Something Distinctive for 
Your Garden, Park or Estate 
Between the Rockies and Pacific Coast grow 
many beautiful native shrubs, where mingling 
of species of Coast and Interior has produced 
types inured to hot dry summers and severe 
winters. Some of the finest ornamentals in 
the United States grow wild in this region. 
Wider use of Broad Leafed Evergreens is 
limited by lack of truly hardy types and diffi¬ 
culty in establishing plants. Our special cul¬ 
ture of Western Natives removes these limits. 
Taken from wild beds while dormant and 
given extended dry-garden culture, young 
plants grow vigorous roots and sturdy tops. 
This slow method fits them for shipment and 
replanting under hard conditions where tend¬ 
er plants will not grow, and where moist-cli¬ 
mate types like rhododendron dry up or , 
winter-kill. 
It has taken three years to prove this new 
venture sound and practical Now you may 
confidently plant these fine ornamentals for a 
trifle of our expense. Our plants have medium 
size tops with fine roots. Larger tops are hard 
to establish, but they come quickly from 
vigorous roots. Though unable to guarantee 
growth, we do assure sturdy well-rooted plants 
that should thrive with common garden care. 
Our deliberately slow method limits the pres¬ 
ent available stock. Other native western 
shrubs and trees are now under propagation 
for the future. 
These five thornless ornamentals harmon¬ 
ize with one another, and blend with other 
shrubs and evergreens. The graceful green 
Mountain Myrtle sets off the rugged foliage of 
Oregon Grape, while a perpetual carpet of 
Kinni-kinnick rounds out the evergreen pic¬ 
ture. In summer dress of luxuriant green, 
cream-white plumes of Ocean Spray and rose- i 
colored spikes of Spirea give the taller land¬ 
scape distinctive bloom and beauty from June ■ 
till frost. All these shrubs thrive in shade \ 
and sunlight, and none is exacting as to soil, 
location or care. Many a modest garden and 
large estate may he brightened and beautified 
by these hardy western natives.
