Method of Delivery 
If you have recently received shipments by Railway 
Express from any one, you know from the size of the 
bill that the cost is too high. And for that matter the 
cost of Parcel Post promises to be out of reason, too. 
Because we are anxious that transportation charges 
should not drive business away, truck deliveries are 
being made wherever it is possible. Truck deliveries 
are already scheduled to the New England states, 
statewide in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, 
Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, West 
Virginia, some sections of North and South Carolina, 
Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Michigan. 
Shipments of 1000 plants or more will be delivered by 
truck if at all 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. Delivery charges will be 
reasonable, and your plants will be handled carefully 
by experienced men. 
Lots which cannot be handled by our trucks will be 
forwarded by Motor Express, Parcel Post, or Railway 
Express—whichever appears most advantageous to 
you. 
TRUCKING CHARGES 
Banded plants average a little over 60 fb per 100 
(30 Ib 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 fb 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.
