READ CAREFULLY 
LL OF THE STOCK offered in this catalog 
is grown on our grounds. Plants are exposed 
to the biting cold east wind which pays us a 
visit three or four times each winter. Varie¬ 
ties, with a few exceptions as noted in the 
catalog, which cannot withstand the cold wind and 
weather in our gardens, are discarded, as we are growers 
of HARDY PLANTS. 
Plants grown from cuttings or root divisions are guar¬ 
anteed to be true to form and color. Plants grown from 
seeds are from seed stocks obtained from the most reli¬ 
able sources, but are not guaranteed as to form and color. 
Take Multnomah - Maplewood Bus at Central Stage 
Depot. This will take you directly to our gardens—ask 
the driver. Six miles southwest of Portland, via Terwilli- 
ger Boulevard to Multnomah Station, first road to your 
right after crossing Multnomah viaduct, V 2 raile west of 
Multnomah Station. 
We have spent a large sum of money incorporating 
crushed rock screenings and peat moss into our soil. This 
allows plants to make a stronger root system and that is 
the most important part of a plant.
