To O ur Customers 
and Garden Friends 
A MERICA today recognizes more than ever before that 
l. California grown flower seeds, bulbs, and plants are the 
finest grown in any land. 1933 conclusively proved this fact 
to us, because our business has shown a steady increase in 
spite of the general tendency everywhere to buy cheap mer- 
chandise. In addition to our own grown specialties we are 
now listing a few of the most popular California flowering 
bulbs as well as the best and most desirable flower seed 
produced by other growers. This year we offer you a large 
selection. 
After all, the smallest item of cost in your garden is the 
seed, so let that little be the best and you will have bought 
wisely. 
It is impossible to give any hard and fast rules govern- 
ing planting and care of flowers that would be applicable to 
every section of the United States. However, you will find 
much valuable information of a general character throughout 
this catalog. 
California Grown Seeds are virile and alive with vitality 
and will show an unusually high germination when planted 
under proper conditions any place in the world. For your 
protection, as well as ours, all seed is regularly tested for 
germination. Practical tests and experiments under actual 
growing conditions are always being made to make doubly 
sure that our seeds are of the highest quality and good enough 
for America’s most discriminating growers. 
Yours for California Grown Seeds and Bulbs—America’s 
Best.
