Part 30

If possible, remittance should be made by Postoffice or Express Money Order or by Bank Draft. If this is not convenient send registered letter or personal check, adding 10 cents for exchange if you remit by check.

SPRING SHIPMENTS ONLY

It is advisable to have your plants shipped as early as possible. We begin digging and shipping in the spring as soon as weather permits (usually about April 1st) and continue until May 25th. We positively cannot ship at any other time of the year. If you specify shipping date, we shall follow your instructions as closely as possible, otherwise we shall use our own judgment.

SUBSTITUTION

We seldom find it necessary to substitute but if, when it comes time to ship your order, we are unable to furnish certain varieties you have ordered, may we substitute in their place varieties of equal or greater value? It is very important that you answer “Yes” or “No” in proper place on Order Sheet, naming second choice of varieties if substitution will meet with your approval. If you do not indicate your wish, we shall assume that you wish us to use our judgment. We shall not substitute, however, unless necessary.

CLAIMS

Any claim for mistakes or adjustment must be made immediately upon receipt of plants. In reporting any discrepancy please state the number of plants of each variety, also number of crates or packages received and date received. This will assist us in making a prompt investigation.

Our Guaranty

With our careful methods of growing, labeling and packing plants, mistakes are practically impossible. We therefore guarantee Kellogg Pedigree Plants to be true to name and free from insects and fungous diseases, however in no event will we be responsible for more than the amount paid us for the plants.

Kellogg Pedigree Plants are delivered to the Transportation Company in first-class condition and thereupon our responsibility ceases. We cannot and will not be in any way responsible for the crop, for loss or delay after plants are turned over to the Transportation Company, or for inability to fill any order on account of shortage of plants, conditions resulting from an act of Nature, labor situation or any other cause beyond our control. It is mutually understood and agreed between the customer and ourselves that all orders are placed and accepted in accordance with the terms and conditions herein provided.

Don’t overlook ordering Kellogg’s Marvel, (The Marvel of Beauty and Productiveness) and Kellogg’s Delicious, (The Strawberry that Satisfies). These two varieties will give you something extraordinary in Strawberries.

Transcriber’s Notes

The spelling used in the printed work has been retained. Sion-illi and Sionilli both occur in the original work, and have not been standardised, nor have other inconsistently hyphenated words.

The Kellogg Trade Mark illustration (“THOROUGHBRED PEDIGREE--TRADE MARK--STRAWBERRY PLANTS”) occurs in many illustrations, but has been transcribed just once (on the front cover).

Changes made:

The page header (“KELLOGG’S GREAT CROPS OF STRAWBERRIES and HOW to GROW THEM the KELLOGG WAY”) has been moved from page six to page three, and deleted from subsequent pages on which it occurs.

Some minor obvious typographical errors have been corrected silently.
