MY AGREEMENT TO YOU 
I sell by catalog only, and to everyone at the same price, filling 
all orders with the same high-grade stock. Strawberry plants fre¬ 
quently can be shipped during warm spells in winter, and after March 
first in unlimited quantities. From then until May 1st, I am busy 
every day filling orders for customers. After May 1st, I can fill a 
limited number of orders but the earlier you secure your plants the 
more certain is your success with them. 
MY GUARANTEE 
I guarantee every plant that I ship to be free from 
disease, true to name and to arrive in perfect growing 
condition. If for any reason whatever you are not 
satisfied that you have received 100 cents in value for 
every dollar sent me, I will adjust it to your satisfac¬ 
tion. “Every customer a satisfied customer” is my 
policy. J. H. Shivers. 
I SHIP OUT ONLY FRESH DUG PLANTS 
in slatted crates with plenty of damp moss. I will replace free 
of charge anything that reaches you in bad condition, provided the 
transportation company has given it proper dispatch. If it has been 
too long on the road, refuse to receive it and I will refill your order 
without additional charge to you. 
TRUE-TO-NAME: I use every precaution to have my plants 
true to name, and if any should prove otherwise I will replace it, but 
in no case will I be responsible for any sum greater than that paid 
for the plants. 
REFERENCES: My best references are the many satisfied cus¬ 
tomers, who have entrusted me with their orders. For bank references 
kindly write the Farmers & Merchants Bank, Salisbury, Md., or the 
Bank of Somerset, Princess Anne, Md. Enclose stamp for reply.
