About the Current Rose Shortage 
Since the preparation of this catalogue there have been many 
shortages developing .in the rose supply so that it may be difficult 
to fill orders unless you allow us to substitute intelligently in 
the same class, color, and price range. We refer especially to 
Hybrid Teas, both standard and novelty varieties; also Shrub Roses. 
Single Roses, Polyanthas, Floribundas and Hybrid Perpetuals and most 
Climbers will be in pretty good supply. 
We have good roses in many colors but believe it best to tell 
you in advance that those who insist on getting certain varieties 
may be disappointed. In order to avoid loss of time through cor- 
respondence, we shall assume we have your permission to substitute, 
our selection, in the event that certain varieties may be sold out, 
All orders are booked with this mutual understanding. Hach plant 
is always labeled with the true name of the variety. 
This is not our general practice under normal conditions but 
| has been made necessary by the acute rose shortage of 1946 due to 
the lack of skilled production labor during War Years, 
PLEASE BE SURE YOUR ORDER IS COMPLETE - AFTER MARCH 15 IT WILL BE 
IMPOSSIBLE TO ADD TO OR MAKE ANY CHANGES IN ORDERS ONCE THEY ARE 
BOOKED.
