choice could be made so much easier. The next best thing is to vrrite and let us help

CORRESPONDENCE. We are very glad to answer any inquiries about our flowers. 
We find from past inquiries that there ore many who would like to have more natives in 
their gardens, but, ore not sure of what they want and how their garden conditions might 
meet the need of these plants. In the first place we are located where there is considor- 
able snow and cold weather in the winter months and very hot weather in the summer. 
This condition is bound to make hardy plants. There are certain plants we can recom¬ 
mend to one wishing to start a native garden, not alone because they are hardy and of 
easy culture, but, attractive and representative of the group as well. We will be very 
glad to give you any information we have acquired from our own experience and from 
hundreds of our customers. 
Just a word about our nursery. We are not collectors. At the present time we are 
growing and raising over 400 different varieties that are referred to as Natives. They 
come from the Rocky Mountain and the Pacific Coast States and a few from the East. 
Our plan is to get sufficient plants for seed and then raise our own plants. We have 
many plants which we do not advertise as we may not have enough for this purpose or 
we are not sure of their value. Please do not confuse us with collectors. 
When you visit our nursery you will see every plant we offer growing here and 
thousands of small bulbs, plants and shrubs under cultivation. We are located just seven 
miles East of Laytonville which is 150 miles north of San Francisco on the Redwood 
Highway. There are accommodations on the ranch for visitors who are always welcome. 
However, we like to know ahead of time when visitors are to be expected so some one 
will be at the ranch house.
