THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 295 



Since 1847 



The firm of Peter Henderson & Co. was founded 

 in 1 847 and the 66 years of successful seed-raising and 

 selling that is behind every packet of Henderson's seeds 

 must and does make them the best that it is possible to 

 buy. In your grandfather's day Henderson's was the 

 standard by which other seeds were judged, and the 

 same condition exists in 1913. Our methods of seed 

 testing which were the best three generations ago have 

 been improved upon from year to year, and are today 

 still the best. 



The unknown quantity in your garden and on your 

 grounds is the quality of the seeds you plant and you 

 cannot be too careful in seeing that you obtain the best 

 procurable. Possibly as critical planters as any, in the 

 choice of their seeds, are the market gardeners or truck 

 farmers. As an endorsement of the quality of Hender- 

 son's seeds, w^e take pride in the fact, that Peter Hen- 

 derson & Co. supply a larger number of professional 

 growlers than any tw^o seed houses in the w^orld. The 

 very existence of these men depends upon their receiv- 

 ing the best quality of seeds, and Peter Hen- 

 derson & Co. are easily pre-eminent in the 

 professional grow^ing field. Hendersons 

 seeds are tested seeds. 



Our 1913 catalogue, "Everything for the 

 Garden," is the handsomest v/e have ever 

 issued. We shall be glad to send you a copy 

 without charge if you will mention the Gar- 

 deners' Chronicle.
