Our Cover: 
In no other part of the world except California can one see the famous Giant Redwoods 
(Sequoia sempervirens) pictured on our catalog cover. These magnificent trees have the 
wisdom of the ages, many having watched the pageant of history for over 2000 years. 
In the world famous Redwood Empire along the Pacific Coast in Northern California will 
be found trees that tower over 300 feet high. These are the world’s tallest trees. We are 
indebted to the Southern Pacific for the very beautiful scene that makes up our cover.

California is unrivaled for the beauty of its wild flowers, but not many people realize that many of these 
flowers are perfectly hardy and can be grown successfully almost anywhere. You need have no fear of suc- 
cess with them, for the hardiness of the varieties we list have been well proven in even the coldest parts of 
this country.

in a garden. Groups should be planted in every 
shaded spot in the garden, preferrably moderately 
moist and woody, where they will become perma- 
nently established. They flower in mid-February 
to April on the west coast, and early in April in 
the East.
