Method of Delivery 
Because present day packing and transportation costs 
are much too high, we make deliveries with our own 
trucks. The trucks are equipped with special bodies, 
and the plants are delivered in flats; thus there is no 
packing charge. Deliveries are made statewide to 
the following: all New England states, New York, 
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, 
Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia, and 
some secticns of North and South Carolina, Illinois, 
Indiana, Missouri, and Eastern Michigan. We will 
deliver anywhere we can accumulate orders for a full 
minimum load. Our smallest truck handles 5200 
plants in 2” bands; but deliveries will be made of 
almest any smaller number of plants, if it can be 
worked out so that the shipment can be grouped with 
others. 
Delivery Charges 
Banded plants average a little over 60 lb. per 100 
(30 lb. 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 lb., or 380 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 lb. as $26.65. 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 
Hinton, W. Va.; E. Liverpool, Ohio; Blacksburg, 
Chatham, and Suffolk, Va., would cost exactly the 
same. (It is interesting to note that under the new 
tariff which became effective August 20th, 1953, the 
first-class express cost on the above shipment (900 
lb.) in addition to packing cost, would amount to 
$48.33 plus tax.) 
Nearby points will, of course be less, whereas more 
distant points will be more; but you can, by using 60 
lb. per 100 plants, and Express scale 11, less 25%, 
calculate the exact cost to you of our trucking ser- 
vice. Or, write us and we will be happy to give you 
the figures.
