“Please read this introduction carefull 
In the composition of this catalogue, I have tried to give you, as 
briefly as possible, enough information to help you succeed with the 
culture of the plants listed. 
In the description of each plant, the height of the foliage is given 
first, then the height of the plant i in bloom. When no mention of exposure 
is given, the plant will grow in full sun: When no mention of soil is 
made, neutral or ordinary rock garden soil will do.. 
All the plants listed are grown and propagated at the nursery, 
from healthy stock. All are hardy and able to withstand the winters of 
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and the Southern Provinces of 
Canada. Only a few species of doubtful hardiness are included, because 
of their usefulness or beauty. Due mention of this is made in the de- 
scription. For your protection, no plant of weedy habits or untidy 
growth has been listed. These may be bought from rock plant dealers 
all along our highways or showered upon you via the neighbor’s 
fence by the basketful. Please remember that the growing of rock 
plants and alpines is not a specialty, but the only business of Mayfair 
Nurseries—that in buying my plants you are acquiring material which 
has been well grown and raised to give you entire satisfaction and thus 
keep me in business. 
The plants are always properly labeled and sent to you out of pots 
with all their roots, wrapped very carefully and packed to withstand 
rough handling and possible delay in transportation. 
May I call your attention to the pot grown natives listed, especially 
CORNUS CANADENSIS, CHIOGENES, DROSERAS, EPIGEA REP- 
ENS, EMPETRUM NIGRUM, FERNS, GENTIANS, HUDSONIA, 
IRISES (western), LINNAEA, PHYLLODOCE, POLYGALA PAUCI- 
FOLIA, PYXIE MOSS, SHORTIA, all plants which seldom transplant 
successfully when collected wild, as you probably have experienced. 
Like the rest of my stock, all of these are grown from cuttings and 
repotted three times. This is the material I sell to Botanical Gardens, 
Arboretums and Landscape Architects and am glad to recommend to 
you.
