INTRODUCTION 
I herewith offer my new catalog for 1937. 
Despite the depression, I have made many 
improvements in the hope that business 
will be better this coming year. The last 
six years have been the most difficult I have 
had to weather in all my life. It has been 
only by careful management and hard 
work that I have found it possible to keep 
going. In this type of business the expenses 
are the same in good times or bad, and I, 
like everyone else, hope that we are in for 
better times. 
Although we had some losses in Petunia 
plants due to the unusual heat this sum¬ 
mer, we have a fine crop of seed of first- 
class quality. The flowers have been im¬ 
proved to a still higher perfection which 
astonished every visitor to our gardens. 
We have had many fine comments on 
our new Pelargoniums (Lady Washing¬ 
ton), as well as on the new double and 
giant flowering single Shasta Daisies and 
Dreams of Beauty Delphinium. We now 
have about 100,000 Amaryllis bulbs which 
have reached a high degree of perfection. 
This new strain is undoubtedly the best in 
existence today. 
My nursery is not one of the largest, but 
to anyone interested in flowers it is per¬ 
haps the most interesting. Many outstand¬ 
ing flower novelties are born here and sent to all parts of the civilized world for the enjoy¬ 
ment of flower lovers. 
This year, particularly, we had many visitors from all parts of the world. To everyone 
interested I extend a cordial invitation to visit my nursery. Here you will always find some 
new and interesting creations. The nursery is open week days from 7:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m., 
but is closed on Sundays and holidays. 
Your past patronage has been appreciated, and I can assure you that any selection 
you may make from this catalog will assist materially in making your garden an out¬ 
standing one for beauty and admiration. 
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 about 7000 people and has a temperate climate averaging 70 degrees the 
year 'round. Oxnard is one of the nicest, cleanest little 
towns in California. 
An order sheet and addressed reply envelope are 
inclosed for your convenience. Place your orders early 
so that you may not be disappointed in your selection.
