Although the war 
has been brought to a victorious end it is still 
hard even impossible to secure choice stocks of 
some flower seeds that must be raised by ex- 
perts to be of the required quality. These choice 
stocks we used to get mainly from Germany. 
The war cut us off from this source of supply. 
We have left the description of such items in the 
catalog but where we do not quote the price it 
means that at present we have no seed on hand 
and may not have till the time when conditions 
in Europe as well as in other parts of the world 
will become normal.
