Dear Customer: 
We are writing you at an early date this year because we want everyone who has ordered our 
Certified Bunch Porto Rico sweet potato plants in the past to have the first opportunity to place another 
order this season. j 
Last year, we were unable to fill all orders due to an overwhelming demand for plants of the 
Bunch variety, which far exceeded our expectations, and to a very abnormally cold spring which re- 
duced the yield and retarded the growth of the plants. We were forced to return hundreds of orders 
without filling them. On hundreds of others we were able to ship only a small percentage of the 
quantity ordered and the shipping dates on many of these were unavoidably delayed. 
To those customers who were disappointed in any way we offer our sincere regrets and we want 
you to know we are making every effort to spare you similar disappointment in the future. To this 
end we are more than doubling the quantity of seed potatoes bedded in the field and we have also 
constructed hotbeds in which we are bedding several hundred bushels to supply those customers 
who want plants delivered in March and April. We have taken these two actions in order to supply 
our customers with the quantity of plants they want at the time desired. 
We ship only mature, stocky and healthy plants and they are carefully packed in peat moss to 
prevent drying out in transit. All shipments are insured and immediate replacement is made in the 
event of loss or damage. Oyders of less than 5,000 plants are shipped by Parcel Post and orders of 
5,000 and over are shipped by Railway Express. WE PAY POSTAGE AND EXPRESS on all plant 
orders. Our prices delivered to you are: 
No. of Shipping Dates Shipping Dates Shipping Dates

5000 43.00 33.00 28.00 
10,000 85.00 65.00 55.00 
In order to save our customers the expense of collection charges, we do not ship C. O. D. You may 
send your remittance with your order or at any time prior to date of shipment. 
Indications are that the over-all supply of sweet potato plants will again be short this coming 
season, especially so in the case of the Bunch variety. We, therefore, recommend that you place your 
order on the enclosed blank and return it to us in the enclosed envelope without delay. Our shipping 
season starts about March 1st. 
For those customers who prefer to grow their own plants we have available Certified Bunch Seed 
Potatoes at $6.00 per bushel, F.O.B. our shipping point. 
Yours very truly,
