One of the 
MOST COMPLETE STOCKS OF GOOD PLANTS 
in Southern California 
TUTTLE BROS. NURSERIES 
DEAR FRIEND: 
This year we want to impress you particularly with the importance of ordering your roses and fruit 
trees early. If you wait until February or March to make your selections you will find many varieties 
unobtainable. 
According to latest estimates there is in the United States only 35% of a normal crop of roses. This 
means that only one out of three persons will be able to buy the plants he needs. We are fortunate in 
having a good supply, particularly in the popular varieties. However, it will be necessary for us to share 
our stock with smaller nurseries who are not so favorably situated. And, too, many hundreds of folks 
who have not traded with us before will look to us to supply them the roses they are unable to obtain 
through their usual source. 
The fruit tree shortage is probably still more critical than that of roses. Due to the exorbitant prices 
of all fruits the demand for fruit trees has increased several fold over pre-war demand, while the available 
supply is only a fraction of what it was a few years ago. 
This is a serious condition and one which the nursery industry, under present conditions, can do little 
about. You can help by purchasing only what you need and getting it early. 
Now, a few words about our catalogue: Following descriptions of most varieties we try to tell you 
heights plants will grow; locations for planting and approximate frost hardiness. Please understand this 
information is only approximate. Local differences of soil and weather require that we be not too definite. 
We'll be glad to go into details when we see you. 
We have tried to be as accurate in our information as possible. We believe no other nursery catalogue 
has done better. 
You are very busy these days, as is everybody else. If you 
haven’t the time or live too far away to see us often, phone 
or mail your order. We’ll send you the best we have. And in 
sending remittance don’t forget the 242% sales tax.
