Individuals 
We are sure that plants are individuals with distinct individualities. 
Some of these individuals can be transplanted much more readily 
than others of the same species. Some respond differently to the same 
environment. It is our privilege and our joy to study the reaction of 
many plants to various changes and to help individual plants as well as 
groups of plants gain strength and vigor. We like to feel that these plants 
which we have assisted nature in raising are finding a new home where 
they will be happy and well cared for. Therefore, we ask you to keep 
them thoroughly watered during the hot dry spells in summer and to 
“send your evergreens into the winter wet.” Keep your wildgarden free 
of undesirable weeds, thistles, ragweed, nettles, poison ivy and Japanese 
honeysuckle, which are a few of your serious menaces. Do not pile heaps 
of leaves on your wildgarden in the fall. Do not remove the natural fall 
of leaves from the wildgarden in the spring. Remember even the tiniest 
plant is used to coming up through natural leaf fall when it wakes up in 
the spring. It needs those leaves for mulch and later on for food. Do 
not cultivate your wildgarden. The roots are delicate and generally close 
to the surface and are easily disturbed.
