Flower growing is a fascinating business, and the great 
acres of the Western flower seed growers are an irresistible 
lure to many hundreds of people each June and July, when 
the crops are at the peak of their bloom, and whole val- 
leys are carpets of color. Both the Lompoc and El Monte 
offices of Bodger Seeds Ltd. see an almost endless stream 
of visitors during the late spring and early summer. Many 
are seedsmen, come to look over the crops with a pro- 
fessional eye, but others are enthusiasts connected with 
horticulture in various different ways. Work is never too 
pressing to spare a moment to take visitors through the 
trial grounds, or around the modern plant at the home 
office in El Monte. You are welcome, any time and any 
season. The best time to see Lompoc is in May and June, 
El Monte in July and August. Chances are you will meet 
several of the men whose pictures are on these pages; 
they will do their best to make your visit both pleasant 
and informative.
