VISITORS TO THE CALIFORNIA SPRING GARDEN SHOW 
IN OAKLAND LAST APRIL WILL REMEMBER OUR DISPLAY, ‘“‘A VICTORIAN 
GARDEN”, THE SILVER MEDAL WINNER. WE WERE PLEASED TO RECEIVE MANY ENTHUSIASTIC COMMENTS ON OUR EXHIBIT FROM OUR 
OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS. THE GARDEN WAS DESIGNED BY MR. NED RUCKER, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT. 
McDONNELL’S NURSERY HAS “EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN” 
SHRUBS AND TREES: When we opened our nursery in December, 1931, 
it was with the intention of producing the best bedding plants that 
could be grown. We still do that but as our business grew we were 
called on to supply shrubs and trees, roses and bulbs, sprays and 
fertilizers of the same high quality as our bedding plants. 
From time to time we have extended our nursery to keep pace with 
the widening scope of our operations. We have always grown our own 
bedding plants to insure quality and recently we have added to our 
nursery a department devoted to growing a part of our ornamental 
shrubs. Whether or not the shrubs and trees you purchase from us 
are grown by us, you can be sure that they are well grown, true to 
name and of the best varieties obtainable. 
IT’S EASY TO VISIT OUR GARDEN 
STORE AND NURSERY 
Our nursery is easy to reach, located between 51st Street and

SEEDS AND BEDDING PLANTS: We personally select our varieties 
at the principal seed growing farms and buy the best seed obtainable 
regardless of price. In growing, each group of plants is given the 
proper soil and care to insure sturdy, healthy growth and we offer 
only stock that will produce best results in the gardens of our customers. 
FERTILIZERS AND SPRAYS: We carry nationally known products 
that have proven suitable for use in this locality and some special lines 
that have been developed for use under our local conditions. When 
we have supplied plants of high quality we are interested in their 
getting the best possible care in your garden and for that reason you 
can depend on the sprays and fertilizers we recommend for use on 
them.
