ADVICE AND TERMS. 



Please Read Carefully Before Ordering. 



Payments invariable in advance. Goods sent C. O. D. only when one-fourth the amount is sent with order, with 

 charges fur returning- money added to bill. 



Remit by Money Order on Little Silver, N. J., Registered 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 Red Bank, 

 N. J. Alwaj-s enclose 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 

 I ca?inot promise to do so. During the rush of the shipping season, when several hundred 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. 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, rasp- 

 berries and other Small Fruits cannot be made up at hundred rates, of less than fift^ of a variety ; and thousand lots 

 cannot be made up at thousand rates, of less than five hundred of a variety. 



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 ; also state distinctly the size or grade of Trees or 

 Plants ordered, 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 Trees, 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. The prices of this Catalogue abrogate all previous quotations, and are for the Spring of 1901 only. 



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, as in the case of large Trees. 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, Bulbs, 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. 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 recommend that Nursery Stock be shipped by 

 express or freight rather than by mail, whenever practicable, as larger stock can then be sent. I particularly caution patrons 

 against ordering Strawberry, Greenhouse and Herbaceous Plants shipped by freight ; they should ahvays go by express, or in 

 small lots by mail. Stock to be shipped west of the Mississippi River, has to be prepaid, and orders must be accompanied by 

 twenty-five per cent, of the value of goods ordered, in addition to their cost, for this purpose ; the surplus if any, will in all 

 cases, of course, be promptly returned to the party ordering. Transportation charges on all goods shipped by freight or 

 express are to be paid by the purchaser . 



Special Low Express Rates, By special arrangement I secure for my patrons a low express rate on all ship- 

 ments that do not go by mail or freight. 



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 wit h 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. 



\gg~Shouldyou receive two copies of this Catalogue please hand one to any neighbor who may be interested in fruit culture.
