FERNDALE NURSERY—ASKOV, MINNESOTA, 1938 
Perennials 
Wild Flowers, Rock Garden Plants 
In selecting plants offered in this list, two objects have been kept 
constantly in mind. First—That the plants have merit and are worthy of 
a place in the garden. Second—That they are strains and varieties of suf¬ 
ficient hardiness to withstand our severe climatic conditions. While these 
plants are of great hardiness and may be depended upon to give satisfactory 
results in the north, they, in common with all northern grown plants, possess 
a vigor well known to horticulturists and will give highly satisfactory results 
when planted further south. 
To aid customers in selecting plants suitable for their particular plant¬ 
ing problems, we use the following index. 
—*—Wild plants. 
—S—Plants requiring shade. 
—R—Plants well adapted for rock garden. 
—O—Preferring open, sunny locations. 
—B—Border plants. 
—T—Trailing plants. 
—C—Suitable for cut flowers. 
—W—Of special merit for wall garden. 
—M—For bog, marsh or moist locations.

25 plants at ten rate less 10%. 
100 plants at ten rate less 20%.
