SOURCES OF PLANT MATERIALS 



Most of the plants recommended in previous lists are native to 

 the ravines, and, for some reason, native plants are always more difficult 

 to obtain from commercial nurseries than exotic species. All the recom- 

 mended plants are available, however, and it is felt that it is worth the 

 extra effort to locate these species since they have a better chance of 

 establishment in the ravines than more readily available introduced species. 

 The nurseries listed below have been selected because their catalogs indi- 

 cate that they carry some or many of the recommended species. The inclu- 

 sion of a company in the list does not imply any recommendation or endorse- 

 ment of that company or the quality of their merchandise. 



Trees, shrubs, and ground covers . — Local garden centers and nur- 

 series may carry some of the recommended species in stock or can obtain 

 them from wholesale growers. The following nurseries each have available 

 some of the recommended species,
