OUR INSTRUCTIONS TO PURCHASERS OF PLANTS 



ORDER EARLY. By placing the order early 

 you are assiired of getting just what the order 

 calls for. This is often not the case with late 

 orders. 



HOW TO SHIP. Express is most satisfactory 

 on all large orders when the distance is far. 

 Parcel Post is O.K. on all orders in the 1st. 2nd 

 and 3rd Zones, and all small orders of a few 

 liundred plants. See PARCEL POST RATES 

 on page 29. 



HOW TO REMIT. Money Order. Registered 

 Letter, or Check — do not send loose currency. 

 We will ship C.O.D. when one-fourth cash ac- 

 companies the order. 



TIME OF SHIPMENT. We commence to ship 

 plants October loth and ship all winter to sec- 

 tions where the conditions are suital)lc for fall 

 and winter planting, and up to May 1st. We 

 will fill orders up to May 80th. hut at purchaser's 

 risk only after May 1st. We will also fill a lim- 

 ited number of orders during September at 50% 

 above list prices so as to accommodate our cus- 

 tomers only. 



25 PLANTS. All Strawberry Plants are tied 

 twenty-five to a bundle and labeled. We make 

 no extra charge for packing. 



TRUE=TO=NAME. . We use every precaution 

 to have all plants true-to-name, but in case a 

 mistake should occur, it is agreed that we are 

 not to be responsible for a greater sum than the 

 cost of the stock should any prove otherwise 

 than labeled. We do not have one complaint on 

 this line in filling 100,000 orders. 



CLAIMS. If your order is delayed an unusual 

 time in transit, carefully examine plants before 

 accepting same from the Transportation Co. — 

 have a notation marked on your Express bill 

 showing damage due you. Promptly return this 

 Receipt to us and Ave will refill the order and 

 make claim on the carrier. A notice is mailed 

 every customer the day shipment is made. Don't 

 fail to call for plants promptly when notified. 



LAST BUT NOT LEAST. Prepare your land 

 wlu^re plants are to be set as early as possible 

 and have plants on hand ready to set when the 

 day comes. Ninety-nine out of a hundred early 

 plantings will i)rove successful if well planted 

 and cultivated.
