TO THE SEED TRADE: 
It gives us great pleasure to again present for your 
consideration our General Trade List of "California's Best 
Flower Seeds," Crop 1938. 
As in past years, we are specializing particularly in 
Florists' strains. Our stock seed comes from individual plant 
selections tested and grown in extensive Trial Grounds, to 
which we are devoting ten per cent of our acreage. We are 
continually striving to breed new varieties and to improve 
our stock of the standard sorts. 
We believe that you will find our prices reasonable and 
consistent with seeds of the highest quality. 
We are prepared to grow from your own private stock 
and give it our careful attention. 
A hearty welcome awaits all visitors to our ranches — 
we extend a cordial invitation to the Seed Trade to call on 
us while in California and we will be very pleased to per¬ 
sonally conduct you through our extensive Trial Ground 
and field plantings. 
We welcome this opportunity to thank you, our cus¬ 
tomers and friends, for your loyal support during the past 
year; and we shall endeavor to deserve your continued 
confidence by supplying only the best in Flower Seeds.
