HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
The stock offered is field grown and the best we know 
how to produce after many years of experience. Many of 
them are a year older than plants offered in small pots; 
they are also acclimated to outdoor conditions. They are all 
of a size and age to produce a crop of bloom the first year 
after planting. It should be remembered, however, that a 
few plants, such as Lupines and Peonies, either do not blos- 
som at all or do not produce normal blossoms until the sec- 
ond year after planting or until after they have had an 
opportunity to become established in their new home. 
We are always glad to welcome visitors to our gardens 
who are interested in hardy plants or alpines. Our farm is 
loacted on Ridge Road, Route U. S. 104, one mile west of 
Webster Village or two miles east of West Webster. The 
gardens are always open for the convenience of the public. 
| want to take this opportunity to thank our many friends 
who have given us so much encouragement during these 
difficult times, both by repeated orders and by recommend- 
ing our service to their friends. Your encouraging letters 
have been most helpful. By means of honest, faithful effort 
we hope to merit a continuation of your favors.
