LovETTS Seed Cataeogue 



SPRING 1899 



The business which I established at Little Silver, N, 

 J., in 1878 has assumed such proportions as to have 

 completely outgrown my facilities at that place for 

 conveniently and economically transacting my large 

 and rapidly growing trade in seeds. I have therefore 

 removed this branch of the business to the large, new 

 and commodious building at 40 Broad Street, Red 

 Bank, N. J. (correctly shown in the accompanying il- 

 lustration, engraved from a photograph), located in 

 the centre of the business district, and is by far the 

 most elegant and finely equipped commercial building 

 in the city. In my new quarters I have every facility 

 for the prompt, accurate and economical execution of 

 all orders for seeds; no matter how large or smaller 

 how numerous they may be. 



During the twenty-one years that I have been in 

 the business there are two principles I have persistent- 

 ly adhered to, namely; to always offer (/le best of every- 

 thing and to tell the exact truth about everything of- 

 fered, to the best of my knowledge and belief. I am 

 now convinced this course has been one of the chief 

 causes of the rapid growth of my business— again veri- 

 tying the old adage, "honesty is the best policy." Be 

 this as it may, I tender profound and heartfelt thanks 

 to each and every one who has fa\'ored uie with his or her patronage. Dealing in seeds of the very finest varie- 

 ties and strains in existence, has not been enough to satisfy me. I theicfore have everything carefully tested by 

 the natural process in earth in my gi'eenhouses at Little Silver (not by the method practised by many seedsmen, 

 known as the laboratory process, which is both uncertain and unreliable) to prove germinating properties of the 

 seeds I offer and any that are found defective, even in a slight degree, are promptly discarded ; irrespective 

 of cost. 



I especially invite attention to the beautiful and valuable novelties in flowers and vegetables described on 

 pages 3 to 12.
