TESTIMONIALS 
Paso Robles, Sept. 15, 1918. 
Now that I have seen your nursery I comprehend more fully the force of your trademark 
.“Pedigreed Stock.” There is as marked difference in the appearance of your stock when compared 
with the products of the ordinary nursery as there is between pedigreed and scrub live stock. In 
every respect, it seems to me, your nursery approaches as closely to the 100 per cent standard as it 
is possible to attain. The soil is superb, the climate admirable for propagating hardy stock, pains¬ 
taking care is manifest, and the entire stock is clean and hardy. What more could be asked? 
I congratulate your customers and wish you the great success that your knowledge, experience, 
painstaking care and conscientious business methods deserve. 
Sincerely yours, 
R. S. P. 
San Jose, Sept., 1918. 
We fully appreciate the fact that your trees, on account of the personal element, are far ahead 
of the average nursery trees. We have had a number of years’ experience with pedigreed live stock. 
We know the similarity between pure bred animals and selected trees. We know the result of buying 
scrub stock of either variety, but we also know that it needs a lot of talking to influence people to 
put a few dollars more into the right kind of stock. 
Yours very truly,
