WAYSIDE Hardy Plant and Alpine Plant Seeds 
Several years of experience and the observing of results have 
proven to us beyond a doubt that seeds of Hardy Plants and Rock 
Plants produced under the most favorable American climatic condi' 
tions germinate better and are superior in every way over imported 
seeds. This fact has been so forcefully brought home to us that 
wherever possible we harvest our own seeds at Wayside Gardens for 
the propagation of our stocks. The great variety of plants grown by 
us (we can say without boasting that our collection of plants is the 
greatest ever brought together in one nursery in America) makes it 
possible for us to also offer a most complete collection of all Amer¬ 
ican grown seeds of Hardy Plants and Rock Plants. 
Many more varieties could be added to the list presented here, 
but we have omitted them because they are too difficult to handle 
for the amateur. The selection offered should give no great trouble 
to anyone who will be careful, but we cannot and do not give any 
guarantee as to results, knowing only too well that it requires more 
time, patience and care to raise hardy plants and rock plants from 
seeds than a great many people are willing to give. If, however, it 
is proven that failure is due to the seeds, we will replace them with 
others, without charge. 
(Packets contain liberal quantities of seed) 
Plants preceded by one star are rock plants but large enough to 
be grown on the margin of the hardy border, as well as in the rock 
garden. 
Plants preceded by two stars should be grown in the rock garden 
only.
