ADVICE AND TERMS 



PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING 



TERMS OF PAYMENT — Cash, but not cash in advance, except for orders of $10.00 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 order. I must ask to be excused from opening an account for ten dollars or less, hence require cash before 

 shipment for all orders of this character. I prefer to make no shipments C. O. 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 Express Money Order. Please DO NOT send postage stamps. Address all 

 letters: J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, N. J.; Western Union Telegraph, Little Silver, N. J.; Postal Telegraph, 

 Red Bank, N. J. Long Distance Telephone 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; however 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 you 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 com- 

 plaints. Ladies will oblige me by prefixing 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. 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 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 

 and 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, unless by special arrangement. 



MAILING — I send plants by mail postpaid, if requested, wherever so noted, in connection with the price. When- 

 ever the price does not include postage, the rate of postage is given on all mailable ar- 

 ticles, 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 so stated in the order. 



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

 pense 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 oc- 

 cur in all establishments), to substitute in its stead a similar sort. V/hen 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 de- 

 gree 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 damage 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 AND SOUTHERN EXPRESS SHIPMENTS— I am able to ship 

 direct to any point reached by these companies, and to all points of the American, Wells-Fargo, National 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 or 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.
