Gentlemen: 
The photograph on the other side is a Gardenia which we 
believe is going to fill a gap in the flower business that our previous stock 
has not been able to fill. 
We believe same can be cropped for December, January, and 
February, and we believe that we have proven this beyond a question. It was 
not affected this year by the heat like our other varieties and the plants 
averaged fifteen cut flowers each between the sixth and thirty-first of December 
and they have an average of ten buds each which our grower is positive will open 
before the last of January. 
The flowers have as high as forty petals ; and the plants do 
not seem to be subject to bud drop. In fact, we have not seen one bud drop. 
They throw stems up to sixteen inches long. They can be cut in half open bud 
and they keep especially well. 
We are growing these plants under the same conditions as 
our other stock which is known as the large California Gardenia, or Grandiflora„ 
We do not know the true name of this Gardenia and while we have several differ¬ 
ent species of this same type, the one we are putting out, we believe, is far 
superior to others that have the same appearance of foliage and structure of 
bud. 
We are calling this Gardenia MYSTERY due to the fact that 
we have traced its origin to China and as yet no one has been able to defi¬ 
nitely classify it. 
We expect to replace practically all of our plants with 
this variety due to the fact that it not only blooms in the winter months but is 
a good summer bloomer. It is a very strong vigorous grower and we believe it 
is a plant that is worthy of trial. 
We are booking orders for this plant and will fill them in 
rotation. At the present time, we have this stock in sand and should be able 
to deliver in May and June - two inch stock. 
Anticipating your valuable order, we are 
Very truly yours.
