NUMERALS BEFORE THE NAMES indicate, first 
digit, the class of plant listed, whether a succulent, 
a bulb, an herbaceous perennial, a tree, or the like. 
Second digit indicates treatment and relative hardi¬ 
ness. J'ull and detailed explanation of the nu¬ 
merals is given on catalog page one. The numerals 
are for your convenience in locating quickly listings 
of species suitable for a particular use or place. Thus 
if you were looking for tender succulents, you would 
watch for listings marked 45 ; if for hardy herbace¬ 
ous perennials, for numerals 21 ; if for bulbs to be 
grown in summer garden and dug and stored in fall, 
then look for 33 ; if for hardy shrub seeds, then watch 
for combination 51 ; and so for the many other 
classifications that are possible. 
Listings of quick annual flowers are not indicated 
by preceding numerals, but are marked instead by a 
star (*) before the name.
