Our Instructions to Purchasers of Plants 
ORDER EARLY. To avoid the usual rush at 
shipping time, place your order early, as it en¬ 
ables us to save for you the varieties ordered, and 
you are assured of getting varieties wanted. A 
25 per cent deposit on order will reserve plants — 
balance to be paid before April 1st. 
HOW TO SHIP. Express is most satisfactory on 
all large orders traveling a distance greater than 
the 3rd zone, or more than 300 miles. Parcel Post 
is cheapest and best way on all orders within a 
radius of 300 miles, which covers the 1st, 2nd, and 
3rd zones, and all small orders of a few hundred 
plants. 
HOW TO REMIT. Money order, registered let¬ 
ter, or check. Do not send loose currency. Ship¬ 
ments will be sent C. O. D. when one-fourth de¬ 
posit on plants accompanies order. 
OUR SHIPPING SEASON. Our regular shipping 
season on Strawberry plants opens October the 
16th and closes May the 10th : shipping all winter 
to sections where the conditions are suitable for 
Pall and Winter planting. We will fill orders up 
to May the 30th ; but at purchaser’s risk only after 
May 10th. 
LATE SUMMER SHIPMENTS. To accommo¬ 
date our customers who wish to set Strawberry 
Plants in late summer, we can fill a limited num¬ 
ber of orders beginning the latter part of August. 
Write for late Summer Price List. 
TRUE TO NAME. We use every precaution to 
have all plants true to name, as a label is placed 
in every bundle at time plants are counted. But in 
case a mistake should occur, it is mutually agreed 
and understood by the purchaser that we are not 
to be responsible for a greater sum than the cost 
of the plants should any prove otherwise than 
labeled. We do not have one complaint on this 
line in filling 50,000 orders. 
CLAIMS. A notice is mailed every customer 
whose shipment is travelling by express or freight. 
Note your card, when received, showing time ship¬ 
ment was made. If your order is delayed in transit 
an unusual length of time, carefully examine plants 
before accepting same from the carrier, having no¬ 
tation made on delivery receipt, showing condition 
of plants when accepted, and damage due you. 
Promptly return this receipt to us and we will re¬ 
fill order to extent of damage free of charge. All 
complaints for shortage or damage must be made 
within 5 days from time shipment is received. 
LAST BUT NOT LEAST. Prepart your land 
where the plants are to be set as early as possible 
and have plants on hand to set when planting time 
comes. Ninety-nine out of a hundred early plant¬ 
ings will prove successful if well planted and cul¬ 
tivated. 
Please write below the names of any friends or acquaintances that might be interested in our High 
Grade plants. We will gladly send extra plants for your trouble.
