When To Order And How To Ship 
ORDER as soon as you have decided what varieties and how many you 
want. Write plainly so that I can get your name and address correctly for 
prompt acknowledgment of order and delivery of plants. 
EXPRESS is generally satisfactory and the best way to ship plants if 
your order is large, or if the distance is great. Express rates have been 
reduced 25% since last spring. * 
PARCEL POST is generally cheapest and most satisfactory for small 
shipments and with larger shipments in adjoining and nearby states. 
Strawberry plants packed for shipment weigh approximately 4 pounds 
per 100 plants. Perennials 1 pound each. Asparagus roots 6 to 12 pounds 
per 100 plants. 
Make up your order, calculate the approximate weight and if you do not 
know your zone from Lewes, Delaware, use distances given herewith or ask 
your postmaster. 
With zone rate published here you can easily calculate the amount of 
postage to send. Be sure to send postage enough as any excess will be re¬ 
turned. If sufficient amount to pay parcel post charges is not sent with order, 
the plants will be sent by Express collect, or by parcel post, C. 0. D., for the 
amount of postage due, as I cannot keep accounts and send bills for small 
items of postage.
