Here is our catalog for the Fall 1951- 
Spring 1952 season, listing the best of the 
_ wildflowers, ferns and shrubs of the north- 
ern United States, together with hardy 
perennials, lilies, peonies and Colorado 
spruce. 
Our specialty is native plants. We grow 
more species of native plants than any other 
nursery in Minnesota. We take pride in 
doing our small part to aid in their preser- 
- vation and to acquaint people with some of 
the best of these plants. There was a lux- 
uriant growth of these plants when the 
“pale-face’””’ arrived. He cut the forests, 
plowed the prairies and drained the bogs, 
forcing many of these plants to near extinc- 
tion. Our aim is to propagate these plants in 
nursery beds, thus multiplying them much 
faster than they would do in the wild, and 
producing plants that transplant readily. 
As we have now built up a good stock of 
many items, we have reduced our prices 
on them. 
We welcome your questions regarding 
native plants, and will answer all to the 
best of our ability and knowledge. If we do 
not list the plant you want, we may be able 
to find it for you. 
We have received many letters compli- 
menting our plants and our method of 
packing. We would like to take this means 
of thanking all who have written so kindly. 
We will endeavor to continue to merit such 
confidence. 
Sincerely, 
Mr. and Mrs. Clair Phillips
