RE-ROOTED VEGETABLE PLANTS 
SAFE DELIVERY 
We guarantee SAFE DELIVERY. 
If any plants are delayed and damaged we will 
immediately replace them. 
We deliver plants to the Express Company at 5 
o’clock in the afternoon. 
They forward them on night trains so they can 
deliver them to nearly all points in Pennsylvania, New 
York and New England the next morning or forenoon. 
Mail shipments we also guarantee but we recom¬ 
mend Express shipments where possible. 
We buy all of our Cauliflower, Cabbage and Broc¬ 
coli seed from the Danish Originator of Golden Acre 
and Copenhagen Market Cabbage seed and Super Snow¬ 
ball Cauliflower seed. 
We have bought cauliflower and cabbage seed from 
this grower for over 20 years. 
We try to have all plants carefully sorted and full count 
of good plants given. If there is ever a shortage, we will 
make the shortage good, if notifiedd. 
We use the best package that we can buy to ship the 
plants, and ship only fresh-dug plants, with roots in damp 
moss. 
We try to give every customer plants that will raise a full 
crop and no failure.

We make a great specialty of Cauliflower Plants, buying the highest 
priced seed only, sowing every 3 or 4 days from April 1st to near the first 
of July, having a large supply of fresh plants always on hand. 
We ship only fresh plants. 
We have, we think, the largest sale of Cauliflower plants in the United 
States. 
We received, one year, orders for 550,000 Cauliflower plants in one day, 
from members of the Long Island Cauliflower Association, or their neighbors. 
We have sold out, about August 1st, all the cauliflower plants we had, 
four separate years, to members of the Association, or their neighbors. 
We have sold 190,000 plants in one year to one member of the Association. 
We have a very large trade among large cauliflower growers, all over 
the East, who make a specialty of the crop. 
We could only have this trade by supplying the highest grade of plants 
from the best seed. 
Cauliflower is an expensive crop to grow and large growers will not 
risk their crop on any but the highest duality of plants from the best 
strains of seed. 
The general reasons why we have this very large trade are: 
1— Because we buy and sow the highest quality of seed only. 
We never sow an ounce of seed but the best. 
2— We have had thirty-seven years’ experience and we know how to raise 
the finest grade of plants that can be grown. 
3— \v e a re located in a grain and dairy section and not in a trucking 
section, so we do not have the pests and diseases that are often prevalent 
in a trucking section. 
We have never seen a cabbage maggot. 
4— To keep our Cauliflower, Cabbage and Sprout plants free from dis¬ 
ease we have moved our plant fields 24 times in 37 years to NEW tracts of 
land. 
We have never seen a Cauliflower, Cabbage, Sprout or Broccoli plant 
that had club-root. 
5—We are located in the New Jersey Highlands, a cool situation, very 
favorable to Cauliflower plants, and on soil having naturally enough lime in 
it to make it neutral or slightly alkaline, which grows the most healthy 
Cauliflower, Cabbage, Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts plants. 
G—When you buy our plants, you get not only PEDIGREED plants, but 
CLEAN plants. 
You do not get cabbage maggots and other cabbage pests to infest your 
land because there are no such things in this part of the country. 
Neither do you get club-root, as our soil has sufficient lime to make it 
neutral and we grow plants on new grain land each year.

Dear Sirs: 
Sutton, Mass., 
Your letter of January 21st in regard to Seeds and Plants was 
received. 
I note what you say in regard to quality, viz—“Which we believe 
is the best strain in existence.” 
I am not going to dispute your claim, for I have tried your 
plants for two seasons with remarkable success. 
A representative of one of the largest seed houses in the State 
inspected my cauliflowers last fall, saw some matured plants which I 
had received from you, growing side by side with plants grown from 
seed—the best that 1 could buy—and he readily admitted the superi¬ 
ority of yours over all others. 
I understand that firm wrote you and tried to buy seed from 
you, but was refused. For which I am duly thankful. 
I am planning to raise five acres of cauliflowers the coming 
season and will order from you at least 5,000 plants, probably more, 
also seed. 
I would like the first 5,000 plants that you produce. 
I find that the sale of cauliflowers begins earlier each year. 
Yours truly, 
Bovina, New York. 
“The 5,000 cauliflower plants I ordered from you last season were fine.” 
Andes, New York. 
“The cauliflower plants we got from you last year were fine. Hardly 
lost a plant.” 
Union Grove, New York. 
“The cauliflower plants you sent me did well and produced fine heads.” 
Hamden, New York. 
“The cauliflower plants which I had from you last season were very 
satisfactory.” 
Halcott Center, New York. 
“I guess you have received a number of orders from my recommending 
your plants. I gave your lists to people who wanted plants.”

Messrs. F. W. Rochelle & Sons, 
Chester, N. J. 
Gentlemen: 
I wish to say that the six thousand Snowball Cauliflower Plants 
I purchased from you last fall were the finest I have ever seen. 
I was given credit for having the finest Cauliflower in the two 
counties (Norfolk and Princess Anne, the two greatest trucking 
counties in the United States) and I want to place my order for 
16,000 for delivery between August 20th and 25th as I want to be 
sure of getting your plants again. 
I want to be sure to get the same variety and re-rooted plants 
as you shipped me last August, as they were splendid. 
Let me know if you require a deposit and I will mail you check 
and will write you later exact mailing date. 
Yours very truly.
