«' COLLECTED PLANTS " are those carefully lifted from open woods, ;ind usually 
trimmed before shipping. Our true line is in furnishing strong NURSERY-GROWN 
stock, but to meet a demand for very CHEAP STOCK, we have carefully prepared 
a schedule, and a glance shows the price of COLLECTED or NURSERY-GROWN. 
PLEASE ORDER ACCORDINGLY. 
WE SHIP usually from October i to December i, and from March i to May i, often 
all through the winter, if mild. (PLEASE ORDER EARLY.) 
OUR SHIPMENTS extend over the world, and our PACKING is as nearly perfect as 
is possible. 
LARGE FROST-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- but especially 
about PLANTS— AMERICAN PLANTS— and we may interest you. Our facil- 
ities are broad and our territory large. And REMEMBER, we are the largest 
growers and collectors of HARDY NATIVE ORNAMENTALS EXCLUSIVELY 
in America. 
Soil, Plaotioj and Care of Native Plants. 
The Azaleas, Uhododendrons, and most other plants herein named arc hardy gener- 
ally throughout the United States, even in the North and Northwest, all of our stock 
having stood without injury 20 degrees below zero, and, with proper care in preparation 
of soil and in planting, may be grown successfully. They thrive best in rich, peaty soils 
and partially shaded situations. A good soil can be made by excavating a to 3 feet 
of the surface, and tilling with equal parts of good leaf-mold or other decayed vege- 
table matter and surface loam, with one-tenth or more of sharp sand. Swamp muck or 
field sod may housed. Mulching (spent tan, moss, leaves, hay, etc.,) is ahvays useful, 
and is necessary where the ground is very dry. Lime, in lar^e quantities, in any 
form, is fatal to Uhododendrons, Azaleas and ericaceous plants in general. As a rule, 
give the plants a deep soil, with plenty of well-decayed vegetable food and good drainage, 
and the results will be satisfactory. 
Our Location, 
At the summit of the Carolina mountains, 3,800 feet toward the clouds, and under the 
shadow of the great Grandfather Mountain, insures long, cool summers and moderate 
winters, which are very favorable to the growth of these beautiful native ornamentals, 
and produce a Hardy stock— an important point with Northern planters. 
For years the Highlands Nursery has been growing and pushing forward native 
plants exclusively, and it is extremely gratifying to us to be made aware of 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 each year we can better 
serve our patrons.
