SOUTHERN CALIF. WILD FLOWER MIXTURE 
2009 A splendid mixture of true California wild flowers so 
blended as to give a succession of bloom from early spring 
to mid-summer. For best results the seed should be sown in a 
prepared seed bed. They may be planted from fall to early 
spring—a longer bloom resulting from the fall planting. If you 
have a piece of ground you cannot irrigate, or have not time 
to give particular attention, yet you want to have something 
beautiful instead of unsightly weeds, we advise you to plant 
our Wild Flower Mixture. Five pounds of seed is sufficient to 
plant an acre. Pkt. 15c; oz. 75c; !4 lb. $2.50; lb. $9.00.
