INTRODUCTION 
Greetings for ‘53: 
We take great pleasure in presenting our catalog for 1953 for your 
approval. We also wish to thank our many customers of 1952 for their 
trust they put in us for our first year of shipping on a national scale. We 
are truly proud to have received the many kind praises for our plants. 
We have planted now about 2 acres of top quality plants of over 1000 
varieties of iris and daylilies. Within 24 hours after your order has been 
dug they are packed and shipped. Many orders on their way within 6 
hours after receipt of the order. We now have customers in 40 of the 
states and several countries. Well over 50 percent of our customers have 
sent us a second order proving how well they like our plants and service. 
If there are some varieties of plants you want that we do not list this 
year, feel free to write us about them. In closing we wish to say, ‘‘Our 
business is small, and we don't want all the orders in the world, but 
we do want yours.” 
John CW, Pegram 
TERMS: 
Cash with order, check, draft, or money order. All orders postpaid 
over 4.00 in the United States. On orders less, add 50c postage unless 
noted in catalog on collections. ‘ 
We guarantee our plants true to name and free from pests. Due to 
different garden conditions, we cannot guarantee our plants to live. If 
the plants do not live, we will replace at half price plus postage. This 
offer is good for 3 months after you receive your order. | might say now 
that last year to our knowledge only 1 plant failed to survive that we 
sent out and we made it good as soon as possible. 
Also, we would like to know if we may substitute on your order? 
This we seldom do. So would you be so kind as to include a separate 
list of plants you do not have and-would like. We are very generous in 
giving extras as many of you know. 
Our main shipping season is from June Ist till December Ist. Although 
we ship by special request at any time. Many people are finding out 
by ordering California grown plants early they are taking advantage of 
several months of growth and increase which gives larger clumps the 
following year. True many items are for the warmer sections, we also 
grow very hardy varieties too. 
A WELCOME: 
Although you are welcome at any time of the year, we give you a 
special invitation to drop by and enjoy our beautiful flowers with us. 
The blooming season reaches its peak ihe last week in April till the 
middle of May. This year, due to our warm weather, it looks as if it 
will be several weeks sooner. We are located mid-way between U.S. 99 
and U.S. 66, 4 blocks east of Peck Rd. North of Lower Azusa Rd. 3 blocks. 
Look for the sign. 
ALL PLANTS SOLD BY US ARE GROWN HERE AT OUR OWN GARDENS.
