SPECIAL: All the items of expense in growing and shipping strawberry plants have advanced sharply; therefore I am 

 growing and listing only the very best varieties in cultivation now. The supply available for the 1942 trade is far below 

 normal. When ordering the Dorsett be sure to make second choice. On account of the terrific shortage of strawberry 

 plants, I will probably not advertise them in the Farm Magazines this season. Please send in your order as early as 

 it is convenient for you to do so. Delivered prices on request. 



Send orders direct to C. S. Perdue, Showell, Md. Telegraph Berlin, Md. Phone Berlin, Md. 13 F 3. 



READ BEFORE ORDERING 



EXPRESS is the best way to ship plants and generally 

 satisfactory. We have a low express rate. 



CLAIMS, if any, must be made upon receipt of the 

 plants. I cannot become responsible for misfortunes caused 

 by insects, drought, floods, etc., also for stock that is al- 

 lowed to lay around your postoffice or railroad station or 

 neglect of purchaser to care for stock after it has been re- 

 ceived. I send out only good stock, in good condition, and 

 carfully packed with a Certificate of Inspection from our 

 State Entomologist and State Pathologist. 



REFERENCES. Calvin B. Taylor Banking Co., Berlin, 

 Md.; Baltimore Trust Co., Selbyville, Del.; Postmaster, 

 Showell, Md. Please enclose a three-cent stamp when writ- 

 ing my references. 



TIME OF SHIPMENT. November 1st to May 15. 



NO CHARGE for package and delivery to transportation 

 company. 



WRITE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLAINLY and 



give correct shipping instructions. 



ORDER EARLY. Do not wait until you want the plants. 

 All orders are acknowledged as soon as received. 



C. 0. D. Postage is the best way to ship plants 

 parcels post. You do not have to include the 

 amount of postage with your order. In this way 

 you pay your Postmaster the exact amount of 

 postage plus 12c additional for the Money Order 

 and return it to me. It is very difficult to cor- 

 rectly estimate the exact postage required for 

 each package of plants. 



TERMS: Cash with order. Send correct amount. 



REMIT by postal money order, 

 registered letter. 



check, bank draft or 



While I exercise the greatest care to have every plant 

 True-to-Name I will not be held responsible for any sum 

 grater than the cost of the stock should any not prove as 

 represented. 



PACKING. Perfect packing is my motto. The plants 

 are packed for shipment in slatted boxes and crates with 

 plenty of damp moss and are guaranteed to reach their 

 destination in peifect condition if they are not delayed in 

 transit. All of Perdue's plants are well cleaned up and 

 securely tied in bundles of 25 plants each, properly labeled. 

 All plants are fresh dug at time of shipment.
