Catalogue of Thoroughbred Strawberry Plants 



19 



This industry will probably be our life 

 fpork, and it is our purpose, not to see 

 how many orders we can fill today, with 

 just anything, so it is a strawberry 

 plant regardless of how grown or the va- 

 riety ordered, but to furnish good plants 

 properly grown and true to name, so 

 that we will merit your order and your 

 neighbor's order in the future, and we 

 take this opportunity of thanking the 

 many customers of the past for their lib- 

 eral patronage, and the many kind 

 words of encouragement received from 

 them. It will be our constant study in 

 the future, as it has been in the past, to 

 try to give perfect satisfaction to the 

 old as well as new customers who en- 

 trust their orders to us; our success, we 

 feel confident, depends wholly on the 

 satisfaction we may be able to give our 

 patrons. 



Claims, if any, must be made immedi- 

 ately on receipt of plants. We cannot be 

 responsible for treatment after receipt, 

 or misfortune caused by drouths, floods, 

 improper treatment or other causes. 



Express Charges. — The reason we a,d- 

 vise shipment by express is because 

 plants are more or less peri.shable, 

 and the quickest tran.sportation is best 

 for satisfactory results. And. then Express 

 Companies allow a reduction of twenty 

 per cent from the regular mei-chandise 

 rate on plants, bulbs, etc., and bill the 

 shipm.ent at the number of pounds 

 iveight. 



Approximate Weight of Plants. — Ap- 

 proximate weight of orders containing 

 assorted varieties packed for sliipment 

 is: 



1000 plants 20 pounds; 2000 plants, 35 

 pounds; 5000 plants, 80 pounds; 10000 

 plants 150 pounds. 



Then to determine the probable ex- 

 press charges inquire of your agent for 

 the merchandise rate to Salisbury, Md., 

 frum which deduct twenty per cent, and 

 figure according to the approximate 

 weights.
