To Our Friends 
and Customers: 
Nursery Department; 
We offer only the highest quality 
nursery stock obtainable. It is clean, 
healthy, and always gives satisfaction. 
Inspection invited. 
When our busy season commences, 
we are rushed with orders, but there 
will be no unnecessary delay in ship¬ 
ping. We aim to ship orders the same 
day as received. 
Guarantee. We warrant all trees 
and plants to be good and thrifty, but 
having no control over them after de¬ 
livery to the transportation companies 
or over the planting and care after 
they are received by the buyer, we will 
not. be responsible any further than 
stated. We exercise great care to have 
our nursery stock true to name. Never¬ 
theless, should any stock prove other¬ 
wise, we shall not be liable for any 
sum greater than that paid us for only 
such stock as shall prove untrue. 
NURSERY INSPECTION. Our nur¬ 
sery stock is inspected by Government 
inspectors, and our nursery is regularly 
inspected by county and state inspec¬ 
tors. Nevertheless, it is necessary by a 
state law that all shipments be inspect¬ 
ed again when entering another county 
sr state. If you have no local inspection 
service, the postmaster will forward 
the parcel to the nearest inspector. 
Ask your postmaster for particulars. 
If you have no inspector in your local¬ 
ity kindly mention this in your order 
so we may ship the parcel to the near¬ 
est inspector who will then forward it 
to you without delay. 
All nursery stock shipped at pur¬ 
chaser's expense, except where marked 
postpaid. We deliver all nursery stock 
free in San Francisco. Items marked 
postpaid are delivered free within the 
Fourth Zone.

E take pleasure, with the advent 
v of another planting season, in pre¬ 
senting this instructive booklet listing 
the hardy and tested varieties of plants 
suitable for this district, with proper in¬ 
structions for their successful cultivation. 
Visitors are always welcome to in- 
inspect our store and nursery. It is situ¬ 
ated in a garden district where there is plenty 
of parking space for cars. Having a seed-store 
and nursery combined, patrons will find it con¬ 
venient to make all their garden-supply purchases 
at one time. Courteous and expert advisers are 
always on hand to help. 
Thank You. We thank the many patrons who fa¬ 
vored us with orders during the past season, and trust 
that everything we supplied came fully up to expecta¬ 
tions. 
Please Order Early. The best time is just as soon 
as this catalog reaches you. The stock may not be ready 
by then, but your order will be given immediate atten¬ 
tion, and be filled just as soon as the stock is available. 
Terms. Cash must invariably accompany order. Our prices are 
very low—as low as consistent with honest treatment and first-class 
stock—and we cannot, under any circumstances, open an account or 
do a credit business, regardless of how responsible a customer may 
be. Our liberal terms of prepayment and low prices will not admit 
it. All postpaid items are delivered free within the Fourth Zone. 
On all plant orders to be sent Parcel Post for less than $1 add 15c 
to cover cost of packing and postage. Do not forget to add the State 
Sales Tax. See page 5. 
C. O. D. Orders. We do not send goods “Collect on Delivery” 
outside of San Francisco. 
Making Out an Order. Please write all orders plainly. Be sure 
to sign your name to the order, and give your post office address, 
county, and state, also express office address if different from that of 
the post office. Please keep a copy of your order to check up stock 
on arrival. Make remittance by Bank Draft, Post Office or Express 
Money Order, or Personal Check, payable to the Sunset Seed and 
Nursery Company. 
Substitutions. As a rule, we do not substitute unless given 
permission to do so. Occasionally a variety may be sold out, and on 
small items it is generally better to make a good substitution than 
to send the order short. When ordering late in the season, it is al¬ 
ways best to name a second choice—but it is always the customer’s 
privilege to order “no substitutions.” We rarely have to substitute 
except at the end of the season, but it is best to provide for the 
contingency. Our advice is to order early. 
Safe Arrival Guaranteed. We guarantee all stock to reach cus¬ 
tomers in good condition. Any just complaint should be made at 
once upon receipt of shipment. We ship to nearly every state in the 
Union, and with many years’ experience in packing and shipping, 
we can safely agree to deliver stock to the most distant points in 
good condition. In case of unreasonable delay in arrival of stock, 
notify us, send copy of order, when originally mailed, how remitted, 
and amount. 
Non-Warranty. Most of the failures with seeds, plants and 
bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our control, such as unfavor¬ 
able weather, too deep and too shallow plantings, slugs, etc., there¬ 
fore we give no warranty, expressed or implied, as to description, 
purity, productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, plants, bulbs, 
etc., we send out, and will be in no way responsible for the crop.
