Ferns for dark shady places, large 
and small rockeries, also Bog 
Plants, several of which will thrive 
indoors, including the wonderful 
Dionza or Venus Fly Trap, which 
catches insects; dainty Gentians and Lobelias for planting by 
brooksides. 
For twenty-five years we have studied the habits of wild flowers 
and have exactly imitated their natural conditions of growth in 
our nurseries, so that they are preserved here in all their beauty. 
Grown in cold New England, they are perfectly hardy. 
Autumn is a good time to plant a wild garden. Let us help you in your selection. 
In addition to wild flowers, we grow Hardy Perennials, including the old 
garden sorts, like Foxgloves, Larkspurs, Lilies, garden Heliotrope, etc. 
We also grow the best Shrubs suited for this climate, including several adapted 
for dark, shady places; several are particularly useful in hedgework, like Japanese Berberis, 
Rosa rugosa and California Privet.
