IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING 
FLOWER SEEDS 
The available supply of Flower Seeds for 
the coming season is short. The European 
War has made it impossible to import many 
varieties which American seedsmen depended 
on securing from foreign growers and also 
such other items as were not being produced 
in this country. On top of this California 
flower seed growers have been seriously 
handicapped in production because of labor 
shortages. 
We believe, therefore, it will be 
good business for you, Mr. Florist, to pur- 
chase at once such flower seed items as you 
may anticipate using during the next few 
months.
