Trade Prices for 1939 
Prices are quoted per hundred tubers. Ten or more will be sold at the hundred rate. For 
less than ten tubers of one variety add 20%. Reservation orders placed in the fall and orders 
to be shipped before January I st. are accepted at minimum or thousand rates regardless of 
quantity ordered for any one shipment. 
10% extra count is given in all cases—,that is, 1 1 for 10, 110 for 100, etc.,—except where 
tubers are packed in special boxes or cartons ready for reshipment—to take care of any possible 
replacement claims and to help defray transportation charges. 
As packed for shipment tubers weigh approximately 15 lbs. per hundred. 
All our stock is absolutely dependable, field grown from tubers—not plants—planted early, carefully rogued and 
fully matured before dug. Stored under ideal conditions, all tubers are fresh and plump, carefully cut, trimmed and 
sorted by expert cutters—no haggling, no broken necks, no culls—every tuber with a good eye, full of vitality and 
sure to please your most exacting customers. No stunts, mosaic or diseased plants in our fields, and no junk or 
untried varieties in our list. 
If tubers are to be wrapped and labelled individually for resale, add $1. per hundred to prices given. Where 
order is of sufficient size to warrant—one hundred or more tubers of a kind, and not less than ten kinds—we will, 
if desired, use a special label, similar^ to our regular blue label, but bearing your own name or trademark, and printed 
on stock in your own choice of color (unless such color is already reserved for another customer) with our regular 
white semi-parchment wrapper, at same rate. This will enable you to offer stock under your own exclusive label.

MIXED—Each season at planting time we reserve a 
limited number of tubers of each of our leading varieties 
for filling late orders. At the close off the season all 
that are left of these are thrown into one lot and planted 
as mixed. These roots as well as rogues which are dug 
from our fields before our regular digging starts and 
surplus lots in our regular list are all used in this: lot, 
making a well balanced assortment of types and colors 
which should sell readily at 10 roots for $!.■

Named varieties, each variety properly labelled, our 
selection of varieties and types, customer’s choice of 
color so far as possible, but not guaranteed. In this lot 
we include standard varieties which are especially 
suitable for counter trade of Department Stores, etc.,

handling, exposure, etc., to which such stock on open 
counter is subject, and yet will prove most satisfactory 
to customers.
