Advice and Terms 



Pot-grown Strawberry Plants should be shipped by express; they cannot 

 well be mailed on account of the heavy ball of earth at the roots, and the delays 

 incidental to freight shipments are often fatal to them. Plants when packed 

 weigh from thirty-five to forty pounds per 100. It is not customary for nursery- 

 men to offer ordinary layer plants until late in the season, for the reason that, 

 during the summer, the plants are putting forth their runners and making 

 their increase, and to disturb the beds at this season causes the destruction and 

 loss of thousands of unrooted plants. 



Knowing the characteristics of each variety, I can often make selections for 

 my patrons better than they can for themselves. When it is desired that I shall 

 do this, please state the general character of the soil to be planted — light or heavy 

 — and whether early, late or a succession of fruit is desired. 



I cannot accept an order of less amount than one dollar. 



Payments invariably in advance. Goods sent C. O. D. only when twenty-five 

 per cent of the amount is forwarded with order, with return charges added. Re- 

 mit by Postal Money Order, Registered Letter, New York Draft or Express 

 Money order. Always enclose remittance in same letter with order. 



Everything offered in this pamphlet is packed free of charge and delivered to 

 forwarders, after which my control ceases, consequently my responsibility also. 

 State plainly to what point goods are to be sent. The prices quoted are for pot- 

 grown plants in all instances and for the quantities specified ; but six and fifty of 

 a variety will be supplied at dozen and hundred rates, respectively. 



It is my custom, should the supply of a variety become exhausted, which oc 

 casionally occurs in all nurseries, to substitute in its stead a similar sort. When 

 it is desired that I shall not do this, it must be so stated in the order; to simply 

 affix the words "No Substitution" is all that is necessary. 



Claims, if any, must be made upon receipt of goods, when they will be care- 

 fully and cheerfully examined, and if just, all made satisfactory. Claims made 

 after fifteen days of receipt of goods will not be entertained. I send out only good 

 plants, in good condition, carefully packed in all cases; but success or failure 

 depends, in sa large a degree, upon care and management after received, that I 

 do not, because I cannot, undertake to guarantee stock to live. 



Pot-grown Strawberry Plants by Parcel Post 



I will ship any of the varieties offered, by Parcel Post, at the dozen rate, if 

 requested to do so. However, in shipping by Parcel Post, I am obliged to remove 

 much of the earth from the roots, to reduce the weight; and this impairs the 

 value of the plants to a considerable extent.
