SEEDS OF NATIVE PLANTS 
especially of the High Plains, Badlands and Black 
Hills, harvested in 1954. 
A select list of new and choice items, these are 
the “wildflowers” of relatively dry regions. As in 
their native homes they choose well drained Soils 
and situations, similar placing assures their suc- 
cess in the garden. Further cultural details 
may be noted in our plant catalog. 
All seeds require steady moisture for germina- 
tion. Certain Penstemons and others are aided 
by months of freezing but most Great Plains seeds 
may be germinated freely indoors, or outside in 
spring, with adequate moisture.
