Trade List Of Select Flower Seeds PDF Download

Excerpt from Contract and General Trade List of "California's Choicest Flower Seeds Since 1890" Crop 1933 All our seeds are grown under the personal supervision of our staff of trained horticulturists, combining the latest in scientific methods with the vast fund of practical knowledge which has developed during the course of our three genera tions of flower seed growing. We value the Medals and Awards of Merit won by our Flowers at horticultural exhibits, but place a higher value on the universal preference being manifested throughout the world by seedsmen who know and appreciate superior types and strains. Our method of selecting and hand-picking enables us to maintain our reputation as Growers of the best. In our forty-two years of Flower Seed Growing we have made an intensive study, not only of types and colors, but also of the climatic and soil conditions in which each class of Flower Seed may be produced to the best advantage. A well balanced mixture cannot be grown as such in the field, since certain colors mature earlier than others. We, therefore, produce all of the important mixtures, such as Asters, Zinnias, Larkspurs, Sweet Peas, Verbenas and Cosmos, in separate colors, and make up the mixtures, using the correct proportions of each color to make a well blended, brilliant mixture when reproduced the first season from seed. These mixtures we generally offer as Finest Mixed, while our Good Mixed is grown in the field as mixed. For this reason we list in some instances both Finest and Good Mixed.
