and NOW SEEDS 
Of the Same Outstanding Ouality as Salbach 
Dahlias, Gladiolus, and Iris 
-+- 
w e now offer selected seed specialties for your garden—not just quality seeds—but 
the very finest of the best and newest varieties that can be had. We have sought the 
advice of Sydney B. Mitchell, Sunset Magazine garden consultant and recognized 
as the leading authority on western gardens—and have in every case obtained stock 
of the very finest strains, regardless of cost. In fact, some of our stock actually 
comes from Mr. Mitchell’s own garden. 
However, we wish to make it plain to our customers that we are not attempting 
to stock a complete line of seeds. Indeed, we are choosing only specialties—limiting 
ourselves to outstanding strains which are rarely offered for general sale—or, in 
many instances, exclusive listings of strains which cannot be matched anywhere. 
We call particular attention to the following remarkable seeds for which we have 
the exclusive listing: 
Reinelt Delphinium—No finer strain can be 
had. The result of a most meticulous pro¬ 
cess of selection and re-selection by a re¬ 
markably able hydridist. 
Santa Maria Inn Iceland Poppies — The 
world’s finest strain, built up by Frank J. 
McCoy, the genial proprietor of the Inn, 
whose hobby has been the growing of the 
finest Iceland Poppies. 
Helianthemum—A beautiful dwarf flowering 
shrub. Our seeds obtained from Sydney B. 
Mitchell, whose original stock came from 
the world famous John Nicholl Scotch 
strain. 
Besides these exclusives, we are offering many strains of international repute, 
a few of which are: 
Bodger’s Zinnias—The finest mixtures sold, 
coming direct from the originators of the 
famous “Dahlia-Flowered” types. 
Butzke Pansy Seed — Raised by the famous 
Berkeley hybridist who has so consistently 
taken the prizes at the California Flower- 
Festival and the Spring Flower Show. 
Petunias—Including Richard Diener’s Ruffled 
Giants, direct from Mr. Diener’s own stock. 
Also other listings in the “Balcony” type, 
so highly commended by Sydney B. Mitchell. 
Waller-Franklin Aquilegia—Described by 
Sydney B. Mitchell in “From a Sunset Gar¬ 
den” as the finest American strain of 
columbine.
