Plants from California 



My new fall catalogue offers, to 

 people in the east, a large collection 

 of exotic blooms — novelties entirely 

 out of the ordinary — which are not 

 obtainable from eastern growers. 



Lovely and rare bulbous plants, glorious 

 Californian Lilies, Mariposa Tulips, 

 Erythroniums, Ferns, Shrubs, and Hardy 

 Plants indigenous to the west, are listed 

 in this catalogue; they are sure to add 

 distinction to your grounds, and most of 

 them are quite easily grown. 



You can obtain this book of Hardy 

 Plants (more than a catalogue, for it gives 

 full directions for growing and propagating) 

 by sending your request to

 Plants will also be sent on
