3~Ea/i^ij ^luni and Oflp ine (Plant S eeds 
Several years of experience and observation have proven to us 
beyond a doubt that seeds of Hardy Plants and Rock Plants pro¬ 
duced under American climatic conditions germinate better and are 
superior in every way over imported seeds. This fact has been so 
forcefully brought home to us that wherever possible we harvest 
our own seeds at Wayside Gardens for the propagation of our 
stocks. The great variety of plants grown by us (we can say with¬ 
out boasting that our collection of p'ants is the greatest ever 
brought together in one nursery in America) makes it possible for 
us to offer also a most complete collection of American grown 
Hardy Plant and Rock Plant Seeds. 
Many more varieties could be added to the list presented here, 
but we have omitted them because they are too difficult to handle 
for the amateur. The selection offered should give no great trouble 
to anyone who will be careful, but we cannot and do not give any 
guarantee as to results, knowing only too well that it requires more 
time, patience and care to raise hardy plants and rock plants from 
seeds than a great many people are willing to give it. If, however, 
it is proven that failure is due to the seeds, we will replace them 
with others, without charge. 
(Packets contain liberal quantities of seed) 
Plants preceded by one star are rock plants but large enough to 
be grown on the margin of the hardy border, as well as in the rock 
garden. 
Plants preceded by two stars should be grown in the rock garden 
only.
