PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 
Our 1938 catalogue comes to you as our personal greeting to 
friends old and new. Whenever it is possible, we would be much 
pleased to have you call at our gardens, where there is always 
something interesting to be seen. We realize how impossible it is 
to adequately describe the many plants which we grow, in the 
small compass of our catalogue. Our gardens are situated on a 
paved road, one half block east of the new Portland-Oregon City 
highway, which is one block south of the interurban crossing at 
Jennings Lodge. 
If you live too far away to drop in on us, try visiting by letter. 
We are always glad to receive letters, and are pleased to answer 
all questions to the best of our ability. We grow a great many 
choice plants in quantity too small to list in the catalogue. If you 
are interested in any particular type of plant, write us about it. 
We may be able to supply your needs. 
After having tried several experiments in the make-up of our 
catalogue, we have decided that it is the simplest and most satis¬ 
factory to list all items alphabetically, rather than to make dif¬ 
ferent sections for new introductions, shrubs, etc.; so we have 
made no separate section except for the irises. We have been 
able to add quite a number of fine new plants to this year’s cata¬ 
logue, but in some cases we have found it necessary to withdraw 
plants in order to increase our stock. We have not found it pos¬ 
sible to include cultural directions, but this year we have ap¬ 
pended a simple key. S' indicates a sunny situation; Sh means 
shade is required; S-sh means semi-shad©; B means that a plant 
is bulbous. 
We have become very much intereseted in dwarf evergreens 
in the last few years, and are accumulating a good stock of these 
slow growing miniature trees. (They are especially suitable for 
rock garden use, as they grow very slowly and, once established, 
they require very little attention.) 
It is rather a problem to find suitable low growing shrubs for 
the rock garden, but we are happy to say that we have a really 
fine collection of them which includes the rare Kalmiopsis Leachi- 
ana, dwarf brooms of many kinds, dwarf rhododendrons, low 
growing heathers and many other miniature shrubs. 
In addition to the dwarf evergreens and shrubs, we have an 
unusually complete collection of flowering onions, campanulas, 
saxifrages. We also have a fine variety of thymes, micromerias, 
teucriums and other aromatic plants which will prove a welcome 
addition to the scented garden.
