Terms, Conditions and Organization 
OUR POLICY 
Is to grow the best. Quality nursery stock cannot be grown without extra care and 
expense. Therefore look out for cheap stock as quality, condition or cleanliness must be 
sacrificed. All our stock in “containers” is clean, healthy and not root bound. None of our 
“Balled” stock is too old or overgrown while our “Deciduous” stock is freshly grown each 
year. “Quality Stock Pays.” 
TERMS 
All prices are net: 2% discount for cash 
with order. All bills due and payable 60 days 
from date of invoice, unless otherwise ar¬ 
ranged. Interest at the rate of 7 per cent 
will be charged after 60 days. 
RATE 
Quotations in this list will be furnished 5 
at ten rate, 25 at hundred rate and 250 at 
thousand rate. 
PACKING 
Packing is done in the most careful way 
and a charge is made to cover cost of ma¬ 
terials only. Our packers have had many 
years experience. 
TRUCK DELIVERIES 
With a fleet of four trucks we can make 
prompt deliveries to all parts of California 
and will save our customers boxing, freight 
and cartage, and also eliminate extra hand¬ 
ling of plants. 
GUARANTEE 
While we exercise the greatest care to 
have all stock true to name, we give no 
warranty, express or implied, and in event 
that stock is proven not true to name, we 
VISIT OUR NURSERIES 
We have three principal growing grounds, or Nurseries, located at Morgan Hill, Santa 
Clara County; Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County; and Brentwood, Contra Costa County, 
with our Alain Office, Floral Store and Salesyard at 2201-2205 The Alameda, San Jose, on 
the main San Francisco Highway, between San Jose and Santa Clara. 
At Morgan Hill we have our propagation houses for cuttings and seedage, as well as 
lathhouses where all the stock in containers is grown. At this nursery we grow over three 
hundred thousand plants. Tire climate at Morgan Hill is warmer than most parts of Santa 
Clara Valley and with plenty of water is conducive to very favorable plant growth. 
At Santa Cruz we have twelve acres where eighty thousand field grown, or “balled” 
plants are produced under most favorable growing conditions. This section was designated 
by the late Luther Burbank as being the best in California for the largest variety of plants. 
At Brentwood, where we have three locations, all deciduous fruit stock, roses and fruit 
tree seedlings are grown. On the highlands we grow the budded fruit trees and roses in 
loam}^ soil, while the seedlings are grown under Delta peat conditions. The former with 
plenty of water and heat produces ideal fruit trees in a section free from Peach Root Borer, 
and the latter, which is sub-irrigated, develops a splendid fibrous branched root system. 
Our location at San Jose is the main distributing point and acts as a hub in the center 
of the nursery locations. We believe the favorable conditions under which our stock is 
grown and the years of experience back of our employees put us in a position to cater to 
those who want the best.

NATIVE TREES 
The stock of Native Trees and Shrubs we 
carry cannot be equaled in California. Our 
nurseries are recognized Headquarters for 
this class of stock. The demand for native 
stock is increasing each year and wherever 
a shortage of water exists this type of plant 
can be suggested. All natives are preceded 
with an asterisk (*).
