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 shipments are often fatal to them. Plants when packed 

 weigh from thirty-five to forty pounds per 100. It is not customary for nursery- 

 men 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, I can often make selections for 

 my patrons better than they can for themselves. When it is desired that I 

 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. 



I cannot accept an order of less amount than one dollar. 



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 forwarders, after which my control ceases, consequently my 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. 

 Orders for 500 or more may be made up at thousand rates, in any way desired, 

 provided not less than fifty of a variety is called for. Less than 50 of a variety 

 go at dozen rates. I cannot accept orders for less than six of a variety. 



It is my 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 I shall not do this, it must be so stated in the order. To 

 simply affix the words 4 'No Substitution" is all that is necessary. 



Claims, if any, must be made upon receipt of goods, when they will be care- 

 fully and cheerfully examined, and if just, all made satisfactory. Claims 

 made after fifteen days of receipt of goods will not be entertained. I send out 

 only good plants, in good condition, carefully packed in all cases; but success 

 or failure depends, in so large a degree, upon care and management after 

 received, that I do not, because I cannot, undertake to guarantee stock to live. 



Pot-grown Strawberry Plants by Parcel Post 



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

 However, in shipping by Parcel Post, I am 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. For table of rates of postage for shipment by parcel 

 post, see page 11. 



CANADIAN SHIPMENTS 

 There is so much "red tape" and consequent delay in connection with 

 shipments to the Dominion that I do not solicit orders for pot -grown straw- 

 berries to be shipped to Canadian points.
