INTRODUCTION 
HI THERE ! 
Well another year has passed by and again we take pleasure in 
saying a special hello to all of you. Thanks so much for all the nice 
letters and we wish that we had time to answer them with longer 
messages. And another big thanks for all the orders that were sent 
our way last year. We hope that this year you will favor us, with your 
trust in our plants for if it wash't for your orders you wouldn't have this 
little catalog in your hands right now. 
We have about 2 acres of plants for your gardens just waiting to be 
ordered. In the past year we moved to our new office and have added 
better shipping and packing facilities so as to speed your order fast as — 
possible. This year we are again asking you to please give us a few days 
lee-way in shipping your order for the orders really pile up thru July and 
August. We still like to ship at the time the customer wishes instead of 
shipping: in rotation. : 
And now another word about California plants. They are completely 
hardy except those listed as tender. Many other gardens say California 
plants are no good but just ask them where they get theirs from and 9 
out of 10 will say California. 
Now for our own little special report about ourselves. This past Fall 
we had the pleasure of visiting many of our customers thru- “gut the 
country and now are better able to understand their problems in garden- 
ing. Thru the Southern states we saw the results of the long drought which 
made gardening almost impossible and realized why some of our plants 
didn't survive. Right now we also want to say thanks for all the hos- 
pitality that was extended to us to make our last vacation the most 
memorable thing that ever has happened to us. We sure hope that this 
coming season will bless you all with a lot nicer weather than you had 
last year. 
Although you are welcome here at the gardens any time we now 
extend a special invitation to visit us at blooming season and enjoy our 
colorful show along with us. The blooming season reaches its peak about 
the last week of April till about the middle of May. We are located mid- 
way between U. S. 66 and U. S. 99, 4 blocks east of Peck’ Road, north 
of Lower Azusa Road 3 blocks. From the west take the Ramona Freeway 
to Rosemead Blvd. Then north to Lower Azusa Road, east to Cogswell 
Road. Then north 3 blocks to Hallwood Drive. From the east take Peck
