“ 1935 ” 
For thirty-four years we have been selling strawberry plants by cata¬ 
logue only, filling all orders with strictly fresh dug, true-to-name, high grade 
stock of our own growing. We can sometimes ship during January and 
February, depending on the severity of the winter, but after March first we 
are able to dig and ship daily until May first. After May first we can ship 
out a limited number of orders. 
We do not store plants under any conditions, and will always replace any¬ 
thing that may reach you in bad condition, providing the transportation 
company has given it proper dispatch. If it has been too long on the road 
refuse to receive it. We will then refill your order and get our pay from the 
Express Company. 
We would prefer your check or Bank Draft in payment for plants, for 
please remember that our terms are Cash with Order. We cannot undertake 
to do a credit business at the price at which our plants are sold. To serve 
you at the lowest cash price is, we believe very distinctly to your advantage. 
We will book your order and hold the plants a reasonable time awaiting your 
remittance. 
All our plants are fresh dug, carefully cleaned, tied in bunches of 27 
(counted as 25), labeled with wood labels, neatly packed in slatted crates, 
none of which are more than 12 inches deep, and all of which are 12 inches 
wide. A Certificate of Inspection accompanies each package. We have an 
absolutely clean bill of health. 
Some of our old friends are interested in knowing why we have changed 
our location. It is for the following excellent reasons: 
First: We have an abundance of labor. We can ship promptly. 
Second: Virgin territory. Strawberries have never been grown here, 
even in home gardens. 
Third: Very low production costs. A saving passed on to you. 
Fourth: Unexcelled shipping facilities. Both by express and mail. 
Fifth: An unlimited area of ideal soil. No plants grown twice in the 
same place. 
Our best references are our thousands of satisfied customers, many of 
whom have been with us for twenty-five years or more, but if you are inter¬ 
ested in a Bank reference kindly write Vaughan & Co., Bankers, Franklin, Va. 
Enclose stamp for reply. 
We have faith in strawberries. An observation that is swiftly verging 
into fifty years gives us this faith. They do not always pay, but they do 
pay oftener than any crop we know. 
In order to help in a low production cost for all our customers, we are 
making low prices. This does not mean that the quality of the plants is not 
of the highest, for it is. In all our experience we never have grown better. 
They are produced in a warm sandy soil that gives to you all the fibrous 
roots, so necessary to a quick start in their new home. They are true-to- 
name. They are packed right. They are priced right. We can fill your 
order for a dozen or a million, and, of course we want to do it.

If an old customer and you buy, we know we shall get your order. If 
you have not used Jones’ plants before let us have your order this year. We 
can save you money and serve you well. 
With all the good wishes of the Season, we are, 
Very respectfully yours, 
J. W. JONES & SON.
