GUARANTEE OF INSPECTION: 
Our nursery is inspected regularly by the Los Angeles County 
Agricultural Commission and we have a certificate guaranteeing 
a clean bill of health for all our plants. All plants purchased from 
us can be delivered and planted without further inspection in Los 
Angeles County, however, shipments to other counties must be 
inspected at their destination. 
We take great care in marking plants. If plants are mislabeled, 
we will be liable only to the purchase price or a replacement of the 
plant. 
Due to government freezing order of cans most of the items that 
we used to carry in containers during the year will be limited. We 
ask your cooperation to buy items that can be bought Bare Root 
early.

by removal of about 2 pounds of soil. This method is superior to 
the complete removal of all soil (bare root) on evergreen plants.

mostly for our local trade. These may be shipped as is, or we’ can 
reduce the weight to 30 pounds but will not guarantee safe arrival.
