Order Early 
It will insure you getting the varieties you want and it will help 
us to get your plants shipped promptly when you want them. 
No Summer Shipments 
Knowime that the results from summer and early fall planting 
are usually unsatisfactery, and having no plants suitable for set- 
ting that early, we make no shipments of Strawberry Plants in 
the Summer or Fall, unt] November Ist. 
Do It Now 
Don’t neglect to order plants this spring, thinking you can 
make it up by fall setting. It can’t be dome. You cannot get 
good plants then, and the chances would be against them even 
if you could get good plants. 
Set Plants Early 
Experience has proven time and again that early setting of strawberry 
plants makes a tremendous difference in the growth of the plants. In sea- 
sons when the land you have available is not quite as good or well prepared 
as you would. like, or when the weather for growing plants is unfavorable, 
early setting might well mean the difference between success and failure, 
especially if prices are low, and an even greater loss if prices are high. 
Read on page 9 under “Time to Plant” of the big advantage we can give 
to Northern berry growers. At the time your Northern plant grower can 
dig his plants—you should be setting yours. We can have them there. 
How To Ship 
Express is generally satisfactory and the best way to ship plants if your 
order is large, or if the distance is great. 
Parcel Post. Generally cheapest and most satisfactory for small ship- 
ments and with larger shipments in adjoining and nearby States. 
Strawberry plants packed for shipment weigh approximately 4 pounds 
per 100 plants. Make up your order, calculate the approximate weight, and 
if you do not know your zone from Salisbury, Maryland, use distances given- 
below, or ask your postmaster. 
With the zone rate published below, you can easily calculate the amount 
of postage to send. Besure to send postage enough. If you should send more 
than is required, the excess will be returned. If sufficient amount to pay 
parcel post charges are not sent with the order, the plants will be sent by 
Express collect, or by parcel post, C.O.D., for the amount of postage due, 
as we cannot keep accounts and send bills for small items of postage.
