YARNS 
With the distribution of this new 
1949 Catalog we announce the change 
in ownership and change in name of the 
Lindo Nursery to the Christian © John- 
son Company. 
In making this announcement we 
want first to give full credit to the 
founders of the business and its former 
owners for having developed what is 
probably the finest and most complete 
assortment of Camellias on the Pacific 
Coast, if not in the entire country. Their 
general nursery business also has been 
established on a sound foundation so 
that we assume ownership with both 
pride and confidence. 
The new owners, the Christian © 
Johnson Company, are well known in 
the field of plant culture and farm devel- 
opment and with them will continue the 
expert horticulturists and nurserymen 
who have been instrumental in building 
the reputation the Lindo Nursery has 
enjoyed for so many years. To these 
will be added, of course, our own corps 
of experienced men. 
All the established operations of both 
concerns will be continued and grouped 
in the one location. An idea of the extent 
of the services and merchandise now 
being offered may be gained by reading 
the brief summary on the inside back 
cover of this catalog.
