There t4 a@ nreadqou... 
for the gratifying number of cards and letters we 
receive in the mail each week. You see, Wilshire Gar- 
dens is still a relatively small coneern. Even though we 
carry national magazine and newspaper advertising 
and have several foreign countries represented in our 
customer files, the three of us still own and operate all 
phases of the Gardens. Some very competent people, 
mostly neighbors, help us during the busy seasons. How- 
ever, we read and cheek each ecard, letter and order 
received each day. In addition, we recheck, assemble 
and pack all orders, thus maintaining and improving 
the standards we have established in the last fifteen 
vears. This extra personal attention we give each ship- 
ment is our hobby; also, family pride and a very genuine 
interest in our customers’ wishes help to explain why 
... ‘there is a reason”.

YOUR FALL CATALOG 
The large and colorful Wilshire Gardens fall catalog will contain 
not only the proven varieties which we have grown for years, but 
also many new and unusual Daffodils, Narcissus, Tulips, Lilies, 
Hemerocallis, and numerous novel and rock garden bulbs. When 
you place your order this spring a copy is reserved for you. If, for 
some reason, you do not order this spring, send a post card to reserve 
your copy. 
RANUNCULUS 
Beautiful full double flowers in many 
shades. In severe climates they may be 
started in pots or planted out as early as 
possible in the spring. In the Northwest 
February planting is best. Cover only 2 
inches and keep the ground moist as the 
leaves are very delicate and will not come 
through the ground if it becomes dry and 
crusted,

we'll send the begonia booklet free, if you ask for it. The same offer 
applies to gladiolus and dahlias.
