This is a first attempt to make anything like a complete listing of the unusual 
plants that I specialize in. Many of these are very rare plants, You will also find 
that some are just hard to get items. A few are more common but are listed for your 
+ convenience. I am hoping later to be able to add many more rare and choice plants to 
this list as I have a number under propagation, I cannot at present include cultural 
directions for all the different plants listed, but you can get a very good idea of 
soil requirements by exaiining the soil that the plants are in on arrival. I use L.H. 
Bailey's "Cyclopedia of Horticulture" for cultural tips and follow it most of the time,
