W E wish to express our appreciation of the interest 
shown by garden lovers in the pioneer work we 
are doing in this country. It is a good deal of 
an undertaking to bring to the public a collec¬ 
tion of choice varieties which are little known 
by the majority of gardeners. But the interest 
is great and the desire to learn very sincere, 
which encourages us to forge ahead and give the people in our 
own America the opportunity to add to their gardens the 
choicest of the European gems. And as they become better 
known, the only wonder will be that we have deprived our¬ 
selves of the pleasure of growing them for so long a time. 
We specialize on the desirable new and rare varieties as 
they make their appearance abroad or in this country and our 
plants are strong, vigorous stock and, grown in our trying 
climate, we can assure their hardiness anywhere. 
We are carrying a large stock of the choicest rock plants 
and send out stock that is sturdy and with good roots, the 
prime requisite with any plant. But please remember they 
are not hollyhocks and must of necessity be small, when 
their full stature is often only two to four inches. 
We guarantee our plants to be true to name and descrip¬ 
tion, but it is obviously impossible to guarantee they will 
grow after leaving our hands. We are always glad, however, 
to give all the assistance possible to our patrons by giving 
them any information desired as to the special requirements 
of any plant. 
Any damage in transit or any shortage must be reported 
immediately to receive consideration. 
We shall be glad to receive inquiries for any plants not in¬ 
cluded in this list, as we have small stocks of many choice 
and rare varieties.

account with us. In that case, please send financial referen¬ 
ces.
