Money may be sent at my risk by P. 0- money order, express money order, 
registei-ed letter, or draft on New York. Sums under $1.00 may be sent in one 
cent stamps. Payment invariably in advance. 
Our stock of plants is warranted true to name. We very seldom make 
mistakes, but if they do occur they are cheerfully corrected without loss to 
customers, if we are notified promptly. 
I commence to fill ordei's, when the season is favorable, about the first of 
April, and all possible haste is made in getting- the plants off. My customers 
are never more anxious to get their plants than I am to send them. We send 
out only good stock in good condition, freshly dug and carefully packed. 
The plants should be shipped as early in the spring as possible. They will 
go through in better condition and when planted make finer growth. 
Raspberry and blackberry plants can be sent by freight early in the spring 
in good OT-der at the purchaser’s risk. Strawberry plants go by mail or- express. 
It is always best to plant throe varieties; early, medium and late, so as to pi-o- 
long the season. 
The purchaser may select six plants at dozen rates, 50 at 100 rates and 
600 at 1,000 rates. 
Packing is executed with the utmost care. Special pains are taken to pack 
lightly, thei-efore reducing the express charges. 
The pistillate or imperfect varieties are usually, when well cultivated, the 
most productive, and for best results plant every third or fourth row to some 
perfect flowering sort like the Bederwood, Fountain or Brandywine marked per. 
We never substitute without instructions from purchaser. 
All varieties of strawberry plants that I offer foi- sale are growing on my 
place and will be freshly dug at time of shipment. 
Unless otherwise ordei-ed, we ship our plants direct from here by National 
Express. 
Order strawberi-y plants early, by all means, as eai-ly as possible. Lot us 
book your order while our stock is full, and then have them shipped so as to 
reach you at least one week before they are wanted. It is easy to hold plants 
over, but delay may be fatal, and it can only be certainly avoided by having 
the plants on hand in good time. 
If not prepared to send all of the money, send a part when the order -will 
be booked; the balance before shipment. 
It sometimes happens that we send two catalogues to one address. Should 
you receive more than one copy please hand the extra one to some friend who 
will be interested in it. 
By special arrangements we are now able to ship our customers by express 
to any part of the country, plants at the hundred pound merchandise rates, less 
a special reduction of 20 per cent, therefrom. Thus we secure for our custom- 
ers a low express rate on all shipments. 
Your name, postottice and state should be distinctly written, and be sure 
that neither is omitted. No matter if you write several times, always give full 
name and postoffice address.
