We are featuring in this catalogue plants that 
have proven satisfactory and hardy in southern 
Ohio. Our climate is a very trying one for hardy 
plants as they must acclimatize themselves to 
our severe seasonal changes and temperatures. 
In early summer we have as a rule hot wet 
weather followed later by hot dry conditions. 
Fall and spring are ideal as a rule. Winter is a 
seasons of extremes of temperature. Usually 
open and without any snow one day will find the 
thermometer at 50° F. with the ground wet and 
plants producing new growth; the next may find 
a 50° drop in temperature accompanied by a hot 
drying sun. Plants that can endure summer’s 
hot wet plant rotting spells and winter’s heaving 
and burning and heaving are to be classed among 
the hardiest to be obtained. 
Besides the plants listed we are constantly 
trying out new things. Many of these are of 
great garden merit, and we have a few of them 
to offer from time to time. Our stock of these 
items is so limited that we cannot catalog them. 
If you can possibly do so we invite you to vis¬ 
it the nursery to select the plants you might 
care for and to see them dug freshly for your 
order. 
We are always pleased to have different gar¬ 
den clubs visit us. We have a large rock garden 
and perennial border exhibiting our plants. 
These are open to the public at all times.
