WHEN TO ORDER AND HOW TO SHIP 
Order early, as soon as you have decided which variety and 
how many you want. Write plainly so we can get your name 
and address correctly for prompt acknowledgment or shipment. 
EXPRESS is generally satisfactory and the best way to 
ship plants if your order is large or if the distance is great. We 
do not prepay express charges. 
PARCEL POST is generally cheapest and most satisfactory 
for small shipments in adjoining and nearby states. We advise 
having plants sent by Parcel Post whenever possible. Parcel 
Post deliveries are prompt and satisfactory. 
We ship strawberry plant orders PREPAID up to and in- 
cluding the fourth zone by Parcel Post or a distance from Brad- 
ford, Mass., of approximately 600 miles. All orders over the 4th 
zone add 10 per cent to your order for SHIPPING CHARGES. 
In struction to Purchaser: TERMS cash with order. Remit 
by money order, bank draft, cash in registered letter, or per- 
sonal check. 
PACKING—no extra charge is made for packing. 
TIME OF SHIPMENT. We ship during months of April, 
May, October and November. 
LATE SHIPMENTS. All plants ordered shipped after May 
25 will be packed and shipped in best possible condition, but 
at purchaser’s risk. 
GEESE FOR WEEDERS 
There are many growers of strawberries in our vicinity 
raising geese to keep down grasses and some types of weeds 
in the growing year. They will not eat the strawberry plants 
but will eat about all kinds of grass first, and many varieties 
of weeds while they are young and tender. They do not eat 
ragweed, pigweed or wild morning glory with us, but did do 
a good job on chickweed. In one bed where witchgrass was 
thick at one end of the bed and chickweed at the other, they 
cleaned out the witchgrass in a few days then did the same 
with the chickweed. 
The strawberry beds of course should be fenced in for 
best results with two inch mesh three feet high poultry netting. 
We get our geese about a week old, keep them locked in a 
small shelter at night, and do not let them get wet for about 
seven weeks, when they will be fully feathered. About all you 
need to feed them is water if there is enough green feed for 
them. Where can you get weeding and fertilizing done any 
cheaper, then chop their heads off in the fall and eat them.
