called to our attention after we had
filled the first 200 orders for the Of

scotsman then notified us that be
had bought up all the yellow flower
seeds available in Pennsy lvania and
New York and had cabled abroad for
more but that there was scant hope
tof receiving any response from the
cabled order, owing to the European
war.

orders were Soon Jusrlneu and since
then we have been roun ding up all

have selected for their gardens are
