seeds that must be raised by experts to be of the 
required quality. These choice stocks we used to get 
mainly from Germany. The war cut us off from this 
source of supply. We have leit the description of 
such items in the catalog but where we do not quote 
the price it means that at present we have no seed 
on hand and may not have for the duration of the 
war,
