| From Carl Salbach catalog, 1929: SAN DIEGO. This derivative of Gaudichau and El Capitan is identical in color with the former but by actual comparison is a great improvement in size, height, form and finish.

Stems 46 inches. Sold only in sets this year. If stock permits it will be offered in 1930 at $10.00 |
