Monmouth Nursery and Seed House 



SINCE THE MONMOUTH NURSERY 

 was established, in 1878, the changes 

 that have taken place in connection 

 with it have been both great and many. 

 It is. however, with a sense of gratification 

 and relief that I announce the corporations 

 promoted by me, namely the J. T. Lovett 

 Co. and The Lovett Company, have both 

 ceased to do business, and the Monmouth 

 Nursery and Seed House are now under the 

 sole personal management of myself. With 

 no uncongenial associates to create discord or interfere in any way, 1 am now enabled to 

 operate unhampered, and give those who favor me with their orders better service and bet- 

 ter value even than in the past. In returning thanks to the patrons of the past. I do so with a 

 sense of profound gratitude, and 1 sincerely hope that 1 may hear from each and every one 

 of them during the coming Spring, — the patrons of the J. T. Lovett Co. and The Lovett 

 Company. — and I will be especially pleased to hear from the patrons of old of J. T. Lovett. 



My seed business will be continued at 40 Broad Street, Red Bank, N. J., the same as 

 last year, but the main office of the business will in future be located at Little Silver, upon 

 the same spot and in the same building it was twenty-two years ago. where 1 will esteem 

 it a rare privilege to welcome all the friends and patrons of The Monmouth Nursery who 

 mav find it possible to call. 



In order to have virgin soil upon which to grow Fruit Trees and Plants, and in a place 

 removed from all infestation of the dreaded San Jose" Scale. 1 am now growing my Fruit 

 Trees and Small Fruit Plants (except a portion of my Strawberry Plants) at Deal. 

 Monmouth Countv. N. J. At this point 1 have in bearing over fifty acres of the choicest 

 varieties of the Small Fruits, — adjoining the " Ideal"' City by the Sea, — and to which 

 delightful retreat I extend a cordial invitation to all to come and see my fruits, and 



Your humble servant, J. T. LOVETT.
