PLANT SUPPLY 
Despite a dry growing season our supply of 
plants for 1955 is about average. Premier and 
Catskill, both from virus free stock, grew very 
well. Fairland and Temple are in rather short 
supply. As always, ordering early is the best way 
of getting what you want. 
VIRUS FREE PLANTS 
In recent years there has been considerable 
work done by the USDA in developing virus free 
strains of several varieties of strawberry plants. 
Our entire supply of Premier, Catskill and Sparkle 
were grown from virus free stock. 
We found the virus free Catskill and Premier 
to be unusually vigorous with the plant growth 
considerably better than our old strains of those 
varieties. Sparkle did not show such a marked 
superiority over the strain we previously grew. 
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 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.
