I herewith present my new catalog for the sea¬ 
son of 1936. With this issue I have again added a 
considerable number of new items which I feel 
should meet with the approval of my many friends 
and flower lovers the world over. 
Unsolicited testimonials in large numbers bear 
evidence that everyone has been unusually suc¬ 
cessful with my stock. 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 catalog. Some 
of nature's shades of color are almost impossible 
to imitate, but you will find that these full-color 
reproductions are exceptionally close matches to 
the actual flowers. 
It has been necessary for me to use larger acre¬ 
age in order to take care of the demand for larger 
quantities in the more popular numbers. At 
Oxnard, California, where I am located, the ideal 
soil and climate is probably the finest for the 
propagation of seeds and bulbs. 
Oxnard is situated midway between Los An¬ 
geles 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 invi¬ 
tation 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 catalog will assist materially in 
making your garden an outstanding one for 
beauty and admiration. 
An order sheet and addressed reply envelope 
are inclosed for your convenience. Place your 
orders early so that you may not be disappointed in getting your selections.
