In this catalogue for the 1935 
season you will find many new 
creations which it is hoped will 
meet the approval of my many 
friends and flower lovers the 
world over. I have added many 
items for which there has been 
an insistent demand. 
I have appreciated the great 
number of enthusiastic testi¬ 
monials that have come to me 
unsolicited. The apparent suc¬ 
cess that all are having with my 
seeds is certainly gratifying. 
To give a more comprehen¬ 
sive description of a few of the 
more popular Petunia offerings, 
they have been illustrated in 
full color on the center pages of this catalogue. Some of nature's shades of color 
are almost impossible to imitate, but you will find that these full-color reproduc¬ 
tions are exceptionally close matches to the actual flowers. 
California is the world's flower bed. Here at Oxnard, where I am located, 
nature has given an ideal soil and climate that is probably the finest for the 
propagation of seeds and bulbs. 
Oxnard is situated midway between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, in 
Ventura County, on the main line of the Southern Pacific Railroad and on the 
Roosevelt Coast Highway. It is a city of 6500 people and has a temperate 
climate averaging 70 degrees the year 'round. 
To everyone interested, I extend a cordial invitation to visit my nursery and 
see some of my extensive experimental beds in full bloom. 
Your past patronage has been appreciated, and I can assure you that any 
selections you may make from this catalogue will assist materially in making 
your garden an outstanding one for beauty and admiration. 
An order sheet and addressed reply envelope are enclosed for your con¬ 
venience. Place your orders early so that you may not be disappointed in 
getting your selections. 
Sincerely,
