Quality and Reputation 



A LL of the seeds, plants and bulbs that you purchase are 

 •*• *- bought on the reputation of the seller. Even the most 

 thoroughly trained seedsman or horticulturist is unable to give 

 a satisfactory opinion without exhaustive tests, and with this 

 fact in mind it is always desirable to first investigate the repu- 

 tation of your seedsman. The business of Peter Henderson 

 & Co., was established in 1847 and has been built to its present 

 proportions by the most careful attention to quality. 



The third generation of Hendersons are in charge today and there is 

 something more than just aplain businessrelationship existing between them- 

 selves, their employees and their customers. When you buy Henderson's 

 seeds you buy 69 years of experience; you buy the prestige and reputation 

 of years of successful seed raising and selling; you buy .seeds that have 

 behind them the sentiment brought out by many years of careful, consci- 

 entious attention to our customers and their wants. The very smallest part 

 of the cost is represented by the seeds and it is by far the most important. 

 Try the Henderson way this year and see if there isn't a difference. 



"Everything for the Garden" is the Title of our Annual Catalogue 



It is really a book of 206 pages, handsomely bound, with a beautifully 

 embossed cover, 14 color plates and 1,000 half tones, direct from photographs, showing actual 

 results without exaggeration. It is a library of everything worth while, either in farm, garden or home.
