NATIVE AMERICAN ALPINES 
Here is a check list of 300 of the plants I regularly collect, Wherever 
identical Latin nemes are found, thoy refer to these samo plants. Common names 
(page 12) are.frequently local and may apply to different plants in different sec- 
tions of the country. If you don't know what you want, tell me what you like. 
These plants are’ scattered over parts of three states: Montana, northern Idaho, and 
northern Wyoming. Some will be under snow until late July. Some vary from year to 
year in abundance and some are hard to finds I know my plants and where they grow 
and will-do my best to please you; but often your order cannot bé shipped immediately
