Hardy Perennial Plants 
for Season 1953 
All stock is field grown unless otherwise noted, wild 
flowers, as well as the other perennials. Conservationists 
can buy our wild flowers knowing that they are not 
contributing to the despoilation of any natural area. 
Gardeners can buy knowing the stock will have the 
compact root system of the nursery grown plant instead 
of the rambling root of the collected plant. Only freshly 
dug plants will be used to fill orders. 
All plants are 50c each, 3 of one variety for $1.35, 
10 of one variety for $4.00, except as noted. 
All 35c plants are 90c for 3 — $2.50 for 10 of one kind 
All 40c plants are $1.05 for 3 — $3.00 for 10 of one kind 
All 60c plants are $1.65 for 3 — $5.00 for 10 of one kind 
All 75e¢ plants are $2.00 for 3 — $6.00 for 10 of one kind 
All $1.00 plants are $2.70 for 3 — $8.00 for 10 of one kind 
All $1.50 plants are $4.00 for 3—$12.00 for 10 of one kind 
5 or more of one variety will take the 10 rate. We 
will quote quantity rates to gardeners or landscape 
architects who wish to buy in quantity for landscaping 
or naturalizing. Michigan residents add 3% sales tax. 
All orders of 2.00 or over postpaid in United States. 
Under $2.00 add 25c to help cover postage and packing. 
A certificate of inspection is attached to each shipment. 
We would be pleased to correspond with persons who 
collect seed of native wold flowers or other rare plants. 
Seed should be properly ripened, true to name, fresh 
and from areas where temperature falls below zero. 
Seed wanted for our own use.
