NOT EASY To Grow Trees From SEED 
Redwoods, other trees, and rare foreign plants 
are difficult to grow from seed. Damp-off dis- 
ease may kill a whole bed of seedlings in 24 
hours. If you sterilize all utensils, soil and 
water—protect from air-borne infection — and 
guess the needs of each kind correctly, you 
MAY succeed. Most people who try seeds, buy 
our started plants later—losing a year of time. 
Seed of many of our RARE plants is NOT for 
sale—some of it costs more than its weight in 
gold to obtain. 
REDWOOD TUBS—for sale empty OR with tree 
installed in tub—crated. Labor of transferring 
tree to tub, is quite o job with trees that weigh 
100 to 250 Ibs. (Labor included.)
