Rose Why ROSES EVERGREENS Plant in PERENNIALS HARDY SHRUBS the FALL? HEDGE PLANTS FRUIT STOCK See page “GAIN -A-SEASON” at CATALOG 193/ LOVETTS ERY LITTLE SILVER NEW JERSEY Nature Plants in the Fall Here’s a Hint for You Nature works six to eight months ahead—by planting the majority of her seeds in the Fall. Grass and tree seeds, seeds of annuals, and a host of other seeds are dropped and covered in the Fall so they will be growing throughout the Winter and have a good start when things warm up in the Spring. Man is the one who has done the most of his planting in the Spring. Here are some good reasons. for changing: 1—The ground is warm and easy to work. In the Spring it is often water-soaked which may delay you. 2—Fall rains supply plenty of moisture without making the ground soggy. 3—You have more time in the Fall. Spring often comes with a rush and the work is not done so well because of the multitude of duties to perform about the place. 4—Plants moved in the Fall get well settled and quietly send out new roots and make steady growth dur- ing the Winter months. Thus they have stored up extra vitality and are ready to bloom earlier— they are thoroughly acclimated. This is especially true of Roses, Peonies, Irises and Evergreens. 5—There is now a complete selection of this nursery—whereas in the Spring many varieties are apt to be sold out. 6—F all is the ideal time to grade your grounds, reseed or make new lawns, set evergreens, plant perennials, Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Boxwood, Laurel, Roses, shrubs, trees, bulbs, Peonies (Fall is only time), etc. Try it this year and watch next Spring. You'll be so delighted that you will write and thank us for urging you. Please Read This Page Carefully Special Notice—The best assurance for you of the purity of our stock, and evidence of the extreme care we exercise in keeping it clean and true to name is that we number among our best customers thousands who, year after year, continue to select our stock exclusively for their needs. Should any stock prove to be not up to our usual grade, we shall be happy to replace it, or to return the money paid, but it 1s understood that we are not liable for any amount ‘beyond our replacement or refund offer. Certificate of inspection 1s attached to each shipment. HOW TO ORDER—To insure receipt of stock when wanted, order as early as possible. Be sure that your name and address are clearly written. In your address give post office, county and state, and state clearly to what points goods are to be sent. If shipping address is different than residence post office, be sure that you give us the correct shipping point. 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, properly labeled, of course. 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. SHIPPING—We deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which our control ceases, conse- quently our responsibility also. We particularly caution patrons against ordering Perennial Plants and Straw- berry 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 arranged otherwise. SHIPMENTS BY PARCEL POST—Many plants offered can be shipped to advantage by parcel post, espe- cially to nearby points. If such method of shipment is desired, kindly consult the subheading of the desired article for cost of transportation. Any overpayment will be refunded by us immediately after shipment goes forward. 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 25 per cent of the amount of an order is sent with the order, with return charges added. Please do not ask us to open accounts for less than $10.00 orders. Prices in this catalog cancel previous quotations. The prices quoted are for the quantities 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. 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 15 days from receipt of goods, will not be entertained. We endeavor to 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 we do not, because we cannot, undertake to guarantee stock to live.
