WHEN TO ORDER AND HOW TO SHIP 
ORDER as soon as you have decided what varieties and how 
many you want. Write plainly so that I can get your name and ad- 
dress correctly for prompt acknowledgment of order and delivery of 
plants. 
EXPRESS is generally satisfactory and the best way to ship 
plants if your order is large, or if the distance is great. Express 
rates have been reduced. 
PARCEL POST is generally cheapest and most satisfactory for 
small shipments and with larger shipments in adjoining and nearby 
states. 
Strawberry plants packed for shipment weigh approximately 4 
pounds per 100 plants. Make up your order, calculate the approxi- 
mate weight and if you do not know your zone from Allen, Maryland, 
use distances given herewith or ask your postmaster. 
With zone rate published here you can easily calculate the amount 
of postage to send. Be sure to send postage enough as any excess 
will be returned. If sufficient amount to pay parcel post charges is 
not sent with the order, the plants will be sent by Express collect, or 
by parcel post, C. O. D., for the amount of postage due, as I cannot 
keep accounts and send ills for small items of postage.
