J. T. LOVETT, INC., LITTLE SILVER. N. J.— SHADE TREES 



DECIDUOUS TREES 



Of Maples, Elms, Poplars, Lindens, etc., we carry a full stock of varieties and sizes; prices 

 of which will be given upon request. Owing to the difficulty of packing Shade Trees in 

 small quantities (especially of the larger sizes) with other nursery stock, we list in this 

 catalog the popular varieties only and these of sizes that can readily be packed for shipment. 



They are all much too large for shipment by mail. They must go by freight or express. 



A dozen of a variety will be supplied at ten times the price of one (six for five times the 

 ^rice of one). Price per 100 promptly given upon request; also for varieties other than thg^e 

 named.
