Sorry, but our Fall Bulb Department has gone into storage, perhaps 
for the duration. Found we couldn't keep on with it and at the same 
time grow at Old Orchard our share of the larger ouantities of seeds 
needed for a country at war. Not enough obtainable help to do both. 
Crest of the fall bulb season comes during seed harvest, and there 
just aren't enough of us to gp around. We have greatly increased our 
acreage of vegetable seeds, and of course we grow flower seeds, too. 
we are all working out on the seed farm as much of the time as we cane 
That goes even for the office clerks, stenographers and tvpists. They 
have been valiant help . We feel that the actual production of seeds 
is about the most important thing we can do right now, so for at least 
the present, we put the fall bulb and plant end into abeyance. This 
does NOT apply to seeds. we are ready to trike care of your seed or- 
ders with prompt efficiency, and since we are growers, we expect 
to have a FULL LINE OF LATEST CROP FLOWER AND VEGETABLE SEEDS AL- 
WAYS AVAILABLE. We ship seeds Bic rns day in the year. Please 
let your orders come forward.

It is worth the having, an interesting, well-illustrated book 
of 66 pages that lists and describes some 3000 desirable kinds. 
Latest issue is OFFER 39, so marked on cover. Old customers have 
it now. New inquirers will receive it within two or three days af- 
ter they get this folder. If your copy is lost, or does not come, 
let us know and we will quickly send another.

that need cold, seeds that should be sown outside in period Sept- 
ember-December, germination to be expected in spring.
