HARDY NATIVE FERNS 
For shady locations, no class of plants can equal the Ferns. ‘They are easily grown in 
ordinary soils and will often thrive where it is impossible to make flowering plants succeed. 
We handle large quantities of Ferns annually and recommend the following: .

AUTUMN-PLANTED NATIVES BLOOM WELL THE FIRST YEAR 
Nature endows the rare native plants of North Carolina with a degree of hardiness not often 
possessed by the same varieties grown in other parts of the Blue Ridge. Scores of shy wild- 
ings— Violas, Orchids, Lilies, Harebells, Feather Fleece, Closed Gentian—can be furnished 
in quantity from my nurseries in the mountains. Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Laurel, Leucothoe 
and other native shrubs from the ‘Land of the Sky” will carry color and fragrance to 
lowland gardens.
