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 ship- 

 ments are often fatal to them. It is customary for nurserymen not to offer ordinary or 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 offered we can often make selections for our 

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



We cannot accept an order of less amount than $1.00. 



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 remit- 

 tance with the order. 



Everything offered in this pamphlet is packed free of charge and delivered to forward- 

 ers, after which our control ceases, consequently our responsibility also. State plainly to 

 what point goods are to be sent. The prices quoted for strawberry plants 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. Less than 50 of a variety go at dozen rates. 

 We cannot accept orders for less than six plants of a variety of strawberries. 



It is our custom, should the supply of a variety become exhausted, which occasionally oc- 

 curs in all nurseries, to substitute in its stead a similar sort. When it is desired that we shall 

 not do this, it must be so stated in the order. 



Claims, if any, must be made upon receipt of goods, when they will be carefully and 

 cheerfully examined, and if just, all made satisfactory. Claims made after fifteen days of 

 receipt of goods will not be entertained. We send out only good plants and trees 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 we do not, because we cannot, undertake to 

 guarantee stock to live.
