Happy Neu Year /

We are glad to say that we are arriving at the goals of quantity
producton and uniform quality that we set for ourselves when we
moved to this location three years ago.

Visitors are usually amazed at our systems of quantity produc-
tion and propagation. Our broad fields are filled with hundreds of
thousands of mother plants. This fall has been rainless and with the
exception of a few frosty mornings, good weather has kept up to mid-
winter. This permitted our crew to propagate steadily and we have
the largest stock of plants in our thirteen years of cactus growing.

Our improved methods have permitted us to steadily lower prices
until this list is the lowest priced we have ever issued. We expect
prices have reached bottom until the upward swing of labor and other
costs is checked. When looking over this list you will note that we
give the proper name and approximate size of all plants offered.

California Grown Dish Garden Assortments

The assortments we ship are well-rooted, clean and healthy
plants grown especially for the smal] pot plant and dish garden
trade. We ship them bare root, properly and lightly packed, so that
you may expect a hundred salable plants out of every hundred pur-
chased. Good plants are worth good packing.

Our assortments are not “loaded” with junk. They are carefully
selected kinds, in well-balanced assortments. We ship equal numbers
of each kind that we include, in all assortments, except Dog Tail
assortments. Those who buy in small lots and who are not thor-
oughly familiar with cactus and succulents, will find our assortments
more use‘ul than their own selections. We label free with printed
labels upon request. but only when lobeling is requested.
