OUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION 
To grow only the best kinds. 
To grow more of them. 
To grow them better. 
To keep on packing well and shipping promptly. 
To keep our nursery weedless and pest free. 
To do business with a bigger smile so that we may keep 
our many friends and make more of them. 
A LOOK FORWARD 
During the past year we increased our field plant- 
ings, graded a new flat yard and equipped it with con- 
crete bars to carry thirty-five hundred flats, built a cloth 
house to accommodate five hundred flats and a glass 
house to take care of another five hundred flats. All 
this means we can grow a million more plants a year 
for you than we have in the past. 
PRICES 
We do not happen to be a seventh son or the son 
of a seventh son but we think we can safely prophesy 
a raise of prices in the future if present hourly wages 
are raised by thirty per cent. We know we would have 
to raise ours or else quit and go fishing. 
COME AND SEE US 
Before the year is over, many of you will make that 
long planned-for trip to California. You will find our 
place interesting. There is nothing in the whole coun- 
try like it. Cactus growing is a business with us. We 
are beginning our seventeenth year in it.
