California Wild Flower Seeds in Mixtures 
I particularly recommend these mixtures for sowing 
on waste pieces of ground, parkings, vacant lots, etc. 
My No. 1 Mixture has an established reputation, as 
the many letters of praise I have received will prove. 
It contains twenty distinct species mixed in their 
right proportions and will produce a succession of 
bloom for a long period. Many odd corners and un¬ 
sightly pieces of waste ground can be transformed 
into beauty spots by sowing some of these seeds 
broadcast in the fall about the time the rainy sea¬ 
son commences. 
In ordering it is only necessary to mention the num¬ 
ber of the mixture desired. 
Payne’s Mixture. No. 1. General mixture of annual 
wild flower seeds. This mixture is made up of those 
kinds which will give a succession of flowers for a 
long period and will succeed under ordinary condi¬ 
tions. Pkt., 5c; oz., 30c; lb., $4.00. 
Special prices quoted on large quantities. 
Payne’s Mixture. No. 2. Mixture of annual wild 
flower seeds for sowing in shady places. Pkt., 10c- 
oz., 35c; lb., $5.00.

flower seeds in orange, yellow and cream shades

Remember, I am headquarters for California wild 
flower seeds and native plants. Through my work in 
collecting and bringing before the public the beautiful 
wild flowers of California extending over a period of 
twelve years, there is now a considerable demand for 
these seeds. It is a regretable fact that some seed 
stores have resorted to the practice of selling garden 
varieties of flowers as wild species. Some of these are 
cultivated forms of wild flowers, greatly changed, and 
in many cases much inferior to the original types and 
others are not native species at all. My No. 1 Mix¬ 
ture has been imitated by some firms with an inferior 
mixture of such flowers and sold at a price at which 
the true native species could not be furnished. In 
buying your seeds, patronize the firm making a spe¬ 
cialty of the true wild species. For those who wish 
quantities of flower seeds for sowing on vacant ground 
and desire a cheaper mixture than my No. 1 Mixture 
of California Wild Flower Seeds, I have prepared my 
Surprise Garden Mixture described below and which 
I am confident will be found superior to any such 
mixture offered by other firms. 
Surprise Garden Mixture 
This is not a mixture of wild flowers, but of garden 
annuals, with a few wild species added. It contains a 
large number of different kinds, all of them quite 
hardy and varieties that will grow with the least 
amount of care and produce quantities of flowers for 
a long period. Indeed, there are so many kinds ap¬ 
pearing in endless succession that it is a continual sur¬ 
prise from the time the first plant begins to blossom. 
I recommend it for vacant lots and waste pieces of 
ground. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; lb., $2.50. 
Special quotations on large quantities. 
California Native Plants 
I make a specialty of growing native trees, shrubs 
and perennial plants and issue price lists, from time 
tp time, of the kinds I have large enough for sale
