Another year has rolled around and here 
is our 1948-49 catalog. We have had a 
nice season, thanks to you, our customers 
and friends. 
We are trying to bring to you, for your 
pleasure and enjoyment, some of the best 
of our native flowers, ferns and shrubs, to- 
gether with a few other items of value for 
your perennial border, rock garden or bog 
garden. When the white men arrived here, 
— to cut the forests, dig the iron ore, plow 
the prairies and drain the bogs —— there was 
a luxuriant growth of these plants. The 
activities of the white men have forced 
many of these plants to more and more in- 
accessible places. We hope to do our small 
bit to aid in their preservation. 
We are always ready to answer questions 
regarding any plants we list, and if we do 
not list the plant you want, we will try to 
get it for you, if possible. 
To help you successfully grow these na- 
tive plants, we are using the following sym- 
bols to denote their general requirements: 
A, acid soil; M, moist soil; L. leafmold; S$, 
shade; O, open or sunny situation.
