A NOTE TO NEW CUSTOMERS: The plants on the following list are all hardy in Pennsylvania without winter protection. They are 
dug to order with as much earth left on them as they will hold and consequently transplant with a minimum of setback. Most of them 
are grown from seed and twice transplanted insuring a fine root system and long life expectancy, 
As you see we have a wide assortment of rockplants with special emphasis on primulas and gentians. Though called “rockplants” for lack 
of a better term, there are many uses for them besides in rock gardens. There are woodland, waterside and meadow as well as mountain 
species. Suggested additional uses for many of them are as ground covers, edging plants, pavement, step and wall plants. There is a 
large selection for shade as well as for sun, and there are some that can be used as perennial border plants, 
If a large quantity is wanted it is advisable to order a day or two ahead and your order will then be ready for you when you call, packed 
carefully in cartons, ready te put into your car. 
The nursery is on Pa. Route 663, a blacktep road shown on all road maps. It isa rocky hillside and woodland garden. 
A NOTE TO OLD CUSTOMERS: We’ve never had such good germination of seeds nor such prosperous seedlings as this year. Many of 
the new primroses and other seedlings are large enough to go into your garden now and should bloom next spring. Though we have 
most of them in quantity it might be well to secure your share at this time. Primroses are the most popular plants we grow. 
Not all the species we have growing here are listed; some are not larze encugh now but may be ready by Spring 1954. Others are unique 
in this country and need to be tested for hardiness before offering them to the public.
