We come before you with this our twenty-seventh annual catalogue, asking for a continuance of your liberal trade, and wish to thank our many patrons for past favors. While the growing of strawberry plants has been our business for twentyseven years, yet not until this season have we taken up poultry and cabbage plants in connection. We have found that poultry is a nice side issue for the fruit grower, no matter where he may be located, as eggs bring such good prices the year around that the growing of poultry pays better than many farm crops grown. We have selected nine of the best breeds' for our use in raising poultry and will have eggs in season from all starting January 15th and continuing all summer and late in fall for early fall broilers. When you make up an order for eggs be sure to read our prices before placing your order. CABBAGE PLANTS.-We have made arrangements and contracted for as nice a stock of hardy frost proof cabbage plants as can be grown. They wilJ make you nice heads of cabbage two weeks ahead of time your best market gardener can make them to save his life. We know this to be a fact for we have grown them. The party who grows our plants has sowed 6,000 pounds of seeds for shipping plants, so you see we can handle any order large or small. We ask your trade for any amount wanted. STRAWBERRY PLANTS.-This year we offer our patrons seventy-five varieties of strawberry plants with prices much lower than most any plant firm has to offer. Our plants are fine and well rooted and we know they will give good satisfaction wherever planted. We have in the past shipped plants to all parts of the United States and Canada and they have arrived in good shape. We guarantee all plants by express or mail to reach you safely in any part of the United States. By freight they will travel at your risk. " LOCATION, MODE OF PACKING, ETC.-We are located fifty miles north of Little Eock, on the St. L., I. M. & S., which gives us five trains each way per day, making best of connections at Little Eock for east and west and a direct route to Galveston and Houston, Texas, and a through route to St. Louis, where we have connections with all the leading routes. BEST WAY TO SHIP.-We have found the best way to ship plants is by express, as they go through in a few days and arrive in good condition, and on all express shipments we guarantee them to arrive in good condition no matter where you are located; we also guarantee them by mail; but by freight, they travel at your risk. All plants that go by freight must be paid for in full before they leave our packing house. PACKING.-We do our packing in first class manner, using plenty of damp moss to the roots, not real wet, which causes plants to heat, but just moist enough to hold moisture enroute. We use crates and baskets in packing and pack from 5,000 to 6,000 to the one hundred pounds, which gives you very low expressage. By mail we pack one hundred plants in bundle which we pack under four pounds, and prepay them at prices named by the hundred. In making up your order reme...
Specialist, is one of our valuable customers; having known him for several years, we can recommend him as a Gentleman of Sterling Worth. He is honest and reliable in his business dealings, the largest Grower and Shipper in the State of the Queen of Small Fruits "the Strawberry." Mr. Bauer's sales last year passed the ten million mark, and from the present outlook his sales this year will reach fifteen million at least, which give him the distinction of being the largest Grower and Shipper in the South west, and only second to one in the United States. To any one in the market for high grade first class strawberry plants we recommend Mr. J. A. Bauer, believing that you will receive fair treatment, and get value received when dealing with him. In this progressive age the successful Grower of strawberries only set the very best plants, so if you want the BEST be sure to place your order with Mr. J. A. Bauer.
Another year has rolled by and we enter the year 1926 with a good line of plants as in the past and we feel sure we can please all our old patrons as well as new .ones with BAUER'S BLUE RIBBON BRAND BERRY PLANTS, which we have trademarked. We shall be glad indeed to have your order. We have a new line as you will see, in Cabbage Plants, Potato Plants, Onion Plants, Pepper Plants and Egg Plants. All this stock will be priced post paid on all orders right to your door and we shall be glad to have your orders. In our forty-years of experience in growing and selling berry plants, we have never had shorter plant crops than last year and this year, so we advise all to g^t orders in early and be sure of what you want. While the plant crop is short yet the quality is of the very best and we know you'll get plants that will please you. We cater to the trade that wants the very best plants produced and we sell that kind of stock at a small profit. We never sell one order at a loss and charge up the difference to some other party. We make each order pay a profit, a very small one at that, by selling millions of plants. With small profits we can do better than the parties who sell just a few plants. We have never run under ten million plants a season and have sold over sixteen million in one season. We hope to have your order and thank you for past favors. Tell your friends of Bauer service and we will see that they get the same good stock. J. A. BAUER. General Information SHIPPING SEASON-We start shipments each fall October the 15th and we ship from that date on and most times we ship any day in the winter as we have little frozen ground to keep us from getting out plants whenever wanted. Most years we stop the shipment of berry plants April 20th, but in some cases we ship later than that. On other plants which can't be set until frost is out of the ground and danger of freezing is past we ship much later in the season.. On Potato Plants we ship urn til June 20th each year.. PACKING-We use slatted crates for packing, thus giving the leaves the light and air while in transit. We use plenty of damp spagnum moss on the roots which assures all plants arriving as fresh as when dug. We use the same care in packing plants for mail orders as we do our largest orders, so don't stand back to send your mail orders for we can get them to you in good order right to your door. TERMS-Our terms are cash with orders or part cash with order and balance c. o. d. We will ship c. o. d., if one third cash comes with order. If you send check, expect a delay for collecting same before shipment. If you want quick service send bank draft, post office money order or express money order.
