Wild and Rock Garden Plants. 
In selecting plants offered in this list, two objects have been held con¬ 
stantly in view. First—That the plants have merit and are worthy of a place 
in the garden. Second—That they are strains and varieties of sufficient 
hardiness to withstand our severe climatic conditions. While these plants 
are of great hardiness and may be depended upon to give satisfactory results 
in the north, they possess a vigor, well known to horticulturists, and will 
give highly satisfactory results when planted further south. * 
To aid our customers in selecting plants suitable for their particular 
planting problem, we use the following index. 
—S—Plants requiring some shade. 
—R—Plants well adapted for rock gardens. 
—O—Prefering sunny locations. 
—B—Border plants. i 
—T—Trailing plantsi v, 
—C—Suitable for cut-flowers.
