The war has created a severe shortage of many varieties 
of seeds. Some seed replacements will be impossible to ob- 
tain, while others will be at much higher prices. Therefore, 
we suggest you order your seeds early. Due to conditions 
existing beyond our control, prices are subject to change 
without notice.
