ORDER EARLY 
This year, more than ever, we suggest ordering 
early, as stock of a number of the varieties listed 
in this Catalog will be depleted before the height 
of the planting season. 
We also suggest that you check your stock in 
storage earlier this season than usual. . Roots in 
some sections of the country are not keeping well, 
due to the unusual growing season, amd there will be 
a general shortage of stock.
