TO OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS 
This is our 26th annual Catalogue, which is rather modest as usual,simply 
describing the different plants we are growing. Omiting the pretty pictures, 
extravagant claims which are often found in the more elaborate catalogues. 
Ill our experience of the past, we find that satisfied customers are the best 
advertisment and are proud to state that we have a large number of patrons 
who have continued with us from the early days of our business. We again 
wish to thank all our customers who have patronized us in the past and can 
assure you of the same satisfaction when your order is placed with us. 
Wishing all a happy prosperous 1940 I remain. 
Very sincerly yours 
' C. E. Field 
INSTRUCTIONS 
TIME TO ORDER —As soon as possible after receiving this catalog. 
That is particularly so with berry plants. We can reserve the varieties j^ou 
want and ship as early in the spring as it is possible for you to prepare the 
land for them. This is the first important step toward a successful berry 
patch. When planting in the early spring you are certain of getting a good 
stand without watering and nursing them along, which is often required 
later in the season when it becomes hot and dry. 
ALL OUR PLANTS ARE FRESHLY DUG; packed in light ventilated 
crates with plenty of damp moss and shipped promptly,guaranteed to reach 
you in good condition. Should they arrive in poor condition which might 
happen through delay in transit or some cause beyond our control, accept the 
plants and have your Express Agent or Postman make note of same. Advise 
us at once and we will make good all just claims whe:i made on receipt of 
goods. 
GUARANTEE 
We guarantee our stock to be true to name and free from disease. We use 
every precaution to keep it so and believe we have been able to do it almo.st 
one hundred percent in the twenty six years that we have been in business. 
Should any prove otherwise we will replace them on proper proof ,but in no 
case will we be responsible for any greater amount than the purchase price 
of stock. 
PAYMENT should be made by Money Order, Registered Letter, Bank 
Draft or Personal Check, However, we will reserve your order for a deposit 
of one fourth of total amount. The balance can be paid before shipment or 
will ship with balance C, O. D.
