plants. List many conifers, tricyrtis, the newer heucheras. Bill hybridizes
hosta also.
Nature's Garden, 40611 Highway 226, Scio OR 97374. Owner, Mr. F.W. Held,
hybridizes ensata iris. He has an 8 page catalog, many woodlanders, ferns,
alpines, rock garden plants, etc. The descriptions are sparse, but so are
the prices ! Most are $2-4, some even less. My order came with bonus
plants, all in mossy packing material, but strong. Catalog is free for
SASE, long size. Shipping reasonable using US Priority mail. This nursery
is a real "sleeper!" They also have a wholesale list.
