Method of Delivery 
Plants in bands or pots will be delivered by our 
trucks, so far as it is practicable In the spring 751 
season nearly all of our merchandise was delivered 
by our trucks or by hired trucks. Deliveries were 
made to the New England States, and statewide over 
the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, 
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and 
Ohio. 
Most forms of transportation are either too costly or 
too slow; and all are pretty rough on plants in less 
than carload lots. So we have made it a practice to 
deliver shipments of 1000 banded plants or more. 
whenever it is possible. Even if your order is for 
less than 1000 plants in bands, if you are located so 
that we can group your shipment with others, truck 
delivery will be made. Our charges for delivery will 
be reasonable, and your plants will be handled care- 
fully by experienced men. 
There is always the remote possibility that some 
federal regulations may prevent deliveries by our 
own trucks. To “hedge” against such a regulation, 
we have made arrangements with a local trucking 
company to “cover” us on truck delivery service. 
Lots which cannot be handled by our trucks will be 
forwarded by Motor Express, Parcels Post, or Rail- 
way Express - whichever appears most advanta- 
geous for you. 
TRUCKING CHARGES 
Banded plants average a little over 60 Ib per 100 
(30 tb per flat of 50). To establish equitable trucking 
charges to all points the charges are based on the 
same principle as R. R. Express charges, except that 
the trucking charges are considerably lower. Take 
a shipment of 1500 (900 Ib or 30 flats) banded plants 
to Trenton, New Jersey as an illustration; Old R. R. 
Express Guide shows the second class charge to 
Trenton for the 900 fb as $25.65. Deduct 25% and 
you have $19.24 which would be our charge for truck 
delivery. The same shipment to either New York 
City, Dansville or Ithaca, N. Y., Wheeling and Hin- 
ton, W. Va.; E. Liverpool, Ohio; Blacksburg, Cha- 
tham and Suffolk, Va. would cost exactly the same. 
Nearby points will, of course be less, whereas farther 
points will be more; but you can, by using 60 Ib per 
100 plants and Express scale 11 less 25%, calculate 
the exact cost to you of our trucking service. Or, 
write us and we will be happy to give you the figures. 
The above applies, of course, where we can make 
delivery by our own trucks.
