SHALL WE SUBSTITUTE? 
At the beginning of the season, we are able to fill all orders ex- 
actly as given. As the season advances, we often run short of a few 
varieties. It is well to name a second choice if your order comes in 
late in the season, or give us permission to substitute another variety 
of equal or better value of the same color. i
