ni 3 \ If you: received your lilec order after November 2, it was 
We AAG probably a D.U.D. (Dug Under Difficulties}. On Nov.2 the 
\ \ ey temperature in our nursery dropped to 10°; then, just to 
Ponts make things more interesting, we got 12 inches of snow. 
‘fh a When we got back to work a week later, snow was still 
Fs 
about 5 inches deep. “Underneath, however, the ground 
om wasn't frozen, sa digging was gossible, With drifts 
<> in some places’2 to.3 feet deep neither truck nor wheel- 
barrows could be used in most of the nursery. Snow had to 
be shoveled away from the base of the plants; then they were dug in the usual way 
and carried by hand, two or taree at a time, up to the packing house. It was cer- 
tainly shipment-in-slow-motion, but by working day and night - but literally - we 
managed to put out more orders than we had ever thought possible, and we do want to 
express our deep appreciation te those customers who kindly permitted us to hold 
over their particular orders until spring.

SPEAKING OF SPORTS - It's a rare thing for a bush to "sport" - produce flowers or 
fruit on one branch different from those on the rest of the branches. Mrs.McKMelvey, 
in her famous book,THi LILAC,tells of a plant of Lucie Baltet in the Baltet Nursery, 
Troyes, France, reported to bear flowers of three cistinct shades of lilac-pink, We 
know of an old bush of Lucie Baltet that for years has borne on one branch flowers 
of a distinct lavender cast. A plant of Monge in our collection has sported a branch 
of exquisite pink blooms; some day we hove to propagate this as a fine new pink.
