THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



TO get the best results it is necessary to get the best seeds. Every packet 

 of Henderson's seeds that is sold has behind it the accumulated ex- 

 perience of sixty-seven years of successful seed growing and selling. 

 Most of the accepted methods of seed testing and trials in use today originated 

 with the founder of our firm, and the methods that were the best three genera- 

 tions ago have been improved and bettered by us from year to year and are to- 

 day still the best. The initial cost of the seed is really the smallest cost and 

 it pays to be sure you have started right. 



The unknown quantity on your garden and farm is the quality of the seeds 

 you sow, and you cannot be too careful in making sure that you obtain the best 

 procurable. For many years the name of Peter Henderson & Co. has become 

 inseparably linked with all that is best in seeds, because our constant purpose 

 has always been — and will continue to be — to supply to our customers pure 

 seeds of the highest germinating power only.

The business founded by Peter Henderson is still carried on by his son, 

 Charles Henderson, and last year two grandsons of Peter Henderson, viz. : 

 Peter Henderson, son of Alfred Henderson (deceased), and Howard M. 

 Henderson, son of Charles Henderson, entered the business; thus insuring its 

 continuance along the lines laid down by its founder. 



In this country, where quick transitions in business are common, the worth of a 

 house carried successfully into the third generation should inspire confidence. 

 In no other business is this factor more essential. The purchaser of seeds should 

 consider the reputation of the house seeking his patronage before buying. 



Our Manual of "EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN," for 1914. 

 we consider the best we have ever issued, and the seeds, plants, bulbs, etc., 

 have been grown and selected with the same conscientious care which has 

 been our successful endeavor for 67 years. Those who have not received this 

 catalogue may obtain it free upon application by mentioning Gardeners' 

 Chronicle. We have in preparation our Farmers' Manual, Implement and 

 Lawn Catalogues and will mail these also as issued.
