these temperature conditions, together with an abundant rainfall, combine to make thrifty 
and absolutely hardy stock which cannot be produced at lower elevations. 
We are glad to give any information on native plants, and invite correspondence from 
all interested and intending planters, but necessarily in a brief way and to the point. 
Please note Highlands Nursery is nearly 4,000 feet elevation in the high Caro¬ 
lina Mountains, where the stock is grown, while our office address is as below, to which 
all communications must be addressed.
