Native Wild Flowers 
We are listing the Native Wild Flowers 
that do well if planted in the spring. Many 
of the native plants start blooming very 
early in the spring that it is impossible to 
transplant them at that time. Our fall list will 
contain many more favorites such as Blood' 
root, Jack'in'thc'Pulpit, Dutchman’s Breeches, 
Trillium and many others. All of these should 
be planted in the fall for best results. All or' 
deis for Wild Flowers received after April 
15th will be booked for fall delivery.
