PLANT SUPPLY 
Our supply of strawberry plants for 1953 is be- 
low normal. We have similar reports from plant 
growers in other areas. Order early. Delay may 
mean disappointment. 
SHIPPING SEASON 
We ship as soon as weather conditions permit 
digging the plants. Normally this is April 1 to 15. 
We ship until June 1 but all orders received for 
shipment after May 10 are sent at the purchaser’s 
risk. We do not ship plants in the late summer or 
Fall. Also please note that we are not open for 
business on Sunday. 
OUR GUARANTEE 
We guarantee that our plants are true to name, 
correctly counted in bundles of 25 plants each, 
properly packed and shipped to reach you in the 
best condition. Should you have any complaint re- 
garding the plants, the packing or the service, it 
must be made at once upon receipt of the plants. 
We always stand back of our plants and service 
and are ready to make right anything for which 
we are responsible. However, in no case will we be 
be responsible for more than the purchase price of 
the plants. Nor can we be responsible for any 
condition affecting the growth of the plants which 
occurs after their arrival and which is beyond our 
control. 
Our aim is always to fill your order when you 
want it. However, since we ship only fresh dug 
plants, we are sometimes delayed by adverse 
weather which makes it impossible to get your or- 
der out on the day you request.
