Oregon Grown 
Hardy Alpines and Border Perennials 
LL OP THE STOCK offered in this catalog is grown on our grounds. Plants are 
exposed to the biting cold east wind which pays us a visit three or four times each winter. 
Varieties, with a few exceptions as noted in the catalog, which cannot withstand the cold 
wind and weather in our gardens, are discarded, as we are growers of HARDY PLANTS. 
Plants grown from cuttings or root divisions are guaranteed to be true to form and 
color. Plants grown from seeds are from seed stocks obtained from the most reliable 
sources, but are not guaranteed as to form and color. 
Location 
Take Multnomah-Maple- 
wood Bus, which will 
take you directly to our 
Gardens—ask the driver. 
Six miles southwest of 
Portland, via Terwilli- 
ger Boulevard to Mult¬ 
nomah. Follow first road 
to your right after you 
have crossed the Mult¬ 
nomah Viaduct to S. W. 
45th Ave. 
We have spent a large sum of money incorporating crushed rock screenings and peat 
moss into our soil. This allows plant to make a stronger root system and that is the most 
important part of a plant. 
Non-Warranty Is Condition of All Sales Made 
On account of there being so many causes for failure over which we 
have no control such as poor or improper soil, unfavorable weather, 
ignorant or careless culture, we can assume no responsibility after 
stock is delivered. 
Risk 
All goods are at purchaser’s risk after they are delivered to the 
forwarding companies and we receive their receipt for the shipment 
in good condition. 
Prices of Plants 
A dozen plants of the same variety or color will be sold at ten times the single 
plant price. For example, plants priced at 25c each will be $2.50 per dozen. 
Three plants of the same variety or color at dozen rate. Special prices on larger 
lots. 
We prepay postage on all orders over $5.00 in Oregon, Washington, Idaho 
and California (excepting on Trees and Shrubs). Others please add 10% for 
points west, and 15% for points east of the Mississippi. All excess money will be 
refunded. 
FIRM PLANTING 
We would specially emphasize the need of firm planting, pressing the soil 
firmly round the roots. Insecure planting is a frequent cause of failure. Frost 
will frequently lift newly planted stock; when this occurs the soil must again be 
firmly pressed around the roots.
