GENERAL INFORMATION 
LOCATION 
I am located 3 1-2 miles North West of Jonesboro, Illinois in southern 
Illinois, about thirty-six miles north of Cairo, and about 100 miles south 
of St. Louis. This location in in about the same latitude as Richmond 
and San Francisco. 
SHIPPING SEASON 
My regular shipping season commences October 1st. However, I am 
sometimes able to send out some plants in September. This, however, 
depends upon the season and weather. I continue digging and shipping 
during the entire fall, winter and spring until May 1st or later. I am 
sometimes delayed a short time by freezing weather during the months 
of January and February, but usually able to ship any time during these 
months. 
PLANTS BY MAIL 
I make a specialty of sending plants in small quantities by mail. Those 
wishing to obtain a few of one or more sorts can order in this manner. 
See my price list for postpaid rates. 
EXPRESS RATES 
The classification on strawberry plants is such as to enable me to se¬ 
cure very low rates to all points, and as I pack very light in baskets 
or crates, the express charges are less than might be supposed. Seven 
baskets are usually billed out for 100 pounds. Crates vary in weight ac¬ 
cording to size. 
FREIGHT SHIPMENTS 
When cold weather sets in in November, I can ship all over the country 
safely by freight. The colder the weather the better they will carry. 1 
would advise those who want plants for eary Spring to get them in 
November or December shipped by freight and heel them in until Spring 
when they are read^j^ as early as you wish to plant them. 
TERMS OF PAYMENT 
Cash with order unless otherwise especially agreed. Plants will be sent 
C. O. D. when one-third of the amount accompanies the order. 
REMITTANCE 
May be made by New York, Chicago or St. Louis draft, Postoffice or 
Express order or Registered Letter.
