The accompanying picture is a reproduction of a photo engraving 

 used by C. C. Morse & Co. in their advertisement which appeared in the 

 August 31 issue of the Florists' Review. The picture and wording of the 

 advertisement might convey the idea that this entire picture is a part of 900 

 acres grown to seeds by them in one tract. This is not the fact, as our 

 seed ranch of 320 acres, most of which appears in the picture used by 



them, is a part of the 900 acre farm referred to by them in their adver- 

 tisement. The buildings and the immediate foreground of the engraving 

 are part of the C. C. Morse & Co. ranch. Everything in the rear of the long 

 row of sunflower which crosses the picture from right to left are the 



Crops of the Pieters-Wheeler Seed Company, 



about 320 acres. 



We are taking this opportunity of notifying the trade of the facts in 

 the case. We are still growing seeds on the same tract of land, which our 

 Company, and its predecessor, has occupied for about 5 years. We will 

 again grow seeds on the same tract for 1912, and have just secured another 

 300 acre tract near HoUister. 



We have recently installed new machinery in our Cleaning House, 

 including an Air Compressor for thoroughly cleaning the mills between each 

 run of seeds. We are the first and only California Seed Growers to introduce 

 this additional precautionary device. All our seeds are grown from selected 

 stocks, carefully Rogued and Cleaned and high grade in quality. 



We will have some surplus Onion, Lettuce, Radish and Sweet Peas 

 which we will be glad to quote to Seedsmen interested. 



Prices for growing crop 1912 will be promptly named on request for same.
