The collections consists of one box of hand-painted California botanicals in hand-bound books. Each book is based off of the b=flower family, and the cover is labeled in Latin. The first page provides information on the flower families and many of the images have notes about where you can find each plant and the months they are in season. Inside one folder is a 1938 California wildflower survey, detailing what flowers bloom in what cities, and a 1938 forestry survey about California wildfires. Another folder contains hand written notes and copies of newspaper clippings about local botanists and wildlife. Gardening brocures are included.
