AIKEN U9 (\ Putney ~ Vermont l) =) >) a a > a a ae ae LPL EE EO A OE A A A A A A 0 North American Wildflowers HIS price list is the result of several years of interesting work which we have spent with our native wild flowers. Everyone knows that they are the loveliest and most charming of flowers, but very little has been done in making them available for general planting, or in disseminating knowledge of their cultural requirements. While we regret that we have space available in this list for only the very briefest descriptions, yet if you have any particular problems we will be glad to advise you by letter to the best of our ability. This service, however, is for our customers only. It is only natural that in trying out new varieties that there will be failures. It is human nature to wish to grow grapefruit in Maine and raspberries in Florida, but nature dictates otherwise, and she also has her rules regarding our wildflowers. It sometimes happens that flowers, which here in Vermont grow in full sun may succeed far south if given shade. But let us suggest that your wild flower garden consist mostly of the reliables, and each season, try a few new sorts which appeal to you. To assist you, you will find in the back of this pamphlet, lists of plants adapted to certain locations. Asout Prices. As we ship our plants to all the states and many far corners of the earth, we necessarily make all prices f.o.b. Putney, Vermont. Unless instructed other- wise we will send either by mail or express collect, whichever seems best. Terms—Fifty or more plants of one variety will be scld at 100 rates: 250 or more of one variety will be sold at 1000 rates. Time to PLrant—In general, most wild flowers transplant best in late August and September, although there are exceptions to this rule. And finally, if our customers show sufficient interest in this work we are doing, we will be able to offer you more new and interesting plants each season. GEORGE D. AIKEN, PUTNEY, VERMONT GEORGE D.
