Instructions to Purchasers 



Orders — Should be sent as soon as 

 possible after you receive this catalog- 

 ue 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, coun- 

 ty and state every time you write. 

 All orders acknowledged promply as 

 soon as received, and notice will be 

 mailed when goods are shipped.

 in advance. Remittance may be made 

 by Post Office Money Order, Regis- 

 tered Letter or Bank Draft. U. S. Post- 

 age Stamps will be accepted for frac- 

 tional part of a dollar. If not con- 

 venient to remit full amount when or- 

 der 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 be- 

 fore shipment is made. 



I Guarantee — The safe arrival of 

 plants when shipped by mail or ex- 

 press, by May 1st, if taken from ex- 

 press office and opened on arrival and 

 will replace any that do not, provid- 

 ing you will send me at once your ex- 

 press receipt and statement from ex- 

 press agent, as to condition and dam- 

 age to plants, but cannot be respons- 

 ible for plants allowed to lay around 

 in express office or for neglect of pur- 

 chaser, or his employee to properly 

 care for same, after arrival. I guaran- 

 tee all plants shipped by me to be true 

 to name and will refund purchase price 

 paid for same, or will replace with 

 stock that is true to name any that 

 prove otherwise, but it is understood 

 that in no case will I be responsible 

 for any sum greater than that act- 

 ually paid me for the plants. 



Shipping Season — from the time 

 you receive this catalogue until about 

 May 10th. 



My Plants — are dug fresh for your 

 order from new beds that have not 

 borne fruit, trimmed ready for slant- 

 ing and tied in bunches of 26 Tor 25 

 and packed in light ventilated crates 

 with plenty of damp moss which in- 

 sures them reaching you in first class 

 condition. I make no extra charge for 

 crates or packing. A shipping tag with 



Certificate of Inspection purchaser's 

 name and full address is attached to 

 each and every package sent out. 



Reference — The Central Bank, and 

 the American Railway Express Co. 

 both of Salisbury, Md., also Dunn's 

 Commercial Agency. 



Care of Plants When Received — 



If for any reason you are not quite 

 ready to set plants when received, al- 

 ways unpack plants carefully separat- 

 ing each variety, and untie bundles and 

 heal in V shaped trenches, dampen the 

 roots but not the tops, firm soil around 

 them with foot and shade the roots 

 from sun. Plants can be kept a month 

 in this way. For northern customers I 

 recommend this method and advise 

 ordering early in April when they are 

 dormant and will stand handling safe- 

 ly; also will be there ready to set at 

 the most favorable time. 



Parcel Post Shipments — I recom- 

 mend that small packages be shipped 

 by parcel post up to fifth zone. Large 

 packages and longer shipments by ex- 

 press. If wanted by parcel post add to 

 prices quoted on page 6 as follows: 

 first and second zones 8c per 100; 15c 

 per 250; 25c per 500; 50c per 1000. 

 Third zone 12c per 100; 15c per 250; 

 84c ner 1000. Fourth zone 20c per 100; 

 40c per 250; 68c per 500; $1.25 per 

 1000. Fifth zone 25c per 100; 50c per 

 250; 



Dewberry Plants and Asparagus 

 Roots — Add for each 100 plants 20c in 

 first and second zones; 30c in third 

 zone; 40c in forth zone; 65c in fifth 

 zone. 



Substitution — Very often late in the 

 season I run short on some varieties 

 therefore when you order please state 

 if I may substitute if I am sold out on 

 the varieties wanted. Unless you do 

 this I take it for granted you do not 

 want me to substitute and will return 

 money for varieties I may be out off. 

 If you tell me to substitute I will send 

 as good or better varieties if possible 

 and of same season as the varieties 

 ordered. You run no risk in ordering 

 of me, for if I am sold out of the var- 

 ieties wanted I will return your money 

 unless you tell me I can substitute.
