J. H. Shivers Plant Farms, Allen, Maryland 3 
MY AGREEMENT TO YOU 
I sell by catalog only, and to everyone at the same price, filling 
all orders with the same high-grade stock. Strawberry plants fre- 
quently can be shipped during warm spells in winter, and after the 
first of March in unlimited quantities. From then until May Ist, I 
am busy every day filling orders for customers. The earlier you 
secure your plants the more certain is your success with them. 
All orders shipped after May 1st are at purchaser’s risk. 
I SHIP OUT FRESH DUG PLANTS, also cold storage, or dor- 
mant plants when requested, in slatted crates with plenty of damp 
moss. We guarantee all plants, shipped out before May Ist to 
reach you in good condition. If for any reason they do not, notify 
us at once, so we can refill your order. All claims must be made 
upon receipt of plants. We cannot be responsible for any plants 
after they have been received in good condition. If for any reason 
you refuse plants, have the Express Agent mark reason on shipping 
receipt and send to us. 
TRUE-TO-NAME: .I use every precaution to have my plants 
true to name, and if any should prove otherwise I will replace it, 
but in no case will I be responsible for any sum greater than that 
paid for the plants.

custcmers, who have entrusted me with their orders. For bank
