TO CORRESPONDENTS 
I take pleasure in presenting herewith my twenty-seventh annual 
catalogue and price list. 
It has been my 'endeavor to list, as much as possible, only the 
very best and most satisfactory of both Fruit and Ornamental Trees 
and Plants. Whatever I am not able to grow on my own grounds, 
I procure from the most reliable Nurseries. My Nursery is located 
between Fifth Avenue and Center Street, one block north and two 
blocks west from the Telephone Building, corner Fourth and H 
Streets, San Rafael. 
I do not give lengthy descriptions of plants, as it is far more 
satisfactory to see the plants actually growing in the nursery. I 
have specimen plants of a number of varieties of trees and shrubs; 
therefore invite my customers and friends to visit the nursery when¬ 
ever convenient. 
Business hours from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m., except Sundays. 
I warrant all trees and plants to be healthy, and true to label, 
but having no control over them after delivery, I do not GUARAN¬ 
TEE them to live and thrive, nor will I replace them, except any 
tree or plant should prove untrue to name; but in no case will I be 
liable for any sum greater than the original purchase price. 
My customers are requested to notify me immediately of any 
error that may have occurred in filling their order, so that the 
same may be rectified, as I desire to give satisfaction to all who 
favor me with their order. 
All orders delivered free in San Rafael and surrounding towns; 
a small charge for packing, to cover cost of material, will be made 
for all orders shipped by express or freight. All articles are at 
the risk of the purchaser, after being shipped. 
Orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied by 
cash or satisfactory reference. All bills payable first of the month. 
STATE SALES TAX: 
When ordering, please add to the amount of your order the Cal¬ 
ifornia State Sales Tax, 3 cents for each dollar. 
NOMENCLATURE 
All plant names, both botanical and common, have been revised 
to conform with 1928 edition of “Standardized Plant Names” if 
listed in that book. The only exceptions are a few uncommon 
items and novelties which that book does not include. This stand¬ 
ardized nomenclature should unquestionably be followed by every¬ 
one from now on.
