Remember that We Give ‘farmer on the Strawberry^' 
collect them before shipping goods. We prefer that money be sent by Post- 
ofhce Order. It helps the government and in the end all of us. 
Figure up your order and deduct the fee cliarged you for issuing the money 
order, sending us the balance. We will not become responsible for the loss of 
postage stamps, coin or bills sent in ordinary letters, if not registered. 
Payments 
For plants or any goods listed in this catalogue must be made in advance. We 
will, however, send goods C. O. D. provided one-quarter of the full amount is sent 
with the order. We do not book orders in advance and hold plants unless one- 
quarter of the money is sent w'ith order. Please do not ask us to trust you for 
plants. We are too busy to conduct a credit business and, furthermore, we find 
that plants invariably do better when bought and paid for, than when the planter 
has little or no financial interest in them. We do not send plants on credit 
except to old and tried customers who have always paid promptly in the past. 
You run no risk in trading with us. We have been years in building up our 
business and are known to the trade. 
A Well Kept Strawberry Field In Blossom. 
How We Send Plants. 
We advise that small orders to distant points and all orders that weigh but 
a few pounds be sent by mail, or, as it is now called, Parcel Post. The moderate 
sized order of 10 pounds or more, except to very distant points, can be sent more 
cheaply by express. Large, bulky orders weighing 100 pounds or more can be 
often sent safely, even long distances, by fast freight, especially early in spring 
and late in autumn. 
Information About Parcel Post. 
We wish to Impress upon our patrons the fact that plants do not carry any 
cheaper by parcel post than they did before the new parcel post arrangements 
came into use. The zone system does not apply to plants or seeds. You can 
send a package of plants just as cheaply to California as you can to your next 
town. The cost is ^c per ounce or 8 cents per pound, regardless of distance. 
The only change is in the limit of weight. You can now send 11 pounds in one 
package, when formerly you could only send four pounds in one package. 
I mention this particularly because so many people seem to think otherwise and 
figure out the rate by the zone system and send us postage accordingly.
