DESCRIPTION OF PLANTS. 
Our plants have always given great satisfaction. Their size and vigor are com¬ 
mented upon by all who receive them. We take extra pains to grow them well, and 
we can assure all those who favor us with their orders [that they will not be disap¬ 
pointed. 
LAYER PLANTS. 
The plants which we usually furnish a*re well rooted layers from the open ground. 
This has been our practice for more than forty years, and we have never had any 
reason to think that this mode of 'growing was not a success. These will not be 
furnished till after September loth, and then only at dozen and hundred rates till 
October 1st.

SHIPPING SEASON. 
Layer plants of Strawberries will not be furnished till after September 15th, and 
then only at dozen and hundred rates, till October 1st. After October 1st we will 
furnish them at the thousand rate provided the plants are ordered in sufficient quantity 
to entitle the purchaser to that price. We continue filling orders till the latter part 
of October. 
Blackberries, Currants, Gooseberries, and Raspberries, except 
Black Caps, can be planted in the Autumn with success. When planted in the 
Fall the roots*take hold of the earth immediately, and the plants are ready to grow 
on the first approach of Spring. Fall set plants should have the earth lulled up 
around them to prevent heaving by the frost. 
In the 'Fall we commence shipping about October 1st, and continue until the 
ground freezes. 
In the Spring we commence sometimes in March, but generally about April 1st. 
PACKING. 
We make no charge for packing Strawberries—but charge on other Small Fruits 
enough to cover cost, simply.
