Order Early! 
The demand for bulbs this season is the best we have 
ever experienced. Unfortunately stocks the country over 
are considerably depleted because of the widespread drought 
of last season. Many varieties will inevitably be sold out 
long before planting time. To avoid disappointment get 
your order in an early as possible.
