Dear All

Ken Aslet was in charge of the rock garden and alpine house at the RHS
Garden at Wisley. his knowledge of plants was outstanding and in
addition he was a great person with whom to talk. He was there at the
time I was a student there in 1955, Francis Hanger was then the Curator
and Frank Knight the Director. Now all these great people and great
horticulturists have passed away. Cheers, John E. Bryan
