Please write us about anything — our mountains, climate or summer resorts, but especially about 
plants, native plants, and we may interest you. Our facilities are broad and territory large. And remem- 
ber, we are the largest growers and collectors of Hardy Native Ornamentals exclusively in this country, and 
our stock this season is especially fine and strong. 
Soil, Planting ar)d Care of Native PlaQts. 
The Azaleas, Rhododendrons, and most other plants herein named are hardy generally throughout the U. S., • 
and with proper care in preparation of soil and planting may be grown successfully. 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 sur- 
face, and filling with equal parts of good leaf-mold or other decayed vegetable matter and surface 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 necessary where the ground is very dry. Lime in any form is fatal to Rhododendrons, 
Azaleas, and ericaceous plants in general. As a rule, give all plants a deep soil, with plenty of well-decayed 
vegetable food and good dranage, and the results will be satisfactory, ' 
Our Locatior), 
At the summit of the Carolina mountains, nearly 4,000 feet towards the clouds, insures long, cool summers 
and moderate winters, which is very favorable to the growth of these beautiful native ornamentals, and produces 
a //a'")' stock — an important point with Northern planters. 
For years the Highlands Nursery has been growing and pushing forward na/i-'e plants exclusively, and it is 
extremely gratifying to us to be made aware of the rapidly-increasing demand for them, especially the past season. 
We anticipate, however, much larger sales, and are prepared with an exceedingly large and fine stock, to which 
constant additions are being made.
