HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS AND TERMS 



TERMS. — Payment should be made at time of ordering or before shipment. We prefer to make 

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

 amount of an order is sent with the order, with return charges added. Kindly remit by Postal Money Order, 

 Registered Letter, Draft, or Express Money Order. 



Prices in this catalog abrogate previous quotations. The prices quoted are for the quantities specified, 

 but six, fifty or five hundred of a variety will be supplied at dozen, hundred, and thousand rates, respectively. 

 Hundred lots may not be made up at hundred rates of less than fifty of a variety; and thousand lots may 

 not 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 under- 

 take 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 points 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 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 season, when many orders are received 

 and dispatched in a day, it would, in some cases, be almost impossible to comply. No change or counter- 

 mand of an order may 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. Trans- 

 portation 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 occa- 

 sionally 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, should 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, carefully 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 con- 

 tinue to deal with us. 



LOCATION.— Lovett's Nursery is one mile from Little Silver Depot, two miles from Red Bank, 

 forty 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 Rail- 

 road (Broad and Market Streets) or the Philadelphia 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. In this 

 catalog 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 ordering shipment by parcel post, please do 

 not omit to send the proper amount to cover cost of stamps, together with cost of insurance. 



Should you receive two copies of this catalog, please hand one to a neighbor who is interested in Small 

 Fruits, Trees, Roses, Hardy Flowers and Plants.
