We specialize in growing the better and more unusual varie¬ 
ties of shrubs and perennials. We are constantly adding to our 
collection and have a number of recent introductions in quanti¬ 
ties too small to list. We are glad to show these at any time but 
visitors will ensure the presence of someone familiar with all the 
stock by telephoning for an appointment. 
We are prepared to furnish all kinds of plant material, 
seeds, bulbs, garden supplies and equipment. Our effort is to 
provide good stock at low prices and we put our knowledge of 
growers and specialists at the disposition of our customers.
