—at our gardens, Rios 
Silvestres, in Beautiful 
Brown Valley, in the 
Santa Cruz Mountains, 
as shown by this sketch 
map. Here, with ideal 
soil, water and climatic 
conditions, in a sheltered 
sunny spot among the redwoods, on 
a good mountain road of rare beauty, 
and with the most enchanting of all 
forest streams running through the 
center of our property, we are glad to meet 
our llower-loving friends who choose to visit 
us. Any who come from a distance should 
advise in advance—a postcard will do—otherwise we 
might be absent temporarily. April to December are 
the best months to come. 
If interested in our Old-Fashioned Roses we suggest you come in late April or early 
May; in other roses, any time during the season, spring or fall. Campanulas may be 
seen at their best during late June, July and August but there are some kinds that put 
on a good show for a much longer season and some have bloom almost the whole year 
through. 
Visitors coming from highway 101 can come by way of the Hecker Pass and 
save time. At the foot of the pass, by the Shell Gas Station, take the Hazel Dell road 
vhich turns to the north and stay on that road, over the grade, for a distance of about 
;even miles, avoiding the roads that turn left for Watsonville.
