famous for elegance as they branch profusely and produce

J. G. BACHER, Horticulturist 
Since 1898 when entering the National School of 
Horticulture at Geneva, Switzerland, to acquire a 
fundamental understanding of plant life, gardening 
and its many problems have been Mr. Bacher’s pleas- 
urable duty. Founding of Swiss Floral Company, in 
association with Chas. Welti and H. Graf, and direct- 
ing the business ever since in serving the garden 
world of Portland, has been a worthy achievement. 
Plant production in the better quality stock has been 
a constant goal and many new varieties have origi- 
nated at this establishment; more will follow, fate 
permitting. To provide a source of highest quality 
plant material for garden fanciers everywhere, 
backed by ability and good will to serve customers, is 
the aim of Mr. Bacher.
