HORTICULTURAL SPECIALIST 

IMPORTANT NOTICE 
All Orders desired by Parcel Post must 
be accompanied by a reasonable additional 
amount to cover postage. We must insist 
on this or send orders per Railway Express. 
Owing to shortages of gas and labor we 
cannot make deliveries at all, unless very 
near home. 
Many varieties of Bulbs are simply un- 
procurable this season, of some we have 
very small stocks needed for propagating 
purposes. In the case more especially of 
Tulips, supplies were never so limited and 
if there are varieties you will take as sub- 
stitutes please so indicate when ordering. 
Hardy bulbous plants can go into the 
ground until freezing up weather. Vir- 
tually all kinds are being received very 
late this year from the great growing 
areas and deliveries simply cannot be made 
as in pre-war days. 
While we will do our very best to fill 
orders promptly, some delay cannot be 
avoided during the rush season. In the 
case of Liliums a few kinds can be de- 
livered as early as August while a few 
cannot be sent until bulbs are properly 
matured in early November. We must all 
try to exercise some patience these days. 
There are certain bulbs not listed here 
which we may be able to supply but of 
which we are still uncertain as to delivery 
of. If there are items in the bulbous line 
you want and cannot locate in this or 
other lists, please advise us. 
We will issue a price list of trees, shrubs, 
vines, hardy perennials bulbs and other 
material about March 1, 1945.
