is witli pleasure we again place before you tbis, onr annual Catalogue of Seeds and 
Trees for the season of 1892, and in so doing we wdsh to thank our many friends and 
IL patrons for their liberal patronage and we trust that our dealings have been such that 
it will merit a continuance of the favors shown us. We shall use every effort in the future 
as we have in the past to give satisfaction, and with our increased facilities and thorough 
knowledge of the business w'e can assure our customers that their wants will be supplied 
promptly with the purest and best stock to be obtained on the most reasonable terms. 
It is now a well known fact that California supplies a good portion of the Vegetable 
and Flower Seeds that are used in the United States and Europe. Owing to our long 
seasons we are enable to grow and mature most all varieties. Most all the large seedmen 
know this and are now handling California stock. 
WARRANTY. 
No honest seedsman can sell seeds and guarantee and be responsible for the 
growth thereof. For there are contingencies continually arising to prevent the 
verv best seed from giving satisfaction, such as sowing too deep, too shallow, in too wet, 
or too dry soil, insects of all descriptions destroying the j>lants as soon as or before they 
appear, also other causes. We therefore do not guarantee, exjsressed or implied. We test 
our seeds before sending them out, and should they fail to grow we will cheerfully replace 
them or give other seeds to the same amount. 
SUGGESTIONS. 
Order early as possible while our stock is complete, then you will be sure of getting 
what you wish, besides having it handy when you are ready to plant. 
Use our order sheets and envelopes when you have them; it will be more convenient 
and less danger of miscarrying or mistakes. 
In ordering both Seeds and Trees please have them on separate sheets as the Nursery 
is a distinct branch. 
IMPORTANT. 
Be very careful to write your name and address plainly. We often receive orders 
without the name or address, and it is impossible to always trace them up. State the way 
you wish your order forwarded, otherwise we will be compelled to use our own 
judgment. 
SEND CASH with your order(at our risk if sent by Postal or Express Order, or 
Draft on any good Banking House). Small sums may be sent in postage stamps if proper 
care is taken to prevent adhesion together.
