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 inci- 

 dental to freight shipments are often 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, each plant is wrapped in paper and carefully packed 

 in open boxes. Plants when packed weigh from thirty-five to forty pounds per 

 100. It is not customary for nurserymen 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 the order, with return charges added. 

 Remit by Postal Money Order, Registered Letter, New York Draft or Express 

 Money Order. Always enclose remittance in same letter with 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. Thousand 

 rates quoted by letter upon request. 



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

 casionally 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 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 fail- 

 ure 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.
