To Customers. 



To all flower lovers who may receive this catalogue I 

 send greeting, with the hope they may find in its pages 

 many things they desire to add to their collections 



All orders shall receive my best attention, and every 

 order shall be made to give satisfaction. 



1 have greatly increased my stock of Cacti and rare 

 Succulent Plants. 



My mixture of cacti seed is especially choice. It con- 

 tains many beautiful varieties and some carefully hybrid- 

 ized seed of night and day bloomers. 



To Begonias I give especial attention and have a splen- 

 did collection. I cross fertilize and hybridize them, and 

 have many fine seedlings which, owing to a limited stock, I 

 do not catalogue for the general trade, but can supply a few 

 to those especially interested in these exquisite plants. 



Any rare plants or seeds not offered here 1 will endeav- 

 or to obtain for any of my customers who write me for them. 



My catalogue is free to all customers. The price is 10 

 cents to any who apply for it, and if stock is ordered the 

 amount may be added to first order. 



Especial attention is given to packing. If, through any 

 mistake, plants are received in bad condition, 1 will make 

 good any loss, provided report is made within ten days 

 after plants are received, but those who wait several 

 weeksor months before writing must not expect me todo this. 



I issue two annual wholesale lists to dealers, which I 

 will send on application it business card is enclosed. 



It has been thoroughly demonstrated, not only that in 

 Southern California can be grown all the choice plants, seeds 

 and bulbs heretofore imported, but that they are of better 

 quality. The percentage of seeds grown in this favored cli- 

 mate which germinate readily is greater than those grown 

 in any other land. This is due to our wonderfully fertile 

 soil and the absence of summer rains.

 freight.

 in case an order cannot be filled as selected.
