TO THE TRADE: 
We hand you herewith our current Vegetable Seed Price List. In this 
list we offer only the varieties of seed which are in demand in the Central 
Valleys of California, for as a rule, your customer when planting vegetables 
for home use or market garden, is only interested in those types that have 
been proven adaptable to their climatic or soil conditions and will produce 
satisfactory crops. We have compiled brief descriptions of the varieties 
listed and trust you will find this information useful. The figures on ripen¬ 
ing periods of the various crops will not be correct in every case as climatic 
conditions will very often speed or retard the maturity of a crop. The 
variations in ripening times of the early and late types of any certain variety 
will, however, be nearly correct. Season periods are number of days from 
planting seed to table or market stage. 
Practically every item in the Seed List is in shorter supply this season 
than for many years past and in some items such as Sweet Corn and Vine 
Seeds this shortage is acute. Our stocks are ample at this time but we 
expect to be sold out on many items before the Spring planting season is 
far advanced. For this reason we can only offer stocks subject to being- 
unsold upon receipt of your order. 
All seeds in this list are quoted f. o. b. Sacramento and quotations are 
subject to market change. 50 pound lots of any variety take the 100 pound 
price. 
We give no warranty express or implied as to the quality, productiveness, 
description or any other matter of any seeds we sell and will not be in any 
responsible for the crop.
