WE ARE AT WAR 
America has turned to gardening, 
Victory gardens for food, flowers for 
home morale. Many have taken up 
gardening as a pastime due to a lack 
of transportation facilities for other 
pleasures. 
Most bulb growers are also growing 
food crops, many have entered the 
armed forces, others have had to quit 
due to losing their trained help which 
could not be replaced. Many will not 
have sufficient labor to dig their en- 
tire crops this year. We anticipate a 
good crop and are still carrying on. 
RESULT—The demand for bulbs 
in 1943 will exceed the supply.
