FRENCH STOCK 
BULLETIN No. 1 
We cannot answer all the inquiries we are receiving for IMPORT SHIPMENTS. Can hire 
stenographers—but not dictators. Conditions are as follows—for present consumption only: 
Fruit stocks and Ornamentals. It is reasonably sure that shipments 
’^ill be made—though delayed a little. Freight rates a little advanced. 
Even if Paris is invested or again threatened by shipping time, shipments can be made down 
the River Loire to Nantes—thence to transatlantic ports. We can still book orders for all 
Fruit and Ornamental stocks. 
HOLLAND STOCK Roxwood, Roses, Rhododendrons, Maples, Herbaceous and general Nur¬ 
sery stock. There is practically no doubt that shipments will be 
made from all sources, Boskoop, Oudenbosch and Dedemsvaart. No advance in prices and 
likely no advance in freight rates. Can book orders for all lines and expect to ship in season¬ 
able time. , 
ENGLISH STOCK Manetti and Gooseberries. We expect to fill all orders complete as 
booked. -Shipments are reasonably sure. Freight rates likely ad¬ 
vanced a little. Very few Gooseberries available, but can still book Manetti orders % mm 
grade. 
RAFFIA 
Some shipments are coming through. Can take care of a limited num¬ 
ber of orders, though former offers are withdrawn. 
The war continues so does the import business. Our Belgium shipments are now arriving via Rotterdam—shipped 
from Ghent the week the German forces occupied that city—after previously dropping bombs. You cannot forecast 
the future—neither can we. Place your orders with solid resourceful houses—and leave the rest to them.
