No C. O. D. Shipments. 
We have made our prices on a cash basis, 
and guarantee safe arrival of plants, which in- 
sures you against any loss.

If your order does not arrive promptly, or is 
in bad condition, let us know at once. If it is 
the fault of the Express Co., have them make 
a memorandum of the same on your Express

boxes on retail orders. 
Rush Orders.

Distance Telephone in our office. 
One Dollar Orders. 
We like nice large orders, but to become ac- 
quainted and introduce our well grown plants 
to you and your friends, we will gladly book 
your order for as low as one dollar. Please do 
not send any order for less than one dollar, as 
the cost of Booking, Piling, Receipting, Pack- 
ing, and other labor costs us more than the 
plants. 
Shipping Season. 
Our soil and situation enables us to make 
early shipments. We are near the Indiana 
State Line, and being within two miles of 
Lake Michigan, which is one of the largest 
bodies of fresh water in the world, whose sur- 
face is never entirely frozen over, this pre- 
vents the soil in its immediate neighborhood 
from freezing very deep and when a few warm 
days of spring come we are ready to fill your 
orders. 
Early Shipments. 
Our shipping season commences the latter 
part of March and should close the middle of 
May. 
Second Choice. 
Mention your second choice in your order. 
This will not be necessary until late in the 
spring when we may be sold out on some vari- 
eties you want. 
True to Name. 
- We take great pains to have our plants reach 
you true to name. If not, let us know at once 
and we will replace same free of charge, but 
we will not be responsible for any greater 
amount than was originally paid for the plants. 
If plants are not as guaranteed let us know 
upon arrival of same.

When you buy our plants you are starting 
right. They are perfect in every way, and the 
results will be more than satisfactory. Nowhere 
will any person be able to produce a finer crate 
or box of berries than you can from our Lake 
Zone plants. We want you to know this. 
PROGRESSIVE 
The Wonderful Everbearing Strawberry 
Other Everbearers come and go, but Pro- 
gressive stays at the head of the list. As the 
Progressive bears all the time, you gain noth- 
ing by planting anything else. 
For small gardens we recommend hill cul- 
ture. The plants should be set in the open, 
not under trees or shrubs. 
We have tried all of the commercial kinds 
of Everbearing strawberries, but find none near 
as good as PROGRESSIVE, which bears all 
the. time. What more could you ask? 
If you have help and only a small piece of 
ground you can make money easier and surer 
by planting PROGRESSIVE Everbearing 
Strawberries. Some growers, where they take 
good care of their berries, get as high as one 
dollar per quart. We have heard of single 
acres bringing as high as $1,500.00. Remember, 
there is absolutely no risk taken; when you 
set Everbearing PROGRESSIVE, you get 
your money back right off. Set in April, you 
can commence to sell berries in the fore part 
of July, and then on until it gets too cold to 
pick them, and still they are full. The plants 
have ripe berries on them at all times, good, 
large, red, sweet, luscious, berries. 
If you like berries get our sure-bearing 
PROGRESSIVE.
