Report to Our Customers 
It is two years since our last report to you — and again we wish to express 
our thanks for all the interest and helpful suggestions. 
We have one change in personnel, Richard A. Hall (Dick), who has taken 
Andy’s place. Our Pancho is married and works here part time now. 
We have transferred our news letter to the garden pages of the Palo Alto 
Times in order to reach more people. Watch for it. 
Many interesting things have been added to our catalogue and we are trying 
out the use of a few pictures. Let us know if pictures or descriptions are more 
helpful. 
We intend to publish a catalogue once every two years, so HANG ON 
TO THIS ONE. 
Please do come throughout the year, whenever you can, to see the plants 
in bloom. For those who are not familiar with perennials, a look is worth 
hundreds of words of description. 
Our hours are from 8:30 A.M. to 12 noon and 1 to 5 P.M. daily, except 
Mondays and legal holidays. In December and January, when you shouldn’t 
be planting perennials anyway, we will be closed Sundays and Mondays.
