their preposterous prices? Nardosmia fragrans is no more than Tussilago fragrans of former days; and N. frigida is, accordingly, hardly less close itself to the giant Coltsfoots, so valuable for their sweet and dowdy blooms in winter.
