ADVICE AND TERMS 



Please Read Carefully Before Ordering 



Payments Invariably in Advance. Goods are sent C. O. D. only when 25 per cent, of the 

 amount is sent with the order, with return charges added. Eemit by Postal Money Order 

 on Little Silver, N. J., Eeg^stered Letter, Draft or Express Money Order. Always enclose 

 remittance in same letter with order. Address all letters J. T. Lovett, Little Silver, N. J. 

 Western Union Telegraph Office at Little Silver, N. J., Postal Telegraph at Eed Bank, N. J. 

 Both offices are connected with my office by telephone. 



Prices of this catalogue abrogate previous quotations and are for the spring of 1908 only. 

 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; but hundred lots cannot 

 be made up at hundred rates, of less than fifty 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. 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. Please use Order Sheet, and be sure to write your 

 name and address plainly — give Post-Office, County and State — 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. 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 

 have ordered and make unjust complaint. 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 orders, but I 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 changes or countermand of an order can be considered as 

 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 

 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. Nursery stock shipped west of the Mississippi by freight has to be prepaid, and 

 orders for stock to such points by freight must be accompanied by a remittance to cover 

 freight charges, in addition to the price of stock ordered; the surplus, if any, will of course 

 be promptly returned to the party ordering. 



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

 with a price. Whenever 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 

 amount for postage called for included in the remittance. The rate of postage on plants to 

 Canadian points is now the same as to towns in the United States, viz., one cent per two 

 ounces. Nothing mailed at thousand rates. 



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 labelled. 



Substitution. — It is my custom, should the supply of a variety become exhausted (which 

 will occasionally 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 affi:x 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, care- 

 fully 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 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 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-Far go or Pacific Express via New York City. Upon all shipments of Plants and Vines a 

 discount of twenty per cent, is allowed on the hundred pound rate of merchandise; and the 

 charge is based, even for small shipments upon the 100 pound rate, the minimum charge, how- 

 ever, being 35c. on each shipment. Patrons will please insist that this discount is allowed when 

 paying charges. 



Should you receive two copies of this Catalogue, please hand one to a neighbor who is 

 interested in fruit culture.
