ADVICE AND TERMS. 



Please Read Carefully Before Ordering.

 Please do not send private checks. Money Orders from Canada and otlier foreign countries should be made 

 payable at Red Bank, N. J. Always enclose your remittance in same letter with order. Address all 

 letters. J. T. Lovett, Little Silver, N. J. Telegraph Office at Little Silver, N. J. Also Telephone 

 connections. 



Payments invariably in advance. Goods sent C. O. D. only when one-fourth the amount is sent with 

 order, with charges for returning money added to bill. 



How to Order. Order early. Please 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 to liie ; also state distinctly 

 the size or grade of Trees or Plants ordered, and be particuhir to say always how the goods are to be sent — 

 whetiier by mail, express, or freight. Keep a correct copy of the order and check off the Seeds, Trees, 

 Plants, etc., when they arrive. Persons sometimes forget what they order and make unjust complaint. 

 Lndies will oblige me by prefixing their names with " Miss" or " Mrs.," as the case may be. The prices of 

 this Catalogue abrogate all previous quotations, and are for the Spring of 1900 only. 



Seeds. Lovett's Tested Seeds are surpassed by none in this country in merit or in vitality and 

 purity. I pay postage on all seeds ordered by the packet, ounce, quarter-pound, and pound, at prices 

 affixed, but not on pints, quarts, and larger quantities of Beans. Peas, Corn, or other articles sold by measure, 

 except as noted. If ordered to be sent by express or freight the purchaser nvay deduct ten cents per 

 pound from the prices quoted. Please nde the very generom Premiams on orders for seeds by tlte packet 

 and ounce, on Page 35. 



Trees and Plants. I send Trees and Plants b>j mail pDSipnid, if requested, wherever so noted in con- 

 nection with a price. When the price does not include postage, the rate of postage is given on all meulable 

 articles, under each heading. Where nothing is said as to postage, the goods are unmailable. as in the case 

 of Lru iie Trees \V"hen Plants are to be sent by mail, it must be so stated in the order and the necessary 

 amount for postage included in the remittance. Please note that the rates of postage to Canada on 

 Plants, etc., are double that of the United States ; hence in ordering goods by mail, ('anadian customers 

 will please remit double the amount of postage asked for. Nothing by mail at thousand rates. I recom- 

 mend that Fruit Trees and Plants be shipped by express or freight whenever practicable, as larger stock 

 can then be sent. I particularly caution patrons against ordering Strawberry, Greenhouse, and Herbaceous 

 Plants shipped by freiglit ; they should, always go by express, or in small lots by mail. The prices quoted are 

 for the quantities specitied, but six, fifty, and five hiuulred of a variety will be sup])lied at dozen, hundred, 

 and thousand rates rcspi-ctively. With apples, peais, peaches, and other Pkuit Trees, Jifty in assorted 

 varieties of a class ma y !>.■ orde red tit h undred rates and five hundred at thousand rates , but hundred lots of 

 strawberries, raspberries, and other S.mall Fruits 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. 



Transportation Charges on all goods shipped by Express or Freight are to be paid by the purchaser. 



Packing is executed with the utmost care. Speciid pains are taken to pack Hglttly, thereby reducing 

 the exjjense of transportation to a minimum All goods at prices quoted are packed free. Everything is 

 labeled. 



Shipping. I deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which my control ceases, conse- 

 quently my responsibility also. Stock shipped west of the Mississippi River by freight has to be prepaid 

 and ordi is for stock to such points to be thus shipped must be accompanied by a remittance to cover 

 freight chari;es in addition to amount for same as per quotations-; the surplus, if any, will in all cases, of 

 course be promptly returned to the party ordering State plainly to what point goods are to be sent. 



Guarantee. I warrant my stock true to name, with the explicit understanding that should any not 

 prove so I will refund the money ])aid or replace it with other stock, but I am not liable for damages 

 beyond this. X sure indication of the purity of my stock is the fact that customers of former years con- 

 tinue to deal with me. 



Substitution, It is my custom, should the supply of a variety be exhausted (which will occasionally 

 occur in all establishments), to substitute in its stead a sinnlar sort or give the value of another grade of the 

 variety named. When it is desired that I shall not do this, it must be so stated in the order. To sinq)ly 

 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 cheei-fully 

 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, carefully 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 1 

 cannot, undertake to guarantee stock to live. 



Additions and Changes. Twill do my ntfnost 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 

 ■prontis' to do so. During the rush of the shipping season, when several hundred orders tire 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 as final without my written consent. 



Special Low Express Rates. By special arrangement I secure for niy patrons a low express rate on 

 all shipments that do not go by mail or freight.
