TESTED SEEDS 



The smallest portion of the cost of your garden is the seed cost, and yet 

 it is the one in which unwise economy, either in time or money, is very 

 often practised with an inevitable loss. To get the best and all the possible 

 results, you should use the best seeds procurable. Every packet of 

 Henderson's Seeds that is sold has behind it the experience of 66 years of 

 successful seed growing and selling. Our methods of seed testing and 

 trials that were the best three generations ago have been improved and 

 bettered by us from year to year, and are, to-day, still the best; Hender- 

 son's are tested seeds. 



1,000% Profit 



sounds like the wildest kind of a "Get-Rich-Quick" scheme, but 

 it is an absolute and conservative statement of what has been and 

 is being accomplished every year at an expense of a few dollars for 

 Henderson's Seeds. In the present acute agitation of the 



High Cost of Living 



sufficient emphasis has not been placed on the possibility of every 

 man holding a partial solution of this grave question in his own 

 hands, of every consumer being his own producer. At a little ex- 

 pense for seeds, a small plot of ground, even so small as 25 x 50 

 feet, will grow all the vegetables an average family will consume. 

 During the summer half of your living cost is for the things that 

 should come out of your own garden. Latter day methods and 

 higher quality of seeds have made it possible to cultivate the small 

 tract so that a plot of 25 x 50 feet with a reasonable amount of 

 cultivation and planted with seeds of a tested quality, such as 

 Henderson's should supply all the vegetables required by a family 

 of six or seven. You do not have to share the profits of your own 

 garden with jobbers, middlemen or retailers. 



"Everything for the Garden" 



is the title of our annual catalogue. It is a book of 212 pages, 

 handsomely bound, with a beautifully embossed cover, 8 colored 

 plates and 800 illustrations, most of them half tones, direct from 

 photographs, showing actual results without exaggeration. It is a 

 library of everything worth while, either in farm, or garden, or 

 home.
