CHOICE WILD PLANTS 
Collected From Their Native Haunts, Or Grown By 
HOPEDALE NURSERIES 
J. W. Griesemer, Prop. Hopedale, Ill. 
Our collectors are located advantageously and can secure almost any native plant 
for us, if we have the order in time to locate and get the plants. 
We are members of the American Nurserymen’s Ass’n., Ill. State Nurserymen’s 
Ass’n., Ill. State Horticultural Society, National Plant Growers Ass’n., and other allied 
societies. 
We operate a general nursery of over 40 acres in actual nurseries, have extensive 
shaded beds to grow shade plants, and have been in the business here nearly 35 years. 
From a meagre beginning, our annual turnover has grown to $20,000.00. We are not 
unknown in the trade, and number among our Wild Plant Customers, many — very . 
many nationally known men and women. Wild Plants are more and more in demand 
with the more cultured. It is a growing business. 
It is necessary to revise our list again, account of the changing source of supply in 
both sorts and quantities. Many items we are able to lower in price, but on more of 
them we had to raise the price a little, 
owing to scarceness, or greater distance we 
must go to get them, etc. A few items we 
had to drop out of our list, account of 
scarceness and uncertainty of getting them. 
We have added many more, though, and 
this may interest some of our old customers, 
as well as new. 
I want to thank you for the splendid 
business in the past, and tell you how very 
much I enjoy doing business with you. Lov¬ 
ers of Wild Plants are surely a mighty fine 
lot of people. So long as my health per¬ 
mits (I am 65 years ‘y° un g’)» I hope to con¬ 
tinue doing business with you, to our mutual 
benefit and pleasure.
