sent unmounted, we have followed this policy, but will be very 
glad to have them moxmted for you if you so request. 
Just a word about crop prospects at this time. As you will 
recall, we had some very disastrous rains earlier in the season 
which retarded practically all of our Lompoc plantings and caused 
serious damage to some. As a consequence, we are anticipating 
shortages in a great many items and no great surpluses on anything. 
Lastly, we wish to extend to you a very cordial invitation to visit 
our plantings at Lompoc and at El Monte if you are in California 
this summer. The Lompoc plantings, somewhat later than normal, are 
just now reaching their height of bloom. Sweet Peas, Larkspurs, 
Calendulas, etc. are in good shape at this time and will be followed 
very shortly by many other summer blooming annuals. Our Zinnia 
acreage at El Monte we expect will be at its best during the month 
of August. 
We shall be very happy to welcome you both at Lompoc and El Monte 
at any time. 
Yours very truly.
