"Collected plants" are those carefully lifted from open woods, and usually trimmed 
before shipping. Our true line is in furnishing strong, nursery-grown stock, but to. 
meet a demand for very cheap stock, wo have carefully prepared a schedule of prices, 
and a glance shows the price of each plant, collected or nursery grown. Fleaae 
order accordingly. 
We ship usually from October 1 to December I, and from March 1 to May 1. Often all 
through the winter, if mild. (Please order early.) 
Our shipments extend over this country and the principal countries of Europe, and our 
packing is nearly perfect. 
Large rrost-Proof Cellar, Packing House and Sheds facilitate prompt shipments, 
especially in winter, and I would ask my customers to bear this advantage in mind. 
Please write us about anything— our mountains, climate, or the World's Pair, but 
especially about plants, native plants, and we may interest you. Our facilities are 
broad and territory large. And remember, we are the largest growers and collectors 
of Hardy Native Ornamentals exclusively in America. 
Soil, Planting and Care of Native Plants. 
The Azaleas, Hliododendrons, and most other plants lierein named are hardy generally 
throughout the United States, and- with proper care in preparation of soil and planting 
may be grown guecessfulty. They thrive best in rich, peaty soils and partially shaded 
situations. A good soil can be made by excavating two to three feet of the surface, and 
filling with equal parts of good leaf-mold or other decayed vegetable matter and sui-faco 
loam, with one-tenth or more of sharp sand. Swamp muck or field sod may be used. 
Mulching (spent tan, moss, leaves, hay, etc.) is always useful, and is necessary where 
the ground is very dry. Lime, in large quantities, any form, is fatal to Rhododendrons, 
Azaleas, and erieaceous plants in general. As a rule, give all plants a deep soil, with 
plenty of well-decayed vegetable food and good drainage, and the results will be satis- 
factory. 
Our Location, 
At the summit of the Carolina mountains, 3,800 feet towards the clouds, and under the 
shadow of the great Grandftither mountain, insures long, cool summers and moderate 
winters, which is very favorable to the growth of these beautiful native ornamentals, and 
produce's a hardy stock— an important point with Northern planters. 
For years the Highlands Nursery has been growing and pushing forward native planU 
exclusively, and it is extremely gratifying to us to be made aware of the rapidly increasing 
demand for them, especially in our own country, showing as it does that a worthy home 
product is appreciated by Americans. Constant additions are being made to our 
already large and varied stock, and our endeavor is that none excel us.
