BULLET N No. 3 
Since writing last Bulletin, we have received all Belgium shipments and are now receiving shipments from 
Japan, Holland and England in large volume. Shipments from France, Madagascar, Australia, etc., are also on 
their way to us. 
C L There is practically no doubt that December and February shipments will be made, al- 
^ tJtULiV most as in normal seasons, and at not excessive freight rates. The French Nurseries 
are located far from the scene of hostilities, the stock has made a good growth this season, the men taken from the 
Nurseries and offices by mobilization have been replaced and work continues as in times of peace. We can still 
book orders for all FRUIT and ORNAMENTAL STOCKS. 
IJ II _ J There is also but little doubt that Spring shipments will be made from all sources, Bos- 
^*^*^**^^^ iJtULIV Loop, Oudenbosch and Dedemsvaart on schedule time and at normal freight rates. Fall 
shipments continue to arrive. We can still book orders for Boxwood, Roses, Rhododendrons, Maples, Lindens, Her¬ 
baceous stock and all similar lines for Spring shipment at reduced prices. 
English Stock 
Raffi 
Some shipmments are now on the way across. Freight rates reasonable. Gooseberries 
are sold out but we can still book orders for English Manetti at usual import prices. 
la 
Shipments continue to arrive irregularly. Increased freight rate and war risk insur¬ 
ance raises our selling price a little, but we expect to take care of our regular cus¬ 
tomers while the war lasts. 
If you haven’t got our import prices on above lines, please write for them. The best way you can help others is 
to help yourselves—keep on plugging for business and keep on smiling.
