READ BEFORE ORDERING 



ORDERS FOR STRAWBERRY PLANTS are filled 

 with Best Quality Plants backed by more than 35 

 years of honest and efficient services and with a keen 

 sense of my responsibility and consideration of my 

 patrons. Here in my nurseries at Showell, Md. I 

 have a large and fine stock of extremely large size 

 plants with an excellent root system that are healthy 

 and 100% true to name; therefore I can fill your or- 

 der with Perdue's Best Quality Strawberry Plants at 

 low prices and I will do everything hum^anely possible 

 to please you. Ideal weather conditions this year 

 enable us to offer the finest plants these farms have 

 ever produced. I thank you for your patronage and 

 solicit vour orders for strawberry plants this season. 



Thank you. C. S. PERDUE. 



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 perfect condition if they 

 are not delayed in transit. All of Perdue's plants 

 are well cleaned up and securly tied in bundles of 25 

 plants each, properly labeled. All plants are fresh 

 dug at time of shipment. 



EXPRESS is the best way to ship plants and gen- 

 erally satisfactory. 



PARCELS POST is usually better for small lots 

 in first, second and third zones and on small lots in 

 other zones if you are not convenient to an express 

 office. If requested will ship the best way in my 

 judgment. 



NO CHARGE for package and delivery to trans- 

 portation company. 



WRITE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS PLAIN- 

 LY and give correct shipping instructions. 



TIME OF SHIPMENT. November 1st to May 15. 



ORDER EARLY. Do not wait until you want the 

 plants. All orders are acknowledged as soon as 

 received. 



TERMS: Cash with order. Send correct amount. 



REMIT by postal money order, check, bank draft 

 or registered letter. 



While I exercise the greatest care to have every 

 plant True-to-Name I will not be held responsible 

 for any sum greater than the cost of the stock should 

 any not prove as represented. 



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 allowed to lay around your postoffice or 

 railroad station or neglect of purchaser to care for 

 stock after it has been received. I send out only 

 good stock, in good condition, and carefully packed

 mologist and State Pathologist.
