THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



277 



THE FIRM OF PETER HENDERSON & CO. was founded in 

 1 847, and the 68 years of success that are behind Henderson's Tested 

 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 1915. Our methods of seed 

 trials and seed testing, which were the best three generations ago, we have 

 improved upon from year to year and today are still the best. 



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 indissolubly 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. 



Three Generations 



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

 Henderson, Peter Henderson, son of Alfred Henderson (deceased), and 

 Howard M. Henderson, son of Charles Henderson, thus insuring its continu- 

 ance 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 1915, 

 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 68 years. Those who have not received this 

 catalog je 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.
