ally very excellent for success- 
ful transplanting in the fall. A wet 
spring or a dry spring might make 
it impossible for you to plant.

best way, because plants are handled by

the questionable care of incompetent per- 
sons. We will ship at the proper planting 
time. Strawberries cannot be shipped until 
Oct. 10. 
WE PAY POSTAGE 
ON MOST ITEMS 
You will please note that most items listed 
in our 1953 Fall Catalog are delivered to you 
postpaid, and are so listed. This saves you 
money. i 
There are, however, some items that are too 
large to ship by parcel post, such as fruit trees 
and shade trees. There are items such as hedge 
plants and some varieties and quantities of | 
berry plants that are listed at such a low price 
for the high quality of stock that we cannot 
afford to pay the shipping charges. These 
items are shipped to you transportation charges 
collect. 
In some orders there are trees which must go 
by express, and also some stock which would 
ordinarily go by parcel post. In order to avoid 
making two separate shipments we send the 
entire order by express. For this privilege we 
include extra stock which has a greater value 
than the amount of the extra transportation 
charges. When selecting this extra stock for 
you we choose items that fit in with the other 
items on your order.

Popular Gardening, the new all garden magazine 
and Country Gentleman, the “two-in-one maga- 
zine” for better farming and better living. We are 
enclosing a subscription blank for your con- 
venience.
