Gentlemen:

In answer to many inquiries we have received as to just when contract orders for Flower Seeds should be placed, we hand you herewith on a separate sheet some information relative to the time our seeds are planted, harvested, and ready for shipment.

In connection with the placing of contract orders it is of the utmost help to us to have such orders on file before our planting is done. Orders for early planted varieties, suoh as Sweet Peas, should be placed, if possible, in September or October. All other Items should be ordered as early as possible.

It Is our custom to accept as contract those orders received up to May 1st, after which date orders are accepted only subject to seed being available.

We ask you to give this matter your serious consider¬ ation, and suggest that you record this letter for

future reference.

Yours very truly,

BODGER SEEDS, LTD.
