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. 
Our stock is all FIELD GROWN, ensuring the strong¬ 
est, healthiest' constitution possible; the forerunner of certain 
success when transplanted to your garden. We do not advo¬ 
cate pot grown plants for anything but the greenhouse. 
We will ship all plants by Express, customers to pay the 
charges, unless otherwise requested. If desiring shipment by 
PARCEL POST, add 10 per cent extra for points East of 
the Mississippi; 20 per cent extra for points West of the 
Mississippi. 
We are anxious to give all of our customers the best 
service possible, both as to delivery and quality of stock, 
and always ready to consider any reasonable request. 
We will replace any goods lost or damaged in transit but 
report of same must be made immediately.
