Because of the war 
It is impossible to secure choice stocks 
of some flower seeds that must be raised 
by experts to be of the required quality. 
These choice stocks we used to get 
mainly from Germany. The war cut 
us off from this source of supply. We 
have left the description of such items 
in the catalog but where we do not 
quote the price it means that at present 
we have no seed on hand and may not 
have for the duration of the war.
