Friends for 1952 we wish to extend to all of you our sincere thanks. For 
the many fine orders, also the grand cards and letters of praise we are 
most grateful. We appreciate greatly your generous offers of testimonials 
for printing in our catalogue. However to keep down printing costs we have 
decided this year to let our plants and flowers speak again for themselves. 
In keeping down costs we are able to offer the same choice plants to you 
at reduced prices. We offer no collections in the catalogue for 1952. Re- 
ducing prices enables you to make your own collections choosing varieties 
you possibly do not now have. 
As we are hybridizing as well as growing fine Iris and Daylily hybrids, 
and have been in horticulture for the past forty-five years, both under glass 
and out of doors, we feel certain we are qualified to know the best; therefor 
we offer you only one grade—the finest. | 
Iris and Daylily hybrids can be grown successfully by anyone. If you have 
never grown them you are really missing a grand treat. 
The newer hybrids are vastly different from the early type flowers. 
Gorgeous in color and flower types. Thrilling to all who see them unfold 
for the first time each continuous year. 
We hope you will favor us with an order this season, as we feel sure we 
have the best, and can please you whether the order is large or small. 
Please remember California grown plants are hardy, therefore can be 
successfully grown even in the coldest sections of the United States. 
We grow our own stock. Ship anywhere. Ship only freshly dug live plants 
on orders. Guarantee good condition on arrival. 
Prompt Service — State Inspected.
