Huntington’s Dependable Alpine and Perennial Seeds 
• In the following list of unusual and rare alpine and perennial seeds are those varieties that are 
recommended for the American garden. 
This is the most complete list of fine seeds offered in the United States, and we call especial 
attention to the selected strains of the favorite established varieties. 
From this list of dependable seeds you will be able to choose varieties that will give your garden 
a distinctiveness and charm obtainable in no other way. There are many items that we list that can 
be procured from no other source in this country. 
Climatic conditions are favorable for the growing of these splendid alpines and perennials in 
this country but many of them will not seed, or do not seed sufficiently upon our Nursery. These 
items we procure from widely separated sections of the world. 
Because we secure these seeds from reliable collectors and originators in the United States, 
Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa we cannot be certain of crop quantities. 
It will enable us to increase our service to you if you will make several additional selections to 
your seed order, taking care of any item of which we may be short due to crop failure. We make 
no substitutions unless authorized to do so by you. When given the permission to substitute, only 
when necessary, we add gratis packets for the favor. 
You will find that these seeds germinate, that they develop into superior quality plants, and that 
you can rely upon them to be dependable. 
QUANTITIES • The value of a pa cket of seeds is not how many seeds are in the packet, but 
how many will you have reach maturity in your garden. You will find that our generous packets 
will produce a high percentage of blooming plants. 
All pa ckets will contain from 100 to 300 seeds except in those cases where the seed is so scarce 
that we must packet them accordingly. Trade packets have three times the number of seeds and in 
many cases will contain a thousand seeds. The generous measure in every instance will contain only 
fresh, high quality seed.
