Order Early 



It will insure you getting the varieties you want and it will help 

 us to get your plsuits shipped promptly when you want them. 



No Suimner Shipments 



Knowing that the results from summer and early fall planting 

 are usually unsatisfactory, and having no plants suitable for set- 

 ting that early, we make no shipments of Strawberry Plants in 

 the Summer or Fall, until November 1st. 



Do It Now 



Don't neglect to order plants this spring, thinking you can 

 make it up by fall setting. It can't be done. You cannot get 

 good plants then, and the chances would be against them even 

 if you could get good plants. 



Set Plants Early 



Experience has proven time and again that early setting of strawberry 

 plants makes a tremendous difference in the growth of the plants. In sea- 

 sons when the land you have available is not quite as good or well prepared 

 as you would like, or when the weather for growing plants is unfavorable, 

 early setting might well mean the difference between success and failure, 

 especially if prices are low. and an even greater loss if prices are high. 



Read on page 9 under "Time to Plant" of the big advantage we can give 

 to Northern berry growers. At the time your Northern plant grower can 

 dig his plants — you should be setting yours. We can have them there. 



How To Ship 



Express is generally satisfactory and the best way to ship plants if your 

 order is large, or if the distance is great. 



Parcel Post. Generally cheapest and most satisfactory for small ship- 

 ments and with larger shipments in adjoining and nearby States. 



Strawberry plants packed for shipment weigh approximately 4 pounds 

 per 100 plants. Make up your order, calculate the approximate weight, and 

 if you do not know your zone from Salisbury, Maryland, use distances given 

 below, or ask your postmaster. 



With the zone rate published below, you can easily calculate the amount 

 of postage to send. Be sure to send postage enough. If you should send more 

 than is required, the excess will be returned. If sufficient amount to pay 

 parcel post charges are not sent with the order, the plants will be sent by 

 Express collect, or by parcel post, C. O. D., for the amount of postage due, 

 as we cannot keep accounts and send bills for small items of postage.
