MEEHANS’ NURSERIES 
HARDY HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS. 
HARDY GRASSES and FERNS. 
The following list represents a choice selection from an immense collection of 
herbaceous plants which we have established. We are making a general trade 
offer, and we do so with every confidence of appreciation on the part of our 
customers. The stock that we send out will be found well-rooted and strong. Our 
large retail trade demands stock of this kind, and we offer it in limited quantities 
to the trade. 
The list is much abbreviated, as we have perhaps one of the largest collections 
in the United States, and should there be an3’thing desired that is not mentioned, 
we will be glad of the opportunity to make quotations. Without exception, the 
selection we have made below will be found of the best.
