HOW TO ORDER. To Insure receipt 

 ot stock w hen wanted, order as early as 

 possible. Use our regular order blank, 

 as we can more quickly check and fill 

 order. Be sure that your name and 

 address are clearly written. In your 

 address give post office, county and 

 state, and state clearly to what point goods are to be sent. 

 It shipping address is different than residence post office, be 

 sure that you give us the correct shipping point. To avoid 

 error, and to check off plants when they arrive, keep a correct 

 copy of your order. Ladies will oblige us by prefixing their 

 names with "Mrs. ' or "Miss." No change or countermand 

 of an order may be considered as final without our written 

 consent. 



SIZE OF ORDER. Orders of less amounts than $L00 can- 

 not be accepted, and payments are invariably in advance. 

 Plants may be sent C. O. D., however, if 25 per cent of the 

 amount is forwarded with the order — with return charges 

 added. 



Six plants and fifty plants of a variety will be supplied at 

 the dozen and hundred rates, respectively. Less than fifty, 

 dozen rates; and orders for less than six plants of a variety 

 cannot be accepted. 



For lots of 500 or over, a discount of 10 per cent off the 100 

 rate will be granted. 



SUBSTITUTION. 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, properly 

 labeled, of course. 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. 



PACKING. Is executed with the utmost care. Special pains 

 are taken to pack lightly, thereby reducing the expense of 

 transportation to a minimum. All goods at prices quoted are 

 packed free. Everything is labeled. 



SHIPPING. Express shipments are 

 the most satisfactory for Pot-grown 

 Strawberry Plants. On account ot the 

 heavy ball of earth at the roots, they 

 cannot be mailed easily, and the delays 

 of freight shipments are oiten fatal to 

 them. 



Weight when packed: Pot-grown Strawberries, 5 lbs. per 

 dozen, 24 lbs. per 100. Please send money enough to pay 

 postage in addition to cost of plants ordered, when ship- 

 ment is to be made bv mail.
