TWO COMPLETE NURSERIES TO SERVE YOU 
SAN FRANCISCO 
Our San Francisco Nursery and Garden Store 
was established at 343 West Portal Avenue 
in 1937 and enlarged and improved in 1940. 
The nursery and store evolved from a horti- 
cultural service founded in 1928 by Ju-! L. 
Christensen. While the San Francisco nurs- 
ery specializes in plant materials and garden 
supplies for the San Francisco area, the stock 
is representative of the most desirable plants 
for Central California gardens. Here you 
will find all of the plants listed in this boo 
and many more. 
BELMONT 
Our Belmont Nursery, consisting of seven 
acres, was Operated during World War II as 
a growing ground for the San Francisco Nurs- 
ery and immediately following the end of 
the war the large garden store, display rooms 
and office building shown at the right were 
constructed. This large building, comprising 
some 6000 square feet of floor space and the 
last word in modern garden store arrange- 
ment, was formally dedicated to the gardens 
of the Peninsula in March, 1946. In addi- 
tion to the thousands of plants grown here 
at Belmont, our customers will find literally 
everything for Outdoor Living, including a 
complete line of garden furniture, garden 
tools, sprays and fertilizers. 
Your Mail Orders 
Are Solicited 
The two complete nurseries place us in an excellent position 
to handle mail orders for our out-of-town customers. All 
facilities for prompt shipment of nursery merchandise are 
readily available to both nurseries. 
Complete instructions for placing mail orders, methods of 
delivery and shipping seasons will be found in the order blank 
inserted in this catalog. 
Phone Orders will be given personal attention by our sales 
staff. In San Francisco, telephone OVerland 4333; Peninsula 
residents telephone Belmont 196. 
Because of space restrictions we are not able to list every- 
thing in our catalogs available from our stock. Please tele-
