About Transportation 
Plants by freight go at first class rates. If the order is large, so that 
the box is not easily lost, we advise sending most kinds of plants, early in 
the season, by fast freight, except strawberry and tip raspberry plants 
(black caps). Plants by express travel at regular merchandise rates, less 20 
per cent. Plants by mail go at 8c per pound. We do not like to send by 
mail except in small quantities and to very distant points. They do not 
carry quite as nicely as when sent in baskets or light crates by express. For 
postage and extra care in packing, we charge 30c extra per 100 for straw¬ 
berries and 75c per 100 for raspberry and similar plants, when sent by mail. 
It does not matter whether you pay the express charges at your end or send 
us the money to pay them at this end, they should always be the same and 
figured at regular merchandise rates, less 20 per cent. 
Oswego County, 
Where we live, is the natural home of the strawberry. The climate is cool 
and invigorating. It abounds with numerous summer resorts of national 
reputation. Plants grown in this cool climate are healthier and more heavily 
rooted than when grown in warmer climes. They do better when trans¬ 
planted to other places than plants grown where the weather is always 
warm. Berries of all kinds from Oswego County are justly famous and 
bring the very highest prices in all the great city markets of the East—New 
York. Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and even in far distant 
Chicago. Our plants, like the berries grown here, are the best to be had.

Location and Facilities 
Our farm, office and packing houses are located one mile south of F'u- 
laski, which is a thriving village of nearly 2,000 inhabitants with all the 
modern improvements, such as city water, electric lights and natural gas. 
Salmon river, which passes through the town, is being harnessed by the 
Niagara Power Company and it will be but a short time before electricity, 
generated along this river, will be used to drive street cars and machinery in 
many parts of the state. We expect Pulaski to become a city in a few 
years. We have the Bell telephone, Western Union and Postal telegraphs, 
the New York Central Railroad and American Express. Oswego is 25 miles 
west and Syracuse 38 miles south of us. We do business with the Pulaski 
National Bank.
