Here is a list of plants I regularly collect, Whenever Identical Latin names — 
are found, they refer to these same plants, Look them up in your own Library. 
Common names (page 12) are frequently local and may apply to different plants in 
different sections of the country. 
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 find. I know these plants and 
where they grow and will do my best to please you but usually your order cannot be 
shipped immediately or all at one time. | 
Photographs of many plants of this region may be found in the Government 
bulletins; Plants of Glacier (507), Yellowstone (352), and Rocky Mt. (25¢) National 
Parks, available from the National Carks Service, Washington, DeC. You should own 
these bulletins. 
I furnish three plants at twice the unit price and strongly urge that your 
orders be not less than this minimum. Hard to get plants must be back ordered 
until available or collected for a service fee, It will help if you suggest 
substitutes that would be acceptable to yous All plants F.O.B. Missoula, Montana.
