Instructions to Purchasers 



Orders — Should be sent as soon as possible after you receive the catalogue and I will 

 reserve plants for you and ship when wanted. In ordering be sure to write your name and 

 address plainly and give your postoffice, county and state, every time you write. All 

 orders acknowledged promptly ms soon as received, and notice will be mailed when goods 

 are shipped unless shipped by Parcel Post. 



Terms — Payments must be made in advance. Remittances may be made by Postoffice 

 Money Order, Registered Letter or Bank Draft. U. S. Postage Stamps will be accepted 

 for factional part of a dollar. If not convenient to remit full amount when order is sent 

 remit one-third of the amount of the order and I will book your order and hold for you 

 and you can send balance when convenient before shipment is made. 



I Guarantee — The safe arrival of plants when shipped by mail or express, by May 1st, 

 if taken from express office and opened on arrival and will replace any that do not, pro- 

 vided you will send me your express receipt and statement from express agent as to con- 

 dition and damage to plants, but cannot be responsible for plants allowed to lay around in 

 express office or for neglect of purchaser or his employee to properly care for same after 

 arrival. Nor can I be responsible for drought , floods, insects, etc., after planting, as these 

 are things over which I have no control. 



Shipping Season — October 20th until May 1st. Shipping thru the winter to the South- 

 ern states. Early spring is the best time to plant in the middle and northern states, just 

 as early as the ground can be prepared. EARLY PLANTING PAYS so be sure to plant as 

 early as possible for this may mean success or failure, and then the plants will stand 

 handling much better than when growth has started. All orders shipped after May 1st 

 sent at purchaser's risk but will use every precaution I possibly can to get the plants to 

 you in good condition. 



True-To-Narae — While I use every precaution to have all plants true to name and 

 guarantee to refund purchase price paid for same or replace with stock that is true, 

 should any prove otherwise, it is understood that in no case will I be responsible for any 

 sum greater than that actually paid me for the plants. 



Reference — The County Trust Co., (formerly The Eastern Shore Trust Co.), and the

Plants — Are dug fresh for your order from beds that have not borne fruit, trimmed 

 ready for planting and tied in bunches of 2G for 25 and packed in light ventilated crates 

 with plenty of dami) moss, which issures them reaching you in first-class condition. I 

 make no extra charges for crates or packing. A shipping tag with Certificate of Inspec-

STRAWBERRY CULTURE IN A NUTSHELL 



Plant early in the spring ; cut off all blossoms that appear the first year ; keep out 

 the weeds and mulch with straw after the ground freezes in the fall — Dean Ralph 

 R. Watts, in Market Growers' Journal.
