A crate of our plants ready for shipment. Note that the crowns have 
necessary light and air. This is very important. 
For forty-nine years we have been selling strawberry plants by catolog 
only, filling orders with true-to-name, high grade stock. 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 unit] May first. After May 
first we can ship out a limited number of orders at purchaser’s risk. 
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. 
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. 
All our plants are carefully cleaned and tied in bunches, labeled, 
neatly packed in slatted crates, none of which are more than 12 inches deen, 
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 hope to be able to take care of all 
orders this year. 
For this season we have a larger stock than last year. With an acreage 
about the same as that of last year we have grown about twenty percent 
moore plants. ) 
We appreciate your business and will do our best to please you, and feel 
sure we can. 
Respectfully, 
J, W. JONES & SON.
