During early spring', usually from mid-April on through May to early June 
the Nature Trail through our Wild Flower Preserve s interesting with its show 
of blue and yellow violets, Mertens as, Hep,aticas, Trillium, woods Phlox, Lady 
Slippers, shooting stars, w r ild Geranium and many other wild flowers and ferns. 
The Tooles of Garry Nee Dule would be most pleased to have you visit the 
Nursery, the Nature Trail, the Herb Garden, and the Rock and Perennial Gardens 
any time you may find t convenient to call at Garry Nee Dule, which is located 
on Highway 12 just two miles south of Baraboo. 
Each year as people learn to know and love our own w r ild flowers, we see 
less wanton destruction of our native flora, and more desire to truly conserve 
our native landscape. 
Those who have once treasured and nursed a wild flower into bloom in their 
own garden or watched the tender new frond of a fern unfold its beauty under 
their own protection seem ever after more appreciative of plants in the r wild 
haunts, and more, anxious to conserve their beauty for all the world to enjoy. 
In line with this spirit of conservation we are growing as many of our native 
plants in our own nursery each year as we possibly can and each year’s exper¬ 
ience adds to our knowledge of the secrets of the successful propagation of 
new kinds.
