A load of our plants at the Express Office here. Note the slatted crates. 
Plenty of air for crowns of Plants. 
For thirty-seven 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 at purchaser’s risk. 
We will always replace anything 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 Bank Draft or P. O. Money Order in payment of plants, 
for please remember that our terms are Cash with Order. We cannot under¬ 
take 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. 
Last year we were not quite able to fill all orders we received. That was 
a matter of sincere regret to us, but we had grown the biggest stock in our 
whole history, and had felt sure we would be able to supply all calls for plants. 
For this season we have a larger stock than last year and do not see how 
it is possible for us to run short. We feel sure that we can supply all demands. 
For 1938 our prices are about 10% lower than a year ago. This in spite 
of the fact that all costs in plant production are as high and some higher 
than last year. It has been our uniform policy over the years to supply the 
highest grade plants at the lowest possible price- This we are doing in 1938. 
We appreciate your business. We will do our best to please you. We 
feel sure we can.
