Beautiful at all seasons of 
the year, Ivy Hill Forest is a 
_ springtime fairyland of natural 
beauty. With its lake, water- 
falls, 120 acres of woodland 
and miles of trails bordered 
with delicate wildflowers, it 
stands as a living memorial to 
the vital work of conserving

In the beginning every living thing in this world is small. A child who follows his 
parents step-by-step down a garden path, stopping to smell the freshness of a flower or 
gazing in admiration at the wonder of a blossom, will some day grow up to take his 
place in the world of men. 
When you admire a beautiful plant or ponder the wonders of a venerable tree, 
remember, it too had its small beginning. The oak grew from a tiny acorn, an exquisite — 
rhododendron from a seed no larger than a speck of dust. 
The encouragement of healthy growth, with plants as with people, requires patience 
and proper care. It is in the joy of watching small thigs grow from which many 
of the pleasures come in life. 
Ivy Hill Forest has developed a plan whereby everyone may purchase top-quality 
2-year-old plants and watch them grow and grow, year after year, in size, beauty and 
value. No other name than Perkie Plants could more aptly designate these quality 
plants, because they reach you nursery-fresh. With our unique method of packaging, 
Perkie Plants actually grow in transit. 
Perkie Plants... grow... as they go. . . to you!
