About Ordering, Remitting;, Shipping, etc. 



HOW BEST TO REMIT. 



Remittances should be made either in the form 

 of a P. O. Money Order, Batik Draft, Express 

 Money Order, Express Purchasing Order or 

 Registered Letter. Remittances in any other 

 way are entirely at the sender's risk. 



Orders from unknown correspondents, not 

 accompanied by a remittance, should send New 

 York reference — to save delay. 



If goods are wanted C. O. D., 25 per cent, of 

 the amount must accompany the order. 



ABOUT PACKING AND SHIPPING AND 

 NO CHARGE MADE. 



We make no charge for packing excepting for 

 cloth bags and no charge for cartage or delivery 

 of goods to any railroad station, steamship line or 

 express office in New York City. 



The safe arrival is guaranteed of all non- 

 perishable goods sent by express to any part of 

 the United States or Canada and we guarantee 

 arrival in good condition of all strawberry and 

 vegetable plants, sent by express or mail where 

 transit does not exceed three days. 



HAVE YOUR PLANTS SENT BY EXPRESS. 



They will reach you in better condition than by mail. We have secured for our customers from 

 express companies twenty per cent, reduction in express rates on plants from New York. Heretofore 

 they have been carried at the regular merchandise rate, but now they will be taken at a special rate, 

 which is twenty per cent, less than merchandise rates.

NEXT SPRING, 



We grow our strawberry plants in 

 pots, they are much superior to the ordi- 

 nary ground layers usually sold, as there 

 is no loss of fine roots in taking them up, 

 and they can be shipped safely to distant 

 parts cf the United States and Canada, 

 and be transplanted at any season, and 

 it scarcely checks their growth ; conse- 

 quently, if planted before the 15th of September, they will grow into large plants and bear a full crop of 

 berries next spring, being a clear gain of a year over '" ground layers," which is certainly worth more than 

 the slight difference in first cost. 



The blossoms of strawberries are either bisexual (perfect flowering) or are 

 destitute of stamens and are termed pistillate or (imperfect flowering.) 

 Pistillate varieties must have a row of a perfect-flowered sort, planted 

 every nine or twelve feet apart among thetn, or, better yet, every third or 

 fourth plant in the row, to pollenize their blossoms. When properly fer- 

 tilized the pistillate varieties are the most prolific.
