A Few Words About The Future 
There is no experience of the past which affords a rule to be followed under 
the conditions prevailing now. However, there is ample indication that demand for 
florist products will far exceed the supply and if the future may be gauged by the 
situation prevailing this spring it is going to be advisable for the florist who can 
to produce as much in his own establishment as possible. Seed items are not in 
any surplus now and there is a grave likelihood of real shortage this coming season, 
far beyond anything most tradesmen visualize now. One of our largest growers in 
the seed growing industry has already notified the trade of a 35% cut in acreage 
for the 1943 growing season. We strongly advise our customers NOT to buy more 
seed than you can use BUT BE SURE OF YOUR SEASONS NEEDS JUST AS 
EARLY AS YOU CAN. Order early. We’ll do our very best to serve you.
