Mission Garden:

Of all the perfume fragrances sold by the California Perfume Company over its 53 years (before transitioning fully over to the 'Avon Products, Inc.' moniker), Mission Garden remains one of the most popular treasures among CPC collectors.

As seen below, this fragrance line only sold from 1922 to 1928: six years. Thus, Mission garden qualified for the "shortest production run of all major CPC fragrance lines." What is meant by 'major' CPC fragrance line is that under that particular line perfume, toilet water, talcum powder, sachet powder, etc., were all sold.

The low sales precipitating Mission Garden's drop from the CPC fragrance line-up is the very reason collector's go crazy for the opportunity to own even one little item from this line—there are extremely few to be had. Soooo, if you are fortunate enough to get the chance to buy one of these goodies, do it!!!
