COLLECTED FROM THEIR NATIVE HAUNTS by 
We HOPEDALE NURSERIES. 
TO OUR EVER INCREASING NUMBER OF 
FRIENDS WHO LOVE WILD FLOWERS , 
GREETING — 
EW of you appreciate the task getting out this little list has 
been. We have been working at it for more than a year and 
yet do not feel satisfied with it. It is much better than our 
last general list issued in 1914. Several sorts developing to 
be annuals are dropped. Others, too scarce to secure with any 
degree of certainty are also omitted. Many botanical errors 
have been corrected. A considerable number of sorts have 
been added, making the list much more complete than any we 
have ever issued. We are adding the color of flower and 
approximate time of bloom, in this latitude. W e trust this will further aid our 
customers in making selections. 
We want to thank you for the ever increasing patronage we are enjoying. 
Last year we got out more than a million and a quarter of W ild Plants. \\ eshall 
continue in our effort to render the best of service and shall hope for a continuance 
of your business. 
TERMS:—Prices named are for cash, but ten days will be allowed to responsible parties. If 
longer time is wanted kindly arrange for it that we may know what to count on. No additional 
charge for boxing or delivering to carriers. If plants are shinned out of season requiring special 
packing to ptotect tops we charge extra for this at the cost of doing it. Should accounts run over 
30 days from date of invoice, we ask 6 per cent interest from date of invoice. Stock travels at 
purchaser’s risk and expense. 
WE ARE COLLECTORS, primarily. Some sorts we aim to store sufficient for orders out of 
season. Some sorts we grow in favorable locations for out of season orders, and still other sorts 
may be secured out of season from located beds or from old tops. Prices named are for stock 
collected in season. We may be forced to have additional price out of season. 
We have collectors at sixty or more points in the United States and can secure almost any 
native plant or seed if we are given time to locate It. 
SEEDS-—If we have the order early enough we can collect seeds of most of the plants on this 
list at reasonable prices. Some of them we collect regularly-our business In native seed running 
from one to forty tons annually. 4 . , . 
The items relative to position plants are found in nature, their color and season, are as nearly 
correct as our space would allow us to put them for this latitude. Other latitudes vary from this, 
especially in season. 
The column “Where Native” indicates where we USUALLY secure one stock in this item. 
If particular where stock comes from, state so. We secure some items at many stations. Others 
only at one point. Most of them can be shipped from several poiuts IN SEASON. Most small lots 
are sent from here. Often we can save time and cost in sending several of the items directly from 
collectors of them. We reserve the privelege of doing this. 
STATE HOW YOU WANT ITEMS SENT:—By far the greater part goes by Express, through 
billing, general plant special rates, which on light shipments are less than freight usually. In event 
you do not tell us how to ship, we exercise our best judgment, but assume no risk. If VERY 
LARGE QUANTITIES are wanted write for special quotations on your wants. 
ORDER EARLY:—We have a better chance to get the stock in proper season. You get 
better plants and service. 
MISTAKES:—We make them-so do our collectors. Most large lots are shipped DIRECTLY 
from point of collection. If you receive anyt hing from our collectors below amount billed or grade, 
advise us of particulars and we will adjust it.
