Hardy Plant and Alpine Plant Seeds 
Several years of experience and observation have proven to us beyond a 
doubt that seeds of Hardy Plants and Rock Plants produced 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 without boasting that our collection of plants 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. 
A 
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, know- 
ing 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.
