Advice and Terms 



Pot-grown Strawberry Plants should be shipped by express ; they cannot well be mailed 

 on account of the heavy ball of earth at the roots, and the delays incidental to freight ship- 

 ments are often fatal to them. Plants^ when packed, weigh from thirty-five to forty 

 pounds per 100. It is not customary for nurserymen to offer ordinary layer plants until 

 late in the season, for the reason that, during the summer, the plants are putting forth 

 their runners and making their increase, and to disturb the beds at this season causes the 

 destruction and loss of thousands of unrooted plants. 



Knowing the characteristics of each variety, we can often make selections for our 

 patrons better than they can for themselves. When it is desired that we shall do this, 

 please state the general character of the soil to be planted — light or heavy — and whether 

 early, late or a succession of fruit is desired. 



We cannot accept an order of less amount than $1.00. 



Payments invariably in advance. Goods sent C. O. D. only when twenty-five per 

 cent, of the amount is forwarded with order, with return charges added. Remit by Postal 

 Money Order, Registered Letter, New York Draft or Express Money Order. Always enclose 

 remittance with the order. 



Everything offered in this pamphlet is packed free of charge and delivered to for- 

 warders after which our control ceases, consequently our responsibility also. State plainly 

 to what point goods are to be sent. The prices quoted are for pot-grown plants in all 

 instances and for the quantities specified ; but six and fifty of a variety will be supplied 

 at dozen and hundred rates, respectively. Less than 50 of a variety go at dozen rates. 

 We cannot accept orders for less than six plants of a variety. 



It is our custom, should the supply of a variety become exhausted, which occasionally 

 occurs in all nurseries, to substitute in its stead a similar sort. When it is desired that 

 we shall not do this, it must be so stated in the order. To simply affix the words "No 

 Substitution" is all that is necessary. 



Claims, if any, must be made upon receipt of goods, when they will be carefully and 

 cheerfully examined, and if just, all made satisfactory. Claims made after fifteen days 

 of receipt of goods will not be entertained. We send out only good plants, in good con- 

 dition, carefully packed in all cases ; but success or failure depends, in so large a degree, 

 upon care and management after received, that we do not, because we cannot, undertake to 

 guarantee stock to live. 



POT GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS BY PARCEL POST 



We will ship any of the varieties offered, by Parcel Post, if requested to do so. 

 However, in shipping by Parcel Post, we are obliged to remove much of the earth from 

 the roots, to reduce the weight; and this impairs the value of the plants to a considerable 

 extent. Rates of postage for shipment by Parcel Post to points within the United States 

 are as follow: 



First pound Each add. pound First pound Each add. pound 



or fraction or fraction or fraction or fraction 



1st and 5th zone. . 8c. 6c.

4th zone.. 7c. 4c. 8th zone.. 12c. 12c. 



Weight when packed: Pot Grown Strawberries, dozen, 3 lbs.; 100, 24 lbs. 

 Please be sure to send enough money to pay postage, in addition to cost of plants 

 ">rdered when shipment is to be made by mail. The surplus (if any) will be promptly 

 *^urned when shipment is made. 



CANADIAN SHIPMENTS 

 ^here is so much "red tape" and consequent delay in connection with shipments to 

 ominion that we do not solicit orders for pot-grown strawberries to be shipped to 

 lian points.
