WHY KELSEY’S NATIVE PLANTS ARE SO SUCCESSFUL 
No small part of our success is due to the fact that these wild plants have been carefully trans¬ 
planted and made ready for safe planting by the buyer, and the use of cheap “collected stock," 
lately so freely exploited by imitators, discouraged. The best and not the cheapest has been my 
persistent aim, and thousands of the finest estates and public grounds owe their charm and beauty 
to this fact. Besides this, nowhere else in America is found such a wealth of beautiful, wild, flowering 
shrubs and plants as in the Carolina mountains, and here soil and climate combine to make ideal 
conditions for growing not realized elsewhere on the continent.
