scarcity of labor and paper ceases we expect to issue an illustrated 
list again. 
We are trying to keep prices as low as possible, and this list 
will take the place of previously published prices. Postal charges are 
inciuded but very large bulbs and clumps will be sent express collect. 
Some collectors! items which are not commercially profitable have 
been regretfully discontinued, but we are still raising a few choice 
novelties the numbers of which are strictly limited.
