Soledad Gardens is owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. 
Lewis A. Walmsley, wholesale growers of florist’s specialties at 
this location since 1931. This is our first catalog since 1940 
when labor shortage curtailed volume in our business. We 
have been able to maintain our propagating stock of the better 
varieties of Cacti, Succulents, and Ivies. For the first time, this 
year, we are offering Chrysanthemums. 

Like Ferdinand and Stinkie, Uncle Sam still wants to spend 
the rest of his life reclining on his spine smelling a flower. With 
other flower growers, we approve of flower smelling. But we 
can't forget that the flowers are grown in prewar greenhouses, 
heated by prewar boilers that burn coal that is not being mined. 
Or in fields plowed with a prewar plow that isn't improving with 
age. We don't like to contemplate having to say, Move over, 
Uncle, move overl—For who wants to recline without a flower 
to smell?
