General Information 
LOCATION 
Our nursery is located in Berrien County, 6y 2 miles west 
of U. S. 31, and 6 miles east of U. S. 12, on the Berrien 
Springs and Baroda road, in the heart of Michigan’s fruit 
belt. Our P. O. address is Baroda, Michigan, shipping point, 
Berrien Springs, Michigan. 
ORDERING 
Due to the drought and severity of the winter, there is a 
great shortage of fruit plants. We ask you to place your 
orders at once so that we may reserve the stock for you. Be 
sure to state how you want your order sent and give your 
post office, express office, or freight office address. BE 
WISE—ORDER EARLY! 
ACKNOWLEDGMENT 
Your order will be acknowledged same day as received and 
will have our personal attention and prompt shipment as per 
your instructions. 
SHIPMENT 
Begins about March 15th and lasts until May 15. We can 
ship your order any time you state in your letter, weather 
being favorable. We recommend parcel post as the most 
desirable method of shipment for small orders and express 
for larger orders. Raspberry, Blackberry and other heavy 
plants can be shipped safely by freight early in the season. 
However, all freight shipments go at customer’s risk. On late 
shipments, we advise to ship by express or parcel post. 
PARCEL POST 
Strawberry plants can be sent by parcel post. Transpor¬ 
tation charges are paid by the customer on receipt of stock. 
Through our many years experience in shipping nursery 
stock we find this method most satisfactory to customer and 
shipper. You pay the charges C. O. D., thus you pay only 
your exact charges. If flat transportation charge was made, 
customers living 300 miles from us would have to share the 
charges for those living 2,000 miles away. Parcels marked 
C. O. D. for delivery charges receive special attention of 
postal clerks and are automatically insured. If your parcel 
or any part of the contents is lost or damaged, you may 
notify us at once and we will make adjustment. 
TERMS 
We will book all orders when one-fourth cash accompanies 
the order. On One to Five-Dollar orders, cash before order 
is shipped. On larger orders cash before stock is shipped, 
if convenient, if not, we will ship C. O. D. for balance. 
REMITTANCE 
Send Express or Post Office Money Order, Draft or Regis¬ 
tered Letter; checks from responsible persons are also ac¬ 
cepted.
