PARCEL POST 
If you are in the States listed in Group No. 1 (Ohio, Mich., 
Ind., Ill., Wis.) most shipments can be sent by Parcel Post 
as cheap as by Express. On small shipments (300 plants or 
less) Parcel Post is cheaper. 
When you get beyond States in Group No. 1 on 400 plants 
or more, Express is generally cheaper. Consult the table 
below and determine the amount of postage to add to your 
order. If you are in doubt, the shipment can go forward 
and you pay postage at your end, but it costs 17c for each 
C.O.D. shipment. 
EXPRESS SHIPMENTS 
Where possible, we suggest that customers have their ship¬ 
ments of 400 or more plants come by express, especially if 
they are beyond States in Group No. 1. Shipments by Ex¬ 
press are always insured by the Express Company against 
loss or damage. This would cost extra (17c) by parcel post. 
Express, we believe, is safer, quicker, and in many cases 
cheaper, nowdays.

GRADE NO. 1-A in STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
To this grade belong those plants that grew and developed in those 
parts of the nursery row that enabled them to develop above the 
average. Just like apples on trees in an orchard—the graders always 
find a few that can be placed in the fancy basket. These Grade No. 
1-A plants are not very plentiful, depending upon where and how 
they grew in the nursery row, but as long as we have them, custom¬ 
ers can secure them at very little extra cost. Those desiring this 
Grade No. 1-A should get their orders in early to have them reserved for we 
always sell out before the end of the season. Those ordering this grade after the 
latter part of April should give us the privilege of supplying the No. 1 Grade 
should we be sold out on our Grade No. 1-A. By doing so it will prevent delay 
in getting your plants to you should we be sold out on Grade No. 1-A. Additional 
No. 1 Grade plants will be sent to make up the difference in cost. Please instruct 
us in this regard, otherwise we will assume the responsibility and fill your order 
the best we can.
