The Supply —To the best of our 
information, 1919-20 
stocks of Rose Plants in this growing center, 
at the time of going to press with this list, 
average two-thirds sold (shipped, booked and 
reserved for retail catalogue orders). 
The Demand_has been so ex¬ 
ceptionally early and 
active, owing to the disappointments of late 
buyers during the spring of 1919, that earlier 
crops in some varieties have already been 
depleted or exhausted, while in other sorts 
they are yet fairly abundant and strong. 
The Moral 
— for the buyer is to 
authorize some latitude 
in the selection of varieties if possible; or, 
to name a delivery date somewhat later in 
the spring. 
We will have crops in quite a few varie¬ 
ties for late spring delivery.
