Guarantee: .We do not guarantee plants to grow, or pro¬ 
duce results. WE DO guarantee all plants to be in prime 
condition, well packed to reach destination in good order, if 
not unduly delayed in transit. Too many plants are planted 
where they can not succeed, or poorly handled. Too many 
things may happen to them after leaving our hands for us to 
guarantee more than this.. You will find us re^dy to replace 
free, or return purchase money where cause of failure is in 
any way our fault. WE WANT to correct any mistake in 
grade, count or packing. 
SEEDS: We can collect seeds of many of these sorts, if 
ordered before they ripen. We do not collect many sorts to 
store. Some few sorts we do collect. Also in filling orders 
sent in, usually there is a little surplus accumulated. These 
we offer to our customers, or plant them. 
ROCK GARDENS ai*e very popular. They vary so much 
in form, location, etc. that they can use most of the plants we list effectively, by select¬ 
ing the proper location for them. Some thrive in sun, others in shade—dense or open. 
Some need a lot of moisture, others very little, and so on. Some plants succeed al¬ 
most any where. Among these, the ones used most for rock gardens are Campanula 
rotundifolia, Aquilegia candensis, Anemone cylindrica, some Asters, Camassia esculenta, 
Ox Eyed Daisy, Convallaria majalis, Delphinium tricorne, Echinacea purpurea (Tall), 
Dodecatheon media, Eupatorium urticaefolium, both Euphorbias, Geranium maculatum, 
Hypericum cistifolium, Iris pumila, Liatris (Taller), Monarda fistulosa, Monarda di- 
dyma, Oxalis violacca, Pentstemon, Petalostemum. The several Phloxes, Ranunculus, 
Ruellia, Saponaria officinalis, all three of the Silenes, Stylophorum diphyllum, all the 
Ti adescantias, Violets, etc. Many others may be used in rockeries by placing them in 
shade, sun, moist or dry locations, according as their needs require. Wild Plants are 
being used in increasing quantities in rockeries. Try them. Many other Wild Plants 
may be used in special places, where taller plants are indicated, or in very moist places, 
where plants liking moisture would thrive. Many of the Ferns would do well in points 
shaded and moist, if soil is rich and loose.

EXPLANATIONS. 
.To help our customers in making selections, we 
name first, the Botanical names. Next the most usual 
common name. It must bo remembered that common 
names vary with almost each community. Botanical 
name is same every where. Next “Where it Grows" 
(in nature) to help you know where to plant. “Sun- 
Sods" means the plant is found in dense sod in the 
open sun, etc. Next “Color of Flowers." Last, “Time 
of Bloom," to help arrange flowering season. Re¬ 
member time is for this latitude, (40% N.) N. or S. 
of here would vary, according to distance. After the 
price column, we name where we usually secure our stock 
from M. Mich., H. here. I. or Ind. Indiana, etc. Many 
items are secured from several places, as you note. 
Usually Northern sources, though higher, are cheaper, 
for Northern growers.
