French Seedlings 
If yours arrived complete—in good condition—well-graded 
and properly packed—promptly handled and at minimum 
importing expense,— stick to your present source of supply. 
We can’t offer more. But —if you didn’t get all this, 
our customers did and if you are interested, we will refer 
yon to some of them in your own state and you can ask 
them about DELAUNAY’S grading and packing and the 
service and expense. The proof of the pudding is the 
pudding, you know. 
War conditions in France—labor shortage, use of land for 
food crops, etc.,—make seedlings scarce this year. We 
can take care of our regular customers and some others. 
Complete 1917-1918 list is ready. Ask for it. Ask De¬ 
launay Customers anywhere wha’: they think about his 
stocks and our service.
