OUR 1945 RELEASES 
Since, due to war conditions, we were not able to exhibit at any shows the 
last three seasons, we are introducing these varieties at quite low prices with the 
hope that many people will be induced to try them and exhibit them at local shows, 
thus giving many more the opportunity of seeing and admiring them. These prices 
will not be lowered rapidly and may in some cases be naised in. following years.
