TO OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS: 
In presenting you with this, our Annual Catalog, we wish 
to thank our many patrons for the liberal patronage extended 
to us in the past, and assure them that all orders intrusted to 
us in the future will have the same careful attention as here¬ 
tofore. 
Honest treatment of our customers is the foundation of 
our business. If you have never done business with us, ask your 
neighbor about us, he doubtless has, and we are willing that 
he should say whether or not we are what we claim to be. 
Business cannot be successfully carried on for a term of years 
without the confidence and good will of the people who are 
its patrons. 
The fact that we guarantee our stock to be absolutely 
correct, leaves no possible chance for you to make a mistake 
in buying from us. We say to you, no matter what you buy, 
if if fails to come up to your expectations or differs from our 
description, or is not in every way as represented, we will make 
it satisfactory. All you need to do is to write us upon receipt 
of shipment, what is wrong, and we will promise you quick 
correction. 
No one plants for one year. It's an investment for a life 
time and future generations. Do not, therefore, let a cheap 
price influence your selection. It takes too long to reap a 
full harvest of planting. Think of your disgust to find later 
that your cheap trees really look cheap. We sell direct to you, 
without paying any agent's commission, and guarantee that 
our price is absolutely the lowest for quality. 
There is one thing, however, which we must remember in 
selling direct to the planter, whether we ship by freight, express 
or mail, and that is that the qualify of our stock is all that we 
claim for it, remembering that the stock we ship is our sales¬ 
man. We do not ship to any distant customer anything which 
we would not want shipped to us. In other words, we treat 
our customers as we would wish to be treated. 
Our C. O. D. offer enables you to take advantage of 
ordering now. Yesterday is gone, forget it. Today is here, 
use it. Never leave till tomorrow what you can do today. 
Very truly yours, 
POMONA UNITED NURSERIES, 
C. W. McNair, 
F. W. Wells.
