A POINT WORTH REMEMBERING 
A plant does not necessarily have to be exxpensive to be 
beautiful, but must of necessity be priced according to 
the cost of production. This production cost varies great¬ 
ly in different localities, and in favored climates, such as 
we enjoy, is, in some instances, less than half that of our 
less fortunate competitors. We are glads to pass this sav¬ 
ing on to our customers, and ask you to remember that 
each plant has only one Latin name, and will be found 
listed in all catalogs under that name, andi will be found 
the same plant, regardless of price. 
DON’T LET THE WORD ALPINE MISLEAD YOU 
While we grow more than 800 different species of 
Alpine and perennial plants, from all over th world (for 
our local trade), we list only those we believe suited to 
eastern gardens. This includes many plants from high 
altitudes, which have been found to behave very nicely at 
sea level. 
WHAT WE GROW 
While we specialize in plants that are suitable for the 
rock garden, we do not nelect the old border favorites 
and newer novelties, as well as other subjects suited to 
pool-side planting. 
DOUBLE PURPOSE PLANTS 
Flowers you have admired in rock gardens are often 
even more effective when used elsewhere. They are indes- 
pensible for edging walks and beds, and any perennial 
border is greatly enhanced by a sprinkling of well-chosen 
rock plants towards the front of the planting, where 
their low growth and gay flowers give just the needed 
finish. 
THE SIZE OF THE PLANTS WE SHIP 
Our plants are sent out at the age and size to give best 
results when transplanted to your garden, for instance, 
only the new growth of most spreading, or mat-forming 
sorts, is sent out, while some of the slow growing sorts 
are three or four years old before they are ready to ship. 
Tap-rooted plants, such as Columbine, Delphinium and 
Geum are grown from seed, and are ready for sale after 
being grown in the field two or three years. 
Plants are listed alphabetically, regardless of their uses. 
'An (R) designates those that can be used in the rock 
garden, if so desired. 
Unless description specifies otherwise, please understand 
that the preference is for a sunny location.
