J. H. Shivers Plant Farms, Allen, Maryland 34 
MY AGREEMENT TO YOU 
Strawberry plants frequently can be shipped during warm spells. 
in winter, and after the first of March in unlimited quantities. 
From then until May 1st, 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 Ist 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 
cnce, 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.

tomers who have entrusted me with their orders. For bank refer- 
ences kindly write the Farmers & Merchants Bank, Salisbury, Md.,
