‘‘Are you interested in rare and lovely plants? 
Garden aristocrats from all the far corners of the earth—China, Japan, 
India, Australasia, from the towering Himalayas and from the tropical 
forests of South America? Then visit the Coolidge Gardens and make 
acquaintance with its treasures. 
The Arnold Arboretum (of the Harvard University) is the Mecca of 
plant-lovers residing in and visiting our eastern states. On the Pacific Coast 
the Coolidge Gardens present an equally noteworthy collection of rare and 
unusual plants. They are continually importing new material, so that even 
the veteran plant explorer is assured of new surprises at each visit. Our 
Southern California clubs use it as a Botanic Garden, and regularly use a 
space specially provided, amidst very charming surroundings 1n the Oriental 
Gardens, for their meetings and lectures. 
An experienced and courteous staff is always willing to furnish informa- 
tion. The casual visitor is assured of just as warm a welcome as the pros- 
pective purchaser—a love and appreciation of the beautiful in plant-life 
being the only necessary passport to the Gardens. The joys of gardening 
will increase a hundredfold with a more intimate knowledge of the beautiful 
and worth-while in plant-life. 
Visit the Coolidge Rare Plant Gardens and be convinced.”’
