Our supply of most of the special stocks which we are offering is usually 
exhausted before the planting season. It seems that the demand for well-rogued 
stocks is increasing every year. We urge our customers, therefore, to place their 
orders at once, especially for those varieties which are the most important, because 
of the impending difficulty to obtain good seed when the rush has begun.
