LESTER ROWNTREE 8C COMPANY 
CARMEL, CALIFORNIA, U. S. A. 
Our main authority for the identification of species is Jepson's 
“Manual of the Flowering Plants of California.” 
Lester Rowntree 6? Co. will neither personally collect nor handle 
for commercial sale, native California plants dug from wild stands. 
All seeds listed in quantity are commercially grown and an in- 
creasing number of other species are obtained from plants grown 
under cultivation. We do most of our collecting personally, taking 
care never to exhaust a stand of native plants, and we make a 
point of scattering seed in flowerless places. We are working in 
cooperation with conservation agencies—our motive, to preserve 
the natural flora of the Pacific Coast. 
We prepay postage only in the United States and Canada. We 
insure parcels only at the customer’s request and expense. Other' 
wise we assume no responsibility for safe carriage. 
Prices subject to change without notice. This catalog supersedes 
all previous issues. 
Lester Rowntree 6? Co. gives no warranty, express or implied, as 
to description, purity, productiveness or any other matter, of the 
seeds they sell, and will not be in any way responsible for them.
