Book excerpt: Written by her daughter Myrtle Shepherd Francis the biography of Theodosia Burr Shepherd chronicles the life of the brilliant feminist of the nineteenth century who was the first woman in America to hybridize flowers and own and operate a seed and bulb business which she established in 1881 in Ventura, California. Known as the "Flower Wizard of California," Theodosia founded California's seed industry. Revered by many as the "Female Luther Burbank," she hybridized flowers in Ventura while Burbank created new vegetables and fruits in Santa Rosa. "Theodosia Burr Shepherd has blazed a trail for other women to follow." Susan B. Anthony Suffragette Activist, 1896 "The Woman Flower Wizard, Mrs. Theodosia B. Shepherd, is to the world of flowers all that Luther Burbank is to the vegetable kingdom." Pittsburgh Gazette, 1894 "The intelligent and energetic Theodosia occupies the proud position of the pioneer of floral horticulture and of the seed and bulb business." Peter Henderson, Horticulturist, 1896

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from California Wild Flower Seeds: List No. 5 As an aid to the grower we have in some cases added the species habitat. When no habitat is noted the plant is found throughout California. Plants widely distributed are native also outside the Pacific Coast region. Alti' tude is given as an indication of hardiness. We have stated plants to be hardy in other localities only when we have had specific reports to that effect. We will appreciate receiving such reports on the adaptability of California native plants to various climates and countries. Heights given are average. Plants are perennial unless otherwise indicated. California annuals are best in effect when massed and are well adapted for use in eastern gardens, where they should be sown as soon as frost is over. Most of them require good drainage, light soil, shallow sowing and little water when established. Note special quantity prices for certain species of wild flower seed for naturalizing.
