NATIVE FERNS AND FLOWERS 
of Wisconsin and the Middle West 
All of the ferns are adapted to spring as well as fall planting. The larger 
growing kinds should be ordered as early as possible before heavy growth has started. 
While most of the wild flowers will transplant readily in the spring, some flower 
so early that they may have finished their flowering season before they are sent to 
you. Late orders for such varieties as Mertensias, Trilliums, Erythroniums and others 
may have to be held till they are dormant. 
Space does not permit extended descriptions or cultural directions for the many 
different varieties offered. To insure success with these friends of field and forest, 
study some of the interesting books on wild flowers now available.
