As this catalog goes to the press, we feel confident that we will be 
able to furnish seed of all items listed. However, seed of quite a number 
of varieties, such as Phlox, Dwarf Verbenas, Grevillea, Coleus, Impatiens, 
etc. are still very scarce, and shortages are bound to develop as the 
season progresses. 
We urge all our friends to—ORDER EARLY—.
