Description
Excerpt from Alpine Flowers for English Gardens
Alpine plants fringe the vast fields of snow and ice of the high hills, and at great elevations have often scarcely time to flower and ripen a few seeds before they are again im bedded; while sometimes, if the' previous year's snow has been very heavy, and the present year's sun is weak, numbers of them may remain beneath the surface for more than a year. Enormous areas of ground, inhabited by alpine plants, are every year covered by a deep -bed of snow. Where the tall tree or shrub cannot exist from the intense cold, at deep soft mass of downy snow settles upon these minute plants, like a great cloud-borne quilt, under which 'they rest un tortured by the alternation of frost and biting wind with moist, balmy, and spring-like days.
