PLANT EARLY—as soon as your soil is in a workable 
condition. Early planting- and successful results go hand in 
hand. Press the soil firmly around the roots. 
FOR YOUR ROCK GARDEN, select, plants up to 12 
inches in height. 
USE FERTILIZER ANNUALLY. Plant food should be 
dug into the bed where flowers are planted or are to be 
planted. Well rotted manure is excellent, but should usually 
be supplemented by the addition of some good commercial 
fertilizer. 
SECURE STRONG TWO YEAR, TRANSPLANTED 
FIELD GROWN PLANTS. This size, with very few excep¬ 
tions, is the first essential to garden success. These are the 
kind of plants we grow for you. Do not be satisfied with 
skimpy plants out of a seed bed or distorted, crowded plants 
out of a row which some companies call field grown. 
FOR A WELL LANDSCAPED GARDEN EFFECT, plant 
three or more plants of a kind in a group. Large gardens 
may use a dozen or more of a kind in a group. 
WE OFFER ONLY THE BEST KINDS OF PERENNI¬ 
ALS AND ROCK GARDEN PLANTS. Each year w r e try 
out new varieties of plants and continually discard the 
poorer kinds of plants that we feel are unfit for your gar¬ 
den when they are compared with the better varieties. 
PLANTS WILL BE SHIPPED BY PARCEL POST OR 
EXPRESS at our option, unless specific shipping instruc¬ 
tions are received with order. Transportation charges are 
paid by the customer. We will send you a notice of the 
exact cost of transportation after the plants are sent, pro¬ 
vided we ship by parcel post. 
IF IT IS MORE CONVENIENT, CALL AT OUR 
NURSERY FOR YOUR PLANTS at any time during the 
spring planting season. We are located one and one-hall' 
miles south of Bridgman on the US-12 Highway. 
VISITORS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME at our gardens.
