Always when looking for a particular species I must pass by many other 
“just as good” species for which I have no orders. I will be glad to supply 
these in any number, your selection or mine, at $1.00 per species. Same three 
to a dozen or more sent. I am already there and don’t have to charge travel.

Substitutes also are half-price. 
Regarding your order: Don’t count too much on items preceded by only 
one (.) or (.). I know these plants and where they may be found but, for 
one reason or another, usually because they are not seen at a Suitable time, 
they have not been regularly collectd in the past. Neither do I get seed of 
all of these species every year, about 150 on the average. Sometimes there is 
no crop or, more likely, I am not there at the right time. I try to get what 
you want and if your order is on my collecting list you will get the first 
available. 
Plants like Lilium montanum, Habenaria orbiculata, Fritillaria atro- 
purpurea and Cyprepedium faciculatum, rare on areas where I know them, 
are omitted. Others, like Leucocrinum montanum, Sand Lily; Romanzoffia 
sitchensis, Mist Maidens; Lychnis apetala, Moss Campion, and Cypripedium 
calceolus pubescens, Yellow Lady’s Slipper, common enough in some sections 
but as now known to me, inaccessible or unavailable, are also omitted. These 
and any of the unknowns might become available on any field trip so indi- 
cate what you would like. 
You will have to hurry. Each year the hills I climb become higher and 
steeper. Virgin and remote areas become ever more remote. The familiar 
features of even old friends among the wild flowers appear to my dimming 
eyes to justify the “new” older names young botanists discover for them. 
I have sought out, with my hand lens, a number of these new names for this 
list and trust that they will stand up until they become familiar. Too soon, 
I must tighten my belt into a new hole farther out and content myself with 
a limited list of easily accessible and regularly ordered species. Let’s become 
acquainted while I still have youth. 
My next published list will, I hope, be cut to 50 species. Will those you 
want be in the future list? Indicate, if you wish, “in’ ’or “out.” Do you know 
someone else who would like to play this “in” and “out” game? 
Decapitalization is here used. It is not a crusade with me but laziness. 
Even the endings may not agree, but if I am using a wrong name for any 
plant I should appreciate knowing it.
