“T am certain that California before 50 years will be the great seed and 
bulb growing country of the WORLD.. You have the exact conditions of cli- 
mate necessary to grow seeds, and I would advise you at once to begin sys- 
tematically.” PETER HENDERSON, 1882.

Please Read Careivully. 
Owing to the favorable climate of Southern California, seeds, bulbs and 
plants have every advantage for perfect devevelopment and are of superior: 
quality. This point, owing to its peculiarly sheltered location, is unusually 
favored, lying directly on the ocean, and close up to the foot hills, itis exempt 
from much of our cold winter winds, and delicate plants live and thrive outside 
all the year. The thermometer seldom indicates a degree of heat above 80 and 
rarely falls below 40.
