The bulk of the flower seeds that are used in the 
world, no matter where one may buy them, are 
grown by flower seed specialists in sunny Southern 
California, on great farms devoted to the growing 
of flower seeds only. 
California has the best soil and the best climate 
in the world for this purpose. No better flower 
seeds are grown anywhere. 
The great bulk of our seed is grown by the world- 
known firm of Bodger’s and better seed than they 
grow cannot be purchased.
