A load of our plants at the Express Office here. Note the slatted crates. 
Plenty of air for crowns of plants. 
For forty-eight years we have been selling strawberry plants by catalogue 
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 Cert’ficate 
of Inspection accompanies each package. We have an absolutely clean bill of 
health. 
IN THE EAST THERE IS NOT AS LARGE A QUANTITY OF PLANTS 
THIS YEAR AS FOR THE PAST FOUR, BUT WE WILL BE ABLE TO 
HANDLE ALL EARLY ORDERS WITH FINE STOCKY PLANTS. IT 
MAY BE THAT SOME VARIETIES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE LATE IN 
THE SEASON. 
We appreciate your business and will do our best to please you, and feel 
sure we can. 
Respectfully, 
J. W. JONES & SON.
