This copy of Vick’s catalogue is dedicated to 
the late Albert F. W. Vick, who passed away on 
July 27, 1944. 
Mr. Vick is the true “Father of Wildgardens”. 
His keen interest in Natural Beauty and his love for 
wild plants resulted in the organization of “Vick’s 
Wildgardens”. He did this so that others might enjoy 
more fully, on their own property, the charm of the 
wild plants God created. 
His association with his friends, nurserymen, and 
tree men, will long be remembered. 
Mr. Vick is succeeded by his son Albert F. W. 
Vick, Jr., who is now continuing this interesting work.
