We present herewith our 1949-50 catalog 
for your approval. Our business is grow- 
ing, thanks to you, our customers and 
friends. We also want to thank you for the 
letters of praise you have sent us. Incident- 
ally, our tamily is growing, too, along with 
our business. 
We have added to our list this year, quite 
a few more hardy perennials. Many of 
these are rare items. 
Our specialty, as always, still is native 
plants. 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.
