ADVICE AND TERMS. 



Please Read Carefully Before Ordering. 



Payments invariably in advance. Goods sent C. O. D. only when one-fourth the amount is sent 

 with order, with charges for returning money added to bill. 



Remit by Money Ord^r on Little Silver, N. J., Eegistered Letter, Draft, or Express Money 

 Order. Please do not send private checks. Money Orders from Canada and other foreign countries 

 should be made payable at Eed Bank, N. J. Always inclose your remittance in same letter with 

 order. Address all letters, J. T. Lovett, Little Silver, N. J. Telegraph Office at Little Silver, 

 N, J. Also Telephone connections. 



Orders. Small favors thankfully received always; but I cannot undertake to fill an order of less 

 amount than one dollar, as the cost of recording and filling it would exceed the amount received. / will 

 do my 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 / cannot promise to do so. During the 

 rush of the shipping season, when many orders are received and dispatched in a day, it would, in some 

 cases, be almost impossible to comply. No change or countermand of an order can be considered as 

 final without my written consent. 



Prices. The prices quoted are for the quantities specified, but six, fifty and five hundred of a 

 variety will be supplied at dozen, hundred and thousand rates respectively. The prices of this catalogue 

 abrogate all previous quotations and are for the Spring of 1902 only. 



How to Order. Order early. Please use Order Sheet, and be sure to write your name and 

 address plainly — give Post Office, County and State — and do this every time you write to me ; and be 

 particular to say always how the goods are to be sent — whether by mail, express or freight. 

 Keep a correct copy of the order and check off the Plants, etc., when they arrive. Persons sometimes 

 forget what they order and make unjust complaint. Ladies will oblige me by prefixing their names 

 with "Miss" or "Mrs.," as the case may be. 



Mailing. I send Plants by mail postpaid, if requested, wherever so noted in connection with a 

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

 under each heading. Where nothing is said as to postage, the goods are unmailable. When Plants 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 remember that the rate of postage to Canada on Plants 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. Nothing by mail at thousand rates. 



Shipping. I deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which my control 

 ceases, consequently my responsibility also. State plainly to what point goods are to be sent. I par- 

 ticularly caution patrons against ordering Strawberry Plants shipped by freight ; they should always go by 

 express, or in small lots by mail. Transportation charges on all goods shipped by freight or express are 

 to be paid by the purchaser. 



Special Low Express Rates. Please note that the Express Companies now carry Plants 

 at a special rate of 20 per cent, less than the regular merchandise rate of 100 pounds, and figure even 

 small lots at this reduced 100-pound rate, the minimum charge, however, being 35 cents on each ship- 

 ment. This should be an inducement for patrons to order their plants sent by express. 



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 labeled. 



Substitution. It is my 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 I shall not do this, it must be so stated 

 in the order. To simply affix the words "No Substitution" is all that is necessary. 



Claims, if any, must be made upon 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. I 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 I do 

 not, because I cannot, undertake to guarantee stock to live. 



Guarantee I warrant my stock true to name, with the explicit understanding that should 

 any not prove so I will refund the money paid or replace it with other stock, but I am not liable for 

 damages beyond this. A sure indication of the purity of my stock is the fact that customers of former 

 years continue to deal with me. 



Should you receive two copies of this Catalogue please hand one to a neighbor who is interested in fruit culture.
