WATSONIA SEED, MIXED 
Watsonias are related to the Gladiolus, only much 
taller and more profuse in flower. They flower in 
February and March and cannot be raised outdoors 
where it snows or freezes hard, only in the semi- 
tropical zone or in greenhouses. They are excellent 
as cut flowers. Mine are the most up-to-date hy¬ 
brids and come in all shades such as Gladiolus, 
except blue and yellow. The flowers are about 
three inches in diameter. Sow out like gladiolus 
seeds. 
Sample pkg. 50c Trade pkg. $1.00

Carmel, Calif., Jan. 27, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Mr. Diener: Two years ago I bought a package of 
your Ruffled Monster Petunias, and even though I am very 
much of an amateur and have little time to give them the 
best care, I achieved results that did the name of Diener 
proud. There is nothing more beautiful nor more fragrant 
than a bed of ruffled Petunias. 
Yours very truly, 
ELIZABETH M. NILES. 
Glencoe, Ill., July 20, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
My Dear Mr. Diener: The Petunias from your seeds were 
even more beautiful this year than in the preceding one. 
Yours very truly, 
JESSE L. STRAUSS.

West Springfield, Mass., July 24, 1935. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, Calif. 
Dear Sir: Planted in our greenhouse during this last Janu¬ 
ary "Dreams of Beauty" Delphinium seeds. We are now 
cutting "wonderful blooms" from the field. 
Yours truly, LARONE FLOWER GARDENS. 
Meadow Brook, Santa Rosa, Calif., Dec. 7, 1933. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, Calif. 
Dear Sir: Just a line to let you know how the seeds pur¬ 
chased from you are doing tor us. The Delphiniums "Dreams 
ot Beauty" are just what you christened them and are ad¬ 
mired by some but envied by most. The statice was just 
fine and have large bunches hung up for winter decora¬ 
tions. Last year we did not renew our Petunia seeds and, 
believe it or not, they came through the hard winter we 
had here and bloomed fine all summer and are still in 
bloom at this writing. 
Yours sincerely, 
REGINALD S. KNIGHT. 
Appleton, Wisconsin, March 23, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: I want to tell you how pleased I was with the 
Petunia seed I got from you last spring. The Green Edged 
Doubles were the most wonderful Petunias I ever saw. As 
long as I can get your seed I do not want any others. 
Sincerely, 
MRS. LENA MASSONET. 
Cohasset, Massachusetts, July 31, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: A friend of mine has the finest Petunias I have 
ever seen, which she says came from your nurseries. Please 
send me your catalog when issued. 
Very truly yours, 
HARRY V. LONG. 
Ephrata, Pa,, October 23, 1935. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: Please send me your latest catalog on Petunia 
seeds. I purchased a small order from you last year and 
they were by far the finest I ever raised. The only trouble 
I had with them last year, was that I didn't have enough 
to meet the demand. 
Yours very truly, 
MRS. ELIAS E. ANDES.
