This part of our business has been organized so that we are in a position to handle orders for vegetable plants, 

 strawberry plants, hardy perennial plants, small fruits, shrubs, ornamental and fruit trees. The prices as quoted on 

 vegetables, strawberries and perennials include cost of dehvery. The other quotations are F. 0. B. Moorestown, 

 New Jersey, or such other point as may be designated. As is the case with aU other departments of our business, the 

 Plant Department wUl be conducted on the sohd principle that the buyer he pleased. If there is not complete satis- 

 faction on arrival of any item as listed it will be our pleasm-e to immediately make matters right on receipt of the first 

 notification. This Company is organized to serve its customers with consistent efficiency, and the Plant Department, 

 we believe, wUI do its fuU part in upholding this. 



Vegetable Plants 



Grown From Dependable Seed with a Guarantee of Satisfactory Delivery 



SENT BY PREPAID POST 



For the purpose of serving our trade, we have made 

 connections with plant farms along trimk line railroads 

 in Pennsjdvania and Virginia. We can thus regulate the 

 season of deliver to comply with the demand, whether 

 it be from the north, south or west. Parcel post trains 

 average from seven to eight hundred miles in every 

 twenty-four hours, thus bringing us as close together as 

 neighbors. It is quite usual for plants to reach their 

 destination the day after shipment is made. 



LETTUCE 



In a great many instances customers will find it 

 inconvenient or \mprofitable to grow their own plants 

 of such items as cabbage, cauliflower, celery, pepper, 

 tomato, etc. We have, therefore, made complete arrange- 

 ments by which we can supply you with these. If you 

 have confidence in the seed which we sell, you may have 

 equal confidence in the seed from which these plants have 

 been grown. Furthermore, inasmuch as we guarantee 

 that they will arrive in good condition, what more could 

 be offered? The plants are grown right, and the prices, 

 which cover deUvery by parcel post, include cost of mailing. 



PLANTS WELL GROWN AND 

 WELL PACKED 



By planting strong, well-hardened plants, you ynW help 

 insure the efficiency of your garden, and thus increase 

 your profits and success. The plants we offer you are 

 gro-wn from reliable strains of seed. Experience has taught 

 us how to grow these successfully, and, what is of the great- 

 est importance, how to pack them so that they will carry 

 successfully. We are using a well-ventilated carrier for 

 this purpose. Small home gardeners, as well as large 

 truck growers, can well afford to consider our offerings of 

 vegetable plants, wth the greatest care. Our services 

 and prices will be equally satisfactorj' for both kinds of 

 garden operations. 



A COMPLETE GUARANTEE 



Our guarantee thoroughly protects you. You take no 

 chances, for if any plants fail to reach you in good con- 

 dition, notify us within twenty-four hours and it will be a 

 pleasure for us to replace them. In making complaint, be 

 sure to mention the variety and the number of plants 

 needed to make rnatters square. 



Don't forget to grade closely. A No. 2 in a No. 1 

 basket is out of place. If placed in its own company it 

 will sell for all it is worth. Why want more? 



Don't forget the handle on your basket, as a neat, 

 handy package says in plain English, "Take me along." 

 The other kind is uninviting.
