A crate of our plants ready for shipment. Note that the crowns have 
necessary light and air. This is very important. 
For forty-seven years we have been selling strawberry plants by catolog 
only,filling orders with strictly fresh dug, true-to-name, high grade stock 
of our own growing. We can sometimes ship during January and February, 
depending on the severity of winter, but after March first we are able to dig 
and ship daily until May first. After May first we can ship out a limited 
number of orders at purchaser’s risk. 
We will always replace anything that may reach you in bad condition, 
providing the transportation company has given it proper dispatch. If it has 
been too long on the road refuse to receive it. We will then refill your order 
and get our pay from the Express Company. 
We would prefer Bank Draft or P. O. Money Order in payment of plants, 
for please remember that our terms are Cash with Order. We cannot under- 
take to do a credit business at the price at which our plants are sold. To 
serve you at the lowest cash price is, we believe very distinctly to your ad- 
vantage. We will book your order and hold the plants a reasonable time 
awaiting your remittance. 
All our plants are freshly dug, carefully cleaned, tied in bunches of 27 
(counted as 25), labeled, neatly packed in slatted crates, none of which are 
more than 12 inches deep, and all of which are 12 inches wide. A Certificate 
of Inspection accompanies each package. We have an absolutely clean bill 
of health. 
Last year we were not quite able to fill all orders we received. That was 
a matter of sincere regret to us, but we had grown the biggest stock since 
1940 and had felt sure we would be able to supply all calls for plants. 
For this season we have a larger stock, in fact forty percent more than 
last year. We feel confident that we can supply all demands. With an acreage 
nearly double that of yast year we have grown only about forty percent 
more plants. This means that our plants are larger, but we will get fewer 
per acre than last year. 
We appreciate your business and will do our best to please you, and feel 
sure we can. 
Respectfully, 
J. W. JONES & SON.
