INTRODUCTION 
Our new catalogue lists most of the plants in our old one, 
and many new items not previously offered by us. Here also 
you will find a number of new hybrid introductions and rare 
species that you will not be able to find in any other catalogue 
in the United States. 
Remember that growing Rock Plants and Alpines is not a 
specialty, but the only business of Mayfair Nurseries. Each 
plant listed is perfectly adaptable to a permanent home in your 
Rock Garden. All are grown and propagated from healthy stock, 
at the nursery. All are hardy as far north as the Southern Pro- 
vinces of Canada, except for a few species which are included 
for their usefulness or beauty. Special note is made in the des- 
cription of such plants requiring winter protection. Plants of 
weedy habits or untidy growth have not been listed, to keep you 
from getting undesirable pests. In compiling this catalogue we 
have tried to offer you the best of the good and none of the bad. 
In the description of each plant, the hight of the foliage is 
given first, then the hight of the plant in bloom. This is not 
necessarily the size of the plant you will receive, but of one that 
has reached maturity. When no mention of exposure is given, 
the plant will grow in full sun. When no mention of soil is 
given, ordinary garden loam will do. 
Every plant leaving the nursery is properly labeled and ac- 
companied by cultural directions. They are sent to you out 3” 
or 4” pots, with all their roots, wrapped very carefully and 
packed to withstand rough handling and possible delay in trans- 
portation. 
None of our difficult natives listed, are collected from the 
wild and sent to you as is, with little possible chance of survival, 
but are raised from cuttings or divisions and are well established 
in pots after two or three repottings, you get them.
