THE PRIDE OF 

 CALIFORNIA 



HANNAH HOBART 



The grand prize 'winner in competition with the latest and very 

 best products in Carnations, east or west, for the last eig>ht yeai*B. 



Mr. John A. Balmer. ot Oleslnm. WasblDgton, after bis visit to our nurreries in January, 1902. wrote an article for a trade paper in which 

 be said: "The Hannah Hobart ii really a remarkable flower, never lefts than four inches, and frequently four and one-half Inches across. 

 In color it is a shade deeper than Lawson, but the petal arrangement is quite dilTerent. in this respect it mobt resembles the old Jubilee, but of 

 course the color is diffew nt. I saw two large houses of it at Sievers', and the siKbt Ir one Iodk to be remembered, hundreds of blooms and not a 

 poor one in the lot, and^veryone the exact counterpart of the other, no burst calyxes, but every flower supported on a 24-inch stem, and stand- 

 ing up like soldiers. There is certainly no carnation of its color that can equal it." 



The above is a truthful statement of facts by a very competent gentleman, and if needinR verification, the simple assertion that the flowers 

 of this magniflcient variety of Carnation have been sold wbolesale as high as (1.50 per dozen, and none less than tl per dozen uo to date, should 

 be enough to convince anybody of its intrinsic value. (See Illustration of an average bloom in the Florists' Keview, June 1. 1915.) 



The constant inquiry by everyone who has seen the plants in flower is: "When will tbe Hannah Hobart be for sale ?" This led us 

 at last to tbe conclusion to distribute the same next year, and we are ready to book orders f rim now on for delivery beginning Jan. 1, 1906. 

 Send your orders in early because they will be filled strictly in rotation. Price, f 3.00 per 12; flS.OO per lOO; 9130.00 per lOOO.

Danger from Japanese G>mpetition. 



It is useless for me to waste any time 

 as to the chance the white man has 

 when in direct competition with the Jap- 

 anese. Born and raised in a country 

 where 5 cents a day is the wage earned 

 by the gardener, they have, through cen- 

 turies of existing in a condition border- 

 ing on actual starvation, reached a stage 

 where they can live in ease where their 

 white brother would speedily succumb. 

 The same method of living having been 

 adopted by them when in California 

 makes them doubly dangerous as a busi- 

 ness competitor. 



The Japanese come here merely to get 

 together enough money to go home to 

 Japan with and live there the balance 

 of their lives. They do not become citi- 

 zens or amalgamate with the white. races; 

 they bring nothing with them into the 

 country, take the place of white labor 

 by offering to work cheaper, live almost 

 entirely on foodstuffs shipped here from 

 Japan, and when they have money enough 

 they return home. Thus it can be seen 

 that they produce nothing but what they 

 carry from the country with them. In 

 several other lines of business in Cali- 

 fornia they have, by adopting the same 

 tactics, completely displaced the whites, 

 and herein lies the danger that at present 

 confronts us. 



Wages and Living Expenses. 



"Whatever may be the ruling rate of 

 wages paid in grower'? establishments, 

 the Japanese always works a little 

 •cheaper. The Japanese growers pay their 

 help from $15 to $20 per month and 

 board, whereas the ruling wages for the 

 same class of work in places owned 

 by whites averages from $30 to $40 and

board. It is a curious fact that the 

 Japanese will work for his countrymen 

 $5 a month cheaper than he will for 

 any one else, and it is a gratifying fact 

 that there are but few establishments 

 besides the Japanese which now hire any 

 Japanese gardeners. It costs them, when 

 boarding themselves, about $5 to $6 per 

 month for food. They live almost en- 

 tirely on salt fish and rice and seem to 

 care very little for American dishes.
