LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



ADVICE AND TERMS 



Pot-grown Strawberry Plants should be shipped by express; they cannot well be mailed on account of 

 the heavy ball of earth at the roots and the delays incidental to freight shipments are often fatal to them. 

 It is customary for nurserymen not to offer ordinary or layer plants until late in the season, for the reason 

 that, during the summer, the plants are putting forth their runners and making their increase, and to dis- 

 turb the beds at this season causes the destruction and loss of thousands of unrooted plants. 



KNOWING the characteristics of each variety offered we can often make selections for our patrons 

 better than they can for themselves. When it is desired that we shall do this, please state the general char- 

 acter of the soil to be planted — light or heavy — and whether early, late or a succession of fruit is desired. 



We cannot accept an order of less amount than $1.00. 



Payments invariably in advance. Goods sent C.O.D. only when twenty-five per cent, of the amount 

 is forwarded with order, with return charges added. Remit by Postal Money Order, Registered Letter, 

 New York Draft or Express Money Order. Always enclose remittance with the order. 



Everything offered in this pamphlet is packed free of charge and delivered to forwarders, after which 

 our control ceases, consequently our responsibility also. State plainly to what point goods are to be sent. 

 The prices quoted for strawberry plants are for pot-grown plants in all instances and for the quantities 

 specified; but six and fifty of a variety will be supplied at dozen and hundred rates, respectively. Less than 

 50 of a variety go at dozen rates. We cannot accept orders for less than six plants of a variety of straw- 

 berries. 



A ten per cent, discount off the 100 rate will be granted on lots of 500 or over. 



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. 



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 of receipt of goods will not be entertained. 

 We send out only good plants and in good condition, carefully packed in all cases; but success or failure 

 depends, in so large a degree, upon care and management after received, that we do not, because we cannot, 

 undertake to guarantee stock to live.
