W E wish to express our appreciation, of the in¬ 
terest 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 
collection 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 en¬ 
courages 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 be¬ 
come better known, the only wonder will be that we 
have deprived ourselves of the pleasure of growing 
them for so long a time. 
We have been obliged to omit a few varieties from 
our list as we could obtain no more and must con¬ 
serve what little stock we now have. But we hope 
to again list them next season and consider our¬ 
selves very fortunate in being able to secure as many 
new varieties as we have. And our list next season 
will be even more complete. 
We specialize on the desirable new and rare 
varieties as the) r 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 guarantee our plants to be true to name and 
description but it is obviously impossible to guar¬ 
antee 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 informa¬ 
tion desired as to the special requirements of any 
plant. 
We shall be glad to receive inquiries for any plants 
not included in this list, as we have small stocks of 
many choice and rare varieties. 
Our lists will be increased constantly and the 
choicer varieties of hardy plants added as fast as we 
determine their hardiness and adaptability to the 
climatic conditions of the United States.
