Advice, Terms, Etc. 
Our plants are carefully dug, thoroughly trimmed, tied in bunches pf twenty- 
five and packed in the best possible manner in light crates or boxes witli no extra 
charge to the purchaser and delivered F. O. B., Afton. All varieties of strawber- # 
ries I offer for sale are grown on my place and will be freshly dug at time of . 
shipment. 
Ordering. Please order your plants as early in the season as possible. Those 
who order early will get what they want while late comers are frequently disap- J 
pointed in finding that some varieties are sold out. Early in the season plants are 
dormant and will stand digging and shipping much better than after growth has 
started. Plants art; also lighter and express charges are less. If you cannot set the 
plants when! they arrive, heel them in, that is, plant them a few inches apart in a 
temporary bed. they can then be transplanted, with the earth adhering, with 
scarcely any damage. Plants heeled in early and transplanted later are much 
more valuable than those received late and at once planted in the permanent beds.

ance before shipment. Sums under $1.00 may be sent in one and two cent

t fiat actually paid usforthe stock. It practically never occurs that our stock is 
untrue, except in one instance where we received plant? from an introducer not
