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 Ist 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 1st 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. If for any reason you refuse plants, have the Express 
Agent to mark reason on shipping receipt and send to us. 
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. ©

We ordered plants from you this spring and now they are lovely, and 
have an abundance of runners on them. Should they be cut: off?
