ABOUT OURSELVES.
81 NEW GREENHOUSES erected during the past four years are devoted exclusively to growing plants for the mall order trade, and they
contain a greater variety of plants than any other greenhouse in the west.
Hundreds of plant orders are filled daily during the busy season:' small
plant orders can be mailed direct from the branch postoffice nearby. They
are located convenient to the electrio car line and fronting on Kingman
Boulevard, one of the finest driving streets in the city. Here we devote
fully 12 acres to fiowers, making the finest display to be found in the west.
THE WAREHOUSE on South Fifth street we have occupied for many
years for storage purposes only. L o.rge lots of seeds which come in after
ho.rvest, are thoroughly cleo.ned and then put away in this building and
held in readiness for the spring trade.
MAIL ORDER BUILDING.-our
trade has increased so constantly
that we purchased the ground at 20821(}'2l2 S. Eighth St. about six blocks
from the store, and.erected thereon a
large building specially arranged for
our trade. The r ailway tracks beside
the building give us unexcelled facilities for handling carload lots, and ~
are centrally located bet~een the va,.
rious freight depots. so that small
shipments can be made promptly.
Our mo.chinery is operated by four
electrio motors, and we claim that our
mills for cleaning seeds cannot be
surpassed. We can readily fill 2,000
to 4,000 orders per day in this building, and they are bo.ndled in such a
·i~;'~;s:~§:~~ co.reful way that errors seldom occur.
I,
Most of our employees have been with
us many years and appreciate the importance of each order, no matter
whethersmallorlo.rge, and no "green
hands" handle seeds in bulk.
SEED FARMS.-It requires the
seed crop from about 8,600 acres to
supply our trade and the farms are
widely isolated so as to avoid any danger of mixtures. Some seeds cannot
