SEED DEPARTMENT 
Our flower seeds are grown by recognized specialists in 
California. and they are just as good as you can get, re- 
gardless of the growing descriptions, and high sounding ad- 
jecti 
seed 
ves used by many seed houses. This growing of flower 
s. under ideal conditions, is centered in a small district 
in California, where they are grown and shipped to every 
section of the world. Our seed are the best they grow; they 
are 
men 
no better than you can get from other first-class seeds- 
. but they are identical in every respect. We do not mix 
old crop seed with new crop, so you may expect to get nearly 
100 
you 
per cent germination from the seed we send out. Also, 
can save about one-half on your seed bill; that is some- 
thing to remember.
