 of native Calif ornian plants and trees; to 

 give a popular list of ,Sunny San Diego 

 shells, and a sketch of the more striking 

 natural curiosities of the Pacific slope, 

 with a few select il lustrations of the plants 

 and shells.

 nia with large quantities of seeds of hun- 

 dreds of our native plants. Price per 

 packet, 15 cents, $1. per dozen of the 

 more beautiful kinds. Seeds of palms or 

 other trees, 25 cents per packet. Prices

DEPARTMEMT OF MOLLFSFA . 



Twenty thousand named shells, Ameri- 

 can and Foreign, live cents each, five dol- 

 lars per hundred, fifty dollars per thousand 

 — the larger the order the larger the shells 

 included. I have shells from the size of a 

 pin point, up to those weighing a pound or 

 more. Orders received tor as few or as 

 many kinds as are wanted, one or ,many 

 shells of a kind as may be d sired. My 

 new list of these will not be ready for a 

 month or more; my old list is practically 

 exhausted. 



The California pearl, or ahalohe shell 

 (Haliotis, of which there are several spe- 

 cies) is our most ornament il kind, and the 

 largest. Value, 5c. to $1, according to 

 size. Genuine pearls from these mollusks 

 can be furnished from 50c. each to $1, or 

 even $5.00. Th> se are quite rare and beau- 

 tiful, some very large and of odd shapes.
