ALTERNATE SELECTION LIST—This year supply ot 
some seed and plant items is short, due directly or in- 
directly to the war. An occasional kind won’t last the 
season out. A few that are expected from abroad also 
may fail to get through. While probably there won’t 
be many such, we suggest the advisability of giving on 
your order a few extra kinds for alternate choice, in 
case something happens to be out. Doing this will save 
correspondence and time, both yours and ours.
