the coming season. The unfortunate disorder known as "stunt" 
has caused widespread losses and it will be necessary for a 
great quantity of the stock to be replaced. Also there will

this stage is entirely free of this disastrous malady and 
we are using every precaution to keep it that way. 
We expect to have a greater quantity of mum cuttings 
available this season than ever before but not nearly enough 
to fill the demand. It is our intention and desire to be 
Sure that you, one of our regular mum cutting customers, are
