San Dimas, California 



An Appreciation and a Promise. 



IT has been said that the man who succeeds, does so because 

 possessing the " know how." To no business does this 

 aphorism apply so strongly as it does to Citrus fruit grow- 

 ing. Obviously, in its physical aspects it is one of the most 

 alluring occupations of suburban life. When to this attractive- 

 ness is coupled material gain, a handsome return for capital 

 and labor it immediately becomes an object appealing alike 

 to our sense of gain as well as pleasure. No one division of our 

 horticultural development combines utility and beauty in so 

 wide a sense, and no other line of fruit growing in the United 

 States can show a growth covering so small an area and only a 

 trifle over a quarter century old, whose investments represent 

 two hundred millions of dollars and an annual output of nearly 

 twenty millions more. To have in only a small measure been 

 instrumental in this development is with us a pleasant recollect- 

 ion; to be conscious of the fact that literally thousands of citrus 

 trees now yielding bounteous crops are the product of the San 

 Dimas Citrus Nurseries, is to us a satisfaction and a 

 joy. So keenly appreciative are we of this distinction that it 

 shall ever be our aim to supply the citrus fruit growers with the 

 best trees that care, skill, experience and our natural advantages 

 of soil and climate can possibly be made to produce. Our inter- 

 ests and ambitions are to serve all directly interested in citrus 

 fruit farming, not only in the establishment of new groves, but 

 also in the maintenance of those already in bearing. In this 

 connection, we are always willing to lend the helping hand in 

 the way of suggestion and consultation, realizing that 

 that which is to the interest of the grower has a direct 

 bearing on the future of this business. The success of citrus 

 fruit production and marketing is of as much concern to us as 

 the production of citrus trees. Feeling this way, we shall always 

 appreciate rendering assistance to those who are part and parcel 

 of its personnel and success.
