WHEN TO ORDER AND HOW TO SHIP 
Order early, as soon as you have decided which variety and 
how many you want. Write plainly so we can get your name 
and address correctly for prompt acknowledgment or shipment. 
EXPRESS is generally satisfactory and the best way to 
ship plants if your order is large or if the distance is great. We 
do not prepay express charges. Deduct 5% on express orders 
when sent F.O.B. Bradford, Mass. 
PARCEL POST is generally cheapest and most satisfactory 
for small shipments in adjoining and nearby states. We advise 
having plants sent by Parcel Post whenever possible. Parcel 
Post deliveries are prompt and satisfactory.

cluding the fourth zone by Parcel Post or a distance from Brad- 
ford, Mass., of approximately 600 miles. All orders over the 4th 
zone add 10 per cent to your order for SHIPPING CHARGES

STRAWBERRIES 
VIRUS FREE STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Plants referred to as “virus free” in our catalog have been 
field-grown, dusted with Malathion to control aphids which 
transmit the virus disease, and have been planted a consider- 
able distance from any other strawberry planting. The virus 
does not produce clear-cut symptoms in many varieties of 
strawberry plants, but over a period of years weaken and de- 
vitalize the plants. No guarantee can be made that these plants 
are 100% free of virus. We have taken great measures to pro- 
tect these plants from virus infection and believe them to be 
substantially virus free. 
We have them this year in 25, 50 and 100 lots only in each 
of the following varieties: Howard 17 or Premier; Catskill, and 
Sparkle. Quantity lots in October 1955.
