 do not send private checks. Money Orders from Canada and other foreign countries should be made payable at

 COMPANY, Little Silver, N. J. Telegraph Office at Little Silver, N. J. Telephone 2A. Registered Cable 

 Address "Lovett, Littlesilver". 



Payments invariably in advance. G-oods sent C. O. D. only when one-fourth the amount is sent with order, 

 with charges for returning money added to bill. 



The Prices of this catalogue abrogate previous quotations. The prices affixed are for the quantities specified, 

 but not less thau six, fifty and five hundred of a variety will be supplied at dozen, hundred and thousand rates 

 respectively. With apples, pears, peaches and other Fruit Trees, fifty in assorted varieties of a class may be 

 ordered at hundred rates and five hundred at thousand rates; but hundred lots of strawberries, raspberries and 

 other Small Fruits cannot be made up at hundred rates, of less than fifty of a variety and thousand lots cannot 

 be made up at thousand rates, of less than five hundred of a variety. 



Orders* Please be sure to write your name and address plainly — give Post Office, County, and State — and do 

 this every time you write. Be particular to say how goods are to be sent; whether by mail, express or freight. 

 When these conditions are not complied with, we use our judgment and ship by the way we deem best. Keep a 

 correct copy of the order and check off the stock when it arrives; people often forget what they order and make 

 unjust complaint. Ladies will oblige us by prefixing their names with "Miss" or "Mrs." as the case may be. 



Additions and Changes. We will do our utmost to comply with the wishes of patrons to pack additions to 

 an order, or subsequent orders, in one package; or to make reasonable changes in orders, but we cannot promise 

 to do so. During the rush of the shipping season, when several hundred orders are received and despatched in a 

 day, it would, in some cases, be almost impossible to comply. No change or countermand of an order can be 

 considerate as final without our written consent. 



Goods by Mail. We send free by mail, when desired, all Trees, Plants, Bulbs, etc., when it is so stated in the 

 Catalogue. When the price does not include postage, the rate of postage is given on all mailable articles, under 

 each heading. When goods are to be sent by mail it must be so stated in the order and the necessary amount for 

 postage included in the remittance. Please note that the rates of postage to Canada on Seeds, Plants, etc., is 

 double that of the United States, hence in ordering goods by mail Canadian customers will please remit double 

 the amount of postage asked for in Catalogue. Nothing by mail at thousand rates. Whenever convenient to do 

 so, we recommend that nursery stock be shipped by express or freight as larger stock can then be sent. We 

 particularly caution patrons against ordering Strawberries and Herbaceous Plants shipped by freight; they 

 should always go by express or small lots by mail. 



Substitution. It is our custom, should the supply of a variety be exhausted (which will occasionally occur in 

 all establishments), to substitute in its stead a similar sort or give the value of another grade of the variety 

 named. When it is desired that we shall not do this, it must be so stated in the order. To simply affix the words 

 "No substitution" is all that is necessary. 



Shipping. We deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which our control ceases, conse- 

 quently our responsibility also. Stock shipped west of the Mississippi River by freight has to be prepaid and orders 

 for stock to such points to be thus shipped must be accompanied by a remittance to cover freight charges in 

 addition to amount for same as per prices and terms of Catalogue ; the surplus, if any, will in all cases, of course 

 be promply returned to the party ordering. State plainly to what point goods are to be sent. 



Guarantee. We warrant our.stock true to name, with the express understanding that should any not prove 

 so, we will refund the money paid or replace it with other stock, but are not liable for damages beyond this. A 

 sure indication of the purity of .our stock is the fact that customers of former years continue to deal with us. 



Packing is executed with the utmost care. Special pains are taken to pack lightly, thereby reducing the 

 expense of transportation to a minimum. All goods at prices quoted are packed free. Everything is labelled. 



Claims, if any, must be made on receipt of goods, when they will be carefully and cheerfully examined and, 

 if just, all made satisfactory. Claims made after fifteen days from receipt of goods will not be entertained. We 

 send out only good stock in good condition, carefully packed, in all cases, but success or failure depends in so 

 large a degree upon the care and management after received, that we do not, because we cannot, undertake to 

 guarantee stock to live. 



Special Low Express Rates. By special arrangement we are now able to ship to our customers by any express 

 line, to any part of the country, plants, bulbs, and all other nursery stock at the hundred pounds merchandise 

 rates, less a special reduction of twenty per cent, therefrom. Thus we secure for our patrons a very low express 

 rate on all shipments that do not go by mail or freight.
