ADVICE AND TERMS 



TERMS. — Payment invariably at time of ordering or before shipment. We prefer to make, 

 no shipment C.O.D., but will ship in this way when twenty-five per cent, of the amount of 

 order is sent with the order, with return charges added. Remit by Postal Money Order, Reg- 

 istered Letter, Draft, or Express Money Order. 



Prices of this catalog abrogate previous quotations. The prices quoted are for the quan- 

 tities specified, but six, fifty or five hundred of a variety will be supplied at dozen, hundred, 

 and thousand rates respectively. 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 we 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. 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 have or- 

 dered and make unjust complaint. Ladies will oblige us by prefixing their names with "Miss" 

 or "Mrs.," as the case may be. We will do our 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 any order, but we 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 

 impossible to comply. No change or countermand of an order can be considered final without 

 our written consent. 



SHIPPING. — We deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which our 

 control ceases; consequently our responsibility also. We 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. 



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 our custom, should the supply of a variety become exhausted 

 (which occasionally occurs in all nurseries), to substitute in its stead a similar sort. When 

 it is desired that we 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. We 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 we do not, because we cannot, undertake to guarantee stock 

 to live. 



GUARANTEE. — We warrant our stock true to name, with the explicit understanding that 

 should any prove untrue, we will return the money paid or replace it with other stock; but 

 we are not liable for damage beyond this. A sure indication of the purity of our stock is the 

 fact that customers of former years continue to deal with us. 



LOCATION. — The Monmouth Nursery is one mile from Little Silver Depot, two miles 

 from Red Bank, thirty miles from New York City and five miles from Long Branch. To reach 

 it from New York, take the Central Railroad of New Jersey (foot of Liberty Street or 23rd 

 Street) or the Pennsylvania Railroad (Hudson Terminal or 32nd Street and Seventh Avenue). 

 From Philadelphia, take the Pennsylvania Railroad (Broad and Market Streets) or the Phila- 

 delphia and Reading Railroad (Bound Brook Route). 



Certificate of inspection is attached to each shipment. 



SHIPMENTS BY PARCEL POST 



Many plants offered can be shipped to advantage by parcel post; especially to nearby 

 points. On page 18 will be found a table of rates and of weights of such things as may be 

 forwarded by mail, by which patrons are enabled to determine the cost for postage. In order- 

 ing shipment by parcel post, please do not omit to send the proper amount to cover cost of 

 stamps. 



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

 ested in Small Fruit, Roses, Ornamental Trees and Plants.
