J. H. Shivers Plant Farms, Allen, Maryland 1 


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 Ist, I 
am busy every day filling orders for customers. The earlier you 
secure your plants the more certain is your success with them. 
All orders shipped after May 1st are at purchaser’s risk. 
I SHIP OUT ONLY FRESH DUG PLANTS, in slatted crates 
with plenty of damp moss. We guarantee all these plants, shipped 
out before May Ist to reach you in good condition. If for any 
reason they do not, notify us at once, so we can refill your order. 
All claims must be made upon receipt of plants. We cannot be 
responsible for any plants after they have been received in good 
condition. 
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 
customers, 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

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 satisfaction. ‘“‘Every customer a satisfied 
customer” is my policy. JH SHIVERS:
