Check your experience with any familiar species against the Natural 
Habitat data given here. My limited gardening experience will not permit 
me to call it Cultural Directions. All plants will grow when we know and 
meet their minimum requirements. Even Mother Nature isn’t always success- 
ful, so I appreciate your suggestions. 
Use this list for your order if you wish, another will be sent you. Send 
no money until requested, unless substitution is authorized. I may not be 
able to get everything you want. 
Perhaps you know of someone that might care to see this list. Send me 
the address and I will mail one. It’s’ worth'’a stamp to hear from you.
