 FULL CROP 



Luscious Strawberries 

 NEXT SPRING. 



We grow our strawberry plants in pots, they are much superior to the ordinary ground layers usually sold, as there is 

 no loss of fine roots in taking them up, and they can be shipped safely to distant parts of the United States and Canada, 

 and be transported at any season, and it scarcely checks their growth ; consequently, if planted before the 15th of Septem- 

 ber, they will grow into large plants and bear a full crop of berries next spring, being a clear gain of a year over " ground 

 layers," which is certainly worth more than the slight difference in first cost.

Flowering Strawberries. 



,.<*'■ 



The blossoms of strawberries are either bisexual {perfect flowering) or are destitute of 

 stamens and are ten?ied pistillate or {imperfect flowering.') Pistillate varieties must 

 have a row of a per feet- flowered sort, planted every nine or twelve feet apart among 

 them, or, better yet, every third or fourth plant in the row, to pollenize their blossoms. 

 When properly fertilized the pistillate varieties are the most prolific.

About Ordering, Remitting, Shipping, Etc. 



HOW BEST TO REMIT. 



Remittances should be made either in the form of an Express Money Order (which is the best and safest method 

 of remitting), or a P. O. Money Order, Bank Draft or Registered Letter. 



Customers can also shop by express, as all express companies have purchasing departments in all their offices. If you 

 wish to order goods from us to be sent by express, ask for a Purchasing Order Blank at any express office, and it will be 

 supplied and forwarded without charge, other than usual rates for returning goods. 



If goods are wanted C. O. D., 25 per cent, of the amount must accompany the order. 



Orders from unknown correspondents, not accompanied by a remittance, should send New York City reference, to 

 save delay. 



ABOUT PACKING AND SHIPPING AND NO CHARGE MADE. 



We make no charge for packing excepting for cloth bags and no charge for cartage or delivery of goods to any railway 

 station, steamship line or express office in New York City. 



The safe arrival is guaranteed in good condition of all strawberry and vegetable plants, sent by express or mail where 

 transit does not exceed three days. 



HAVE YOUR PLANTS SENT BY EXPRESS. 



They will reach you in better condition than by mail.. We have secured for our customers from express companies 

 twenty per cent, reduction in express rates on plants from New York. Heretofore they have been carried at the 

 regular merchandise rate, but now they will be taken at a special rate, which is twenty per cent- less than 

 merchandise rates.
