Advice and Terms 



Pot-grown strawberry Plants should always be shipped by express; they can- 

 not well be mailed on account of the heavy ball of soil at the roots, and the 

 delay incidental to freight shipments are fatal to them. I can ship either by the 

 United States Express or Adams Express direct, and by any other express through 

 these companies. In packing, the plants are invariably removed from the pots, 

 each one wrapped in paper and carefully packed in open boxes. It is not custom- 

 ary for nurserymen to offer ordinary layer plants until late in the season for the 

 reason that during the summer the plants are running and making their increase, 

 and to disturb the beds at this time 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, light or heavy, and whether 

 early or late 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 25 per cent, 

 of the amount is sent with the order, with return charges added. Remit by Postal Money Order, Regis- 

 tered Letter, New York Draft or Express Money Order. Always enclose remittance in same letter with order. 



Everything offered in this circular 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 cases and for the quantities specified: but six 

 and fifty of a vaziety will be supplied at dozen and hundred rates respectively. 



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 " No Substitution," is all that is necessary. 



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. 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.
