ADVICE AND TERMS. 



PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING. 



Terms of Payment, Cash, but not cash in advance, except for orders of $5.00 or less. I ship the 

 goods and mail bill at once and expect payment within a few days. Persons not known to me will 

 kindly give reference with the order. I must ask to be excused from opening an account for five dol- 

 lars, or less, hence require cash before shipment; for all orders of this character. I prefer to make no 

 shipments C. 0. D., but will ship in this way when twenty-five per cent, of the amount is sent with the 

 order, with return charges added. Remit by Postal Money Order, Registered Letter Draft, or Ex- 

 press Money Order. Please do not send postage stamps. Address all letters: J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE 

 Silver, N. J.; Western Ui lion Telegraph, Little Silver, N. J., Postal Telegraph, Red Bank, N.J. Long 

 Distance Telehpone Connections with all points in the United States. 



Prices of this Catalog abrogate previous quotations. The prices quoted are for the quantities 

 specified, but six and fifty of a variety will be supplied at dozen and hundred rates respectively ; but 

 hundred lots cannot be made up at hundred rates of less than fifty of a variety. 



How to Order. — Order early. 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 

 small profit of same. Kindly use Order Sheet, and be sure to write your name and address plainly. 

 Give Post Office, County and State — and do this every time yon write to me. Be particular to state 

 how the goods are to be shipped; whether by mail, express or freight, and state plainly to what point 

 goods are to be sent. 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 pre- 

 fixing their names with "Miss" or "Mrs.," as the case may be. I 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 an order; but I cannot promise to do so. During the rush of the shipping sea- 

 son, when many orders are received and dispatched in a day, it would, in some cases, be almost im- 

 possible to comply. No change or countermand of an order can be considered final without my written 

 consent. 



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

 consequently my responsibility also. I particularly caution patrons against ordering Perennial Plants 

 shipped by freight; they should always go by express, or in small lots by mail. Transportation charge- 

 on all goods shipped by freight or express are to be paid by the purchaser, unless by special arrange- 

 ment. 



Mailing. — I send plants by mail postpaid, if requested, wherever so noted, in connection with the 

 price. Whenever the price does not include postage, the rate of postage is given on all mailable arti- 

 cles, under their respective headings. Where nothing is said as to postage, the goods are unmailable. 

 When plants are to be sent by mail, it must be stated in the order. Please remember that the rate of 

 postage to Canada on plants is double that of the United States; hence in ordering goods by mail, Can- 

 adian customers will please remit double the amount of postage asked for. Nothing by mail at hun- 

 dred rates. 



Packing is executed with the utmost care. Special pains are taken to pack lightly; thereby reduc- 

 ing the expense of transportation to a minimum. All goods at prices quoted are packed free. Every 

 thing is labelled. 



Substitution. — It is my custom, should the supply of a variety be exhausted, (which will occasion- 

 ally occur in all establishments,) to substitute in its stead a similar sort. 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 ex- 

 amined, 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 

 prove untrue, I will return the money paid or replace it with other stock; but I am not liable for dam- 

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

 continue to deal with me. 



United States Express, Adams Express and Southern Express shipments. I am able to ship direct 

 to any point reached by any of these companies, and to all points of The American, Wells- Fargo or 

 Pacific Express via New York City. A discount of 20 per cent, is allowed on merchandise rates per 100 

 pounds, upon all shipments of Perennial Plants, Trees, Shrubs and Vines, and the charge is based, 

 even for small shipments, upon the 100 pound rate; the minimum charge, however, being 35 cents on 

 each shipment. Patrons will please insist that this discount is allowed when paying charges. 



Should you receive two copies of the Catalog, please hand one to a neighbor who is inter- 

 ested in Hardy Perennial Plants.
