(MM CROPSy STRAWBERMS^tdHOW TO GROW THEM 
Read Carefully Every Paragraph Appearing on These Pages 
Before making up your order, so that you may know our 
rules and terms, and thus avoid possible misunderstandings. 
Our Terms 
CASH should accompany each order. No res- 
ervation of plants will be made unless the 
order is accompanied by remittance. If the 
amount of the order is $5.00 or over, you may 
remit not less than one-third of the amount when 
ordering. The balance due on your order should 
be paid on or before April 15. Orders sent in 
after March 15 should be accompanied by full 
payment to insure prompt delivery. 
No order will be accepted for less than $1.00, 
as the cost of handling is too great when the 
amount falls below that sum. 
We send no plants to anybody, no matter what 
his financial standing, until plants are paid for. 
We do not ship plants to anybody C. 0. D. Do 
not ask us to do so. 
All orders are booked in the rotation in which 
they are received. The earlier they come in the 
more certain will be the patron of securing the 
plants of his choice. Orders for early shipment 
are best, too, for the reason that the plants are 
in better form to transport and transplant early 
in the season. 
We would advise customers in northern lati- 
tudes to have plants shipped early and heel them 
in for a week or two, if necessary, rather than 
have them shipped after the season becomes too 
far advanced. 
Unless a specific date is named for shipping, 
plants will be forwarded at the proper time for set- 
ting out in your locality as nearly as we can judge. 
When sending an additional order, do not fail 
to refer to your former order. 
When asking to have any change made in an 
order already booked ample time for making such 
change on our records should be allowed, as during 
our shipping season it sometimes requires several 
days to have such change made. 
Do not ask us to ship your order with that of 
another party unless you advise us distinctly that 
it is satisfactory to all concerned. The balance 
due for both orders must be in our hands before 
shipping time, otherwise the shipments would be 
held up and possibly neither customer would be 
able to secure the varieties desired. 
It is our purpose to acknowledge all orders 
promptly, but frequently letters are lost in the 
mails. Should you have occasion to write us con- 
cerning lost orders be sure to give the date on 
which you mailed your order, amount and form 
of remittance enclosed, name of party to whom 
plants are to be shipped, and their destination. 
With this information in hand it will enable us to 
make a prompt investigation. 
Reports for any shortages in plants should be 
made promptly upon receipt of plants. Do not 
wait until plants are set before counting them. 
Your count should be made as soon as consign- 
ment is delivered— keeping a strict account of the 
number of each variety; also count the number of 
boxes or packages received. 
How to Remit 
A LL remittances should be made by postoffice 
or express money order, or by bank draft or 
registered letter. No other way by mail is safe, 
and we shall not be responsible for any currency 
or coin sent in a letter. The clearing house as- 
sociations all the country over have adopted a 
minimum rate of 10 cents for exchange on all 
personal checks, and we shall be pleased to have 
you comply with above request and thus save 
this expense. 
No order will be accepted that is accompanied 
by a check dated in advance. 
Be very sure to note that remittance is correct- 
ly made out before mailing. 
Our Guaranty 
riTH our careful methods of labeling plants it 
would seem quite impossible that a mistake 
should occur in the matter of varieties, but we 
gviarantee our plants to be true to label with the 
express understanding that, if a mistake occurs, 
we are to be held responsible for no damages be- 
yond the amount paid us for the plants. We can- 
not, and will not be, in any way responsible for 
the crop. 
All orders accepted by R. M. Kellogg Co. are 
subject to the crop yield of plants, which is be- 
yond our control. 
Dates for Shipping 
UR shipping season at Three Rivers opens be- 
tween March 25 and April 1, depending upon 
weather conditions, and closes May 25. 
Our shipping season at Twin Falls begins some- 
what earlier, usually from March 10 to 16, and 
closes May 20. 
We cannot urge too strongly the importance of 
filing your order and having your plants come for- 
ward at the earliest possible moment that your 
weather and soil conditions permit. Ninety per 
cent of all losses occur as a result of late planting. 
All orders to be shipped from either Three Rivers 
or Twin Palls should be sent to our Three Rivers 
office. We do not make summer or fall shipments 
from either of our farms. 
Plants by Parcel Post 
IN order to save our customers the annoyance 
and trouble of determining the amount of post- 
age required for their order, we have decided to 
make a flat rate on each hundred plants or frac- 
tion thereof to the various zones as follows : 
Zones 1 and 2, 5 cents per hundred plants; 
Zone 3, 10 cents per hundred plants; 
Zone 4, 15 cents per hundred plants; 
Zone 5, 20 cents per hundred plants; 
Zone 6, 25 cents per hundred plants; 
Zone 7, 30 cents per hundred plants; 
Zone 8, 36 cents per hundred plants. 
We calculate the cost of postage on the basis of 
three pounds for each hundred plants, but as the
