We specialize in the growing of Herbaceous Perenni¬ 
als and know from comparison that few growers 
compete with us in this particular field. We are con¬ 
stantly testing new introductions and offer our cus¬ 
tomers those that have proven worthwhile. 
Every gardener depends on perennial plants as the 
basic planting of the garden for they bloom and make 
the landscape or border a charm'ng picture from the 
first warm days of spring until frost. Every success¬ 
ful rock garden contains many varieties of the low 
growing perennials; and there are many with ever¬ 
green foilage that are attractive all through the 
winter. Most native plants make splendid rock garden 
specimens and are highly prized for their earliness of 
bloom. We highly recommend the low growing peren¬ 
nials as desirable for cemetery plantings as they make 
a nice appearance for a much lenger time and require 
less care than annual bedding plants. 
Our plants are good sturdy plants, having been 
transplanted into spacious rows in open fields and 
grown one or more years in so Is best suited for strong 
root development. We dig plants fresh for each ordec 
as we do not ship out of storage. 
Our descriptions of plants are as accurate and 
honest as we can make them. We use utmost care in 
writing and checking these descriptions and offer this 
catalog to you as sincere and more dependable than 
illustrations. We have endeavored to give all the in¬ 
formation necessary to help in making your selections 
and in the culture of these plants. 
We GUARANTEE the quality of our p’ants to please 
you and all shipments to reach you in good condition. 
This has always been our policy and a most satisfact¬ 
ory practice that assures you good plants and works 
no hardship on us, as we seldom have an occasion to 
make an adjustment. Your kind letters commending 
the plants and packing have been most gratifying to us. 
Your orders will be acknowledged at once and will 
receive careful attention. Shipments will be made 
promptly during the planting season unless a pre¬ 
ferred shipping date is given. We solicit your early 
orders and shipment will be made at proper plant¬ 
ing time.
