Ornamental Stock 
Five years ago we conceived the idea of offer- 
ing the gardening public small plants at a reason- 
able price. During this time we have been con- 
vinced that there was a real need for this service. 
Orders have shown a material increase each 
year and that is the reason we are again offering 
Little Plants for Little Money 
The value of a plant is not determined by its size, in- 
variably. Of course, it may be so small as to be of no value 
whatever. Many of us want a plant but cannot or do not 
want to pay as much for it as a large one will cost, but are 
perfectly willing, and sometimes rather, wait for it to grow if 
we can get a small one for less money. 
This is our thought in preparing this catalog. You will 
find many new and rare plants offered herein that are impos- 
sible to get in large sizes, and many more that are more 
plentiful in the larger sizes but at a much higher price than 
we are asking for these smaller ones. 
We are growing in our nursery larger plants than we are 
offering of a good many varieties. If interested in these larger 
plants tell us what you want, we may have it.
