THE WAR AND THE 1941 PRICES 
LL seedsmen have found to their sorrow that the present conflict in Europe has put almost in- 
surmountable difficulties in the way of securing adequate supplies of many varieties of seed 
and bulbs formerly secured abroad. Many varieties of vegetable seed, flower seed and bulbs 
can no longer be purchased at any price or at prices well above those prevailing, except in a few 
instances during 1918-1919. 

We have raised prices in some cases such as mangel, cauliflower, onion, spinach, carrot, as well as 
some flower seed, all of which are very short in the United States. 
As always we have in every case attempted to maintain the same high standard of quality regardless 
of cost to us, for we realize that the cost of seed is a very small part of the total value entering into the 
mature crop. We have refrained from buying cheap or questionable supplies even though in many eases the 
wholesale price had more than trebled. Quality of seed more than the price paid is the determining factor 
in the production of satisfactory crops whether it be flowers for home or market, vegetables for home or 
for sale, mangels for cattle or plants for the wayside stand. 
We regret the advance in prices but trust that our customers will have confidence in our efforts to 
supply quality seed, plants and bulbs as always.
