California 
Wild Flower Mixtures 
The mixtures listed below are the result of over thirty 
years of observation and intensive study of the native 
flora of California from scientific and practical standpoints. 
Each mixture is prepared according 1 to a regular formula 
which has taken years of experimental work to bring to 
perfection. They contain only the true wild species, mixed 
in the right proportions to produce a succession of flowers 
over a long period of time. The species used in the mix¬ 
tures are the most showy kinds, hardy and of easy culture, 
succeeding under any ordinary conditions. We recommend 
their general use in home grounds, parkways, school 
grounds, private estates, vacant lots or any unused 
ground in either large or small areas. By the use of these 
wild flower mixtures many odd corners and waste pieces 
of ground can easily be converted into beauty spots for a 
large portion of the year at a minimum of expense in 
money, time and labor. Don’t fail to sow some wild flower 
seeds this season.
