Hardy Plant and Alpine Plant Seeds 
Several years of experience and observation have proven to us beyond a 
doubt that seeds of Hardy Plants and Rock Plants produced under American 
climatic conditions germinate better and are superior in every way over 
This fact has been so forcefully brought home to us that 
wherever possible we harvest our own seeds at Wayside Gardens for the 
Propagation of our stocks. The great variety of plants grown by us (we can 
say without boasting that our collection of plants is the greatest ever 
brought together in one nursery in America) 
offer also a most complete collection of American grown Hardy Plant and 
imported seeds. 
Rock Plant Seeds. 
Many more varieties could be added to the list presented here, but we 
have omitted them because they are too difficult to handle for the amateur.
