FOREWORD 
While this Catalog is primarily to assist with your Spring Flowering Bulb Plantings, we 
wish you to know of our other activities. 
Section I offers the Finest Selection of Spring Flowering Bulbs. Following these pages, 
Section II deals with our General Nursery Activities. 
SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 
SECTION I. Our capacity as Bulb Growers and Importers assures that we distribute 
stocks which are right. We grow and handle a greater quantity of bulbs than any other 
wholesale and retail Producer and Dealer in California; we know when a bulb is strictly up 
to size and quality; and we can best advise as to the requirements necessary for finest 
results. Let us know your garden problems. 
QUALITY —Top Size bulbs with certain exceptions noted are necessary to give best results 
under Pacific Coast conditions. In this catalog we offer in all Spring Flowering Bulbs only 
the highest quality obtainable at prices consistent with the careful growing and selection 
of this extra quality. 
GUARANTEE— While we guarantee all bulbs to be of the variety specified, true to color 
and to arrive in good condition, and hold ourselves in readiness on proper proof to replace 
free of charge all that may prove untrue to label, or refund the amount paid, it is mutually 
understood and agreed between the purchaser and ourselves that our guarantee of 
genuineness shall in no case make us liable for any sum greater than that originally 
received for said bulbs or other merchandise that may prove untrue. 
Please advise immediately of any complaints.. Should any damage result through 
carrying agencies, we wish to know without delay so that we may make the proper 
replacements and not disappoint you in your needs. 
Although Tulips, Daffodils and other spring flowering bulbs can be planted with good 
success as late as the last of December if the bulbs have been stored under ideal conditions, 
we recommend October and November as the best planting months. 
Prices quoted in this Catalog include transportation prepaid throughout the United 
States.

LET US PLAN YOUR SPRING FLOWERING GARDENS. Our flowering records are 
available and a postcard from you will bring an answer or a representative to answer your 
many questions of flowering seasons, color and type charcteristics, etc. 
CULTURAL NOTES. We believe that no Bulb Catalog is complete without instructions 
for planting and care. We are BULB GROWERS in addition to our activities as BULB 
DEALERS and we cannot stress too heavily the proper attention to these details, 
care. 
You will find instructions throughout this catalog but we wish to stress that all Bulb 
Gardens should not be allowed to dry out during the growing and flowering season. Only 
by careful attention to this detail can you achieve the maximum results. Remember that 
the plants obtain moisture through the roots and a damp surface condition does not 
necessarily mean that they have an adequate water supply. Keep them well watered. 
DAFFODILS—NARCISSUS 
VARIETIES— The varieties here are but a few of the many hundreds available from 
the northern fields. We have carefully prepared this selection as representing full value for 
their cost and have tested their adaptability to gardens of the Pacific Coast. Write for prices 
on other varieties with which you may be familiar. 
A few bulbs of the higher priced novelties will give unlimited satisfaction for many 
years to come.
