ADVICE 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 quan¬ 
tities 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 
undertake 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 point goods are to be sent. Keep a correct copy of the order 
and check off the plants, etc., when they arrive. Persons sometimes 1 forget what they have or¬ 
dered 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 sea¬ 
son, when many orders are received and dispatched in a day, it would, in some cases, be almost 
impossible to comply. No change or countermand 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. Transportation 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 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. 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, care¬ 
fully 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 continue to deal with us. 
LOCATION. —The Monmouth 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 23rrt 
Street) or the Pennsylvania Railroad (Hudson Terminal or 32nd Street and Seventh Avenue). 
From Philadelphia, take the Pennsylvania Railroad (Broad and Market Streets) or the Phila¬ 
delphia 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 order¬ 
ing 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 inter¬ 
ested in Small Fruits, Trees, Roses, Hardy Flowers and Plants.
