attention, as we have one of the largest collections of iris species 
in the United States. They are very varied in requirements, and 
in height and style. Although the tall bearded irises are out of 
place in the rock garden, there are many small species which 
flourish there, and will add beauty and variety to it. 
We are very sorry, but we do not have a seed list this year. 
Due to a serious illness in the family, it was impossible to gather 
most of the seeds, so that we have too few on hand to make a 
listing advisable. We hope to have better luck next year, and 
Intend to issue our seed list, as usual. 
We have been able to add quite a number of new plants to 
this year’s catalog, but in some cases we have found it necessary 
to withdraw plants in order to increase our stock. We have 
become very much Interested in dwarf evergreens, and are 
accumulating a good stock of these miniature trees. They are 
especially suited to rock garden use, as they grow very slowly 
and, once established, they require very little attention. 
It is rather a problem to find low growing shrubs suitable 
for the rock garden, but we are happy to say that we have a 
really fine collection of them, which includes the rare Kalmiopsis 
Leachiana, dwarf brooms of many kinds, dwarf rhododendrons, 
low growing heathers and many other small shrubs. We have 
increased the number of varieties of heathers very greatly in the 
last year. We now have about sixty varieties, and although we 
have too little stock of many of them to list at present, we v/ill 
have plants of salable size by fall. If you are interested in the 
heathers, write to us about them and we will advise you as to 
what varieties will be ready for fall delivery. 
In addition to the dwarf evergreens and shrubs, we have an 
unusually complete collection of flowering onions, campanulas, 
and saxifrages. We also have a fine variety of thymes, micro- 
merias, teucriums and other aromatic plants which will provide 
a welcome addition to the scented garden. 
Whenever it is possible, we would like to have you visit our 
garden. We are situated on a paved road one-half block east of 
the four-lane Portland-Oregon City highway. No. 99E. If you are 
approaching Portland from the south, turn to your right at Hull 
Ave. crossing, which is about a mile north of Oregon City. 
If you are coming from Portland, turn to your left one block 
after you pass the interurban grade crossing at Jennings Lodge. 
If you become confused, ask anybody in the neighborhood. We 
have been here twenty-five years. We live at the garden, so there 
is almost sure to be someone to wlcome you, no matter what 
time of day you chance to come. 
If you live too far away to drop in on us, try visiting by 
letter. We are always glad to get letters, and are pleased to 
answer all questions to the best of our ability. We grow a great 
many choice plants in quantity too small to list in the catalog. 
If you are interested in any particular type of plant, write us 
about it. We may be able to supply your needs.
