UPTON GARDENS 
Many alpine seeds germinate well only after they have been 
subjected to frost, and a snow-covering works wonders. 
In introducing the rare plants from the Colorado Rockies, we 
offer only species of distinct horticultural value. Many requests 
come for plants (usually negligible cousins of desirable species) of 
botanical rather than of aesthetic interest. These we will endeavor 
to collect if required for botanical collections. Duplicate specimens 
from our herbarium are available, also photographs of many species. 
For identification we consult: New Manual of Botany of the 
Central Rocky Mountains by Coulter & Nelson; Rocky Mountain 
Flowers by Clements & Clements; Flora of Colorado by P. A. 
Rydberg. 
The plants we offer are from our nursery. We can supply collected 
plants at lower prices, but we do not recommend them. 
Seed offered is subject to crop. Number of seeds per packet is 
determined by rarity of variety; some packets contain 200 seeds, 
some 5.
