THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



31 



TkJEVER before have business conditions been so disturbed as in the present year. Trained men have been 

 *■ w withdrawn from every line to put the country on a war basis. And the seed trade has been no excep- 

 tion to the rule, hence we urge our customers to send in their orders at once, before the Spring rush begins. 

 It will be a vast help to us in doing our part in feeding the country to be able to execute orders in February 

 that in ordinary times come to us in March and April. So, whether you buy from us or any other seed 

 house, send in your order early. s-\ . . 



"Better Gardens" 



Make your garden a "better garden" this year — not only by better meth- 

 ods — but by planting seeds of known quality. The initial cost of the 

 seeds is one of the smallest items in your garden but it is the most 

 important and you cannot get the fullest results unless you have started 

 right. Henderson's seeds are Tested Seeds. Our seventy-one years of 

 seed raising, testing and selling has given us an unequalled experience that 

 is back of every packet of seed we sell. Not only must your seeds be the 

 best but your methods must be right. And to help in this we have 

 prepared a booklet entitled "Better Gardens." This consists of extracts 

 from the book "Garden Guide and Record," which we have published 

 for a number of years for the use of our customers only. "Better 

 Gardens" will be sent to all who send us ten cents for our special 

 offer below. 



"Everything for the Garden" is the title of our 191 8 cata- 

 logue. It is really a book of 192 pages, with 16 colored plates and over 

 1000 halftones, all from actual photographs showing actual results 

 without exaggeration. It is a library of everything worth while, either 

 in farm, garden or home.
