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. 
.ommon names (page 12) are freauently local and may apELy to dif*erent 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 wntil 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 Gomecmners 
bulletins; Plants of Glacier (507), Yellowstone (352), and Rocky Mt, (25¢) National 
Parks, available from the National -arks Service, Washington, D.C. 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 minimm,. Hard to get plants must be back ordered 
until available or cotlected for a service fee, It will help if you suggest 
substitutes that would be acceptable to you. All plants F.O.B. Missoula, Montana.
