yf) Message We lk Wade x k * 
The bulb situation—both foreign and domestic—is at this time extremely unsettled. 
Weather conditions here and abroad have been most unfavorable. From all accounts 
there will be a shorter crop of almost all Dutch items—Hyacinths, Tulips, Iris, etc., than 
in many years. As a result, prices have been considerably advanced, even on early 
placed orders. As some items will definitely be short, may we suggest when ordering, 
that you permit us to substitute if necessary with the nearest size and/or nearest similar 
variety to that which you may want. If prices at time of delivery are lower than those 
listed, you will be given the benefit, if higher, you will be advised prior to shipment.

LILIES: The crop in the South is extremely limited. Therefore, we strongly advise 
ordering CROFT for Easter—there is no better—Estate for cut. These are both from 
the Pacific Northwest—the finest Lily growing section in the United States.
