ARE SAFE INVESTMENTS 



In your financial investments, the object you seek above all 

 others, is safety; when you plant a crop you are making an invest- 

 ment. You are investing your labor and your time, with the hope 

 that you will obtain a good crop. If your seeds were obtained from a 

 questionable source, your investment is hazardous, your security nil. 



\our confidence in a financial institution is founded upon its reputation, its age, its 

 experience, its personnel. It is therefore obvious that when you contemplate the purchase 

 of seeds, the same deciding factors should prevail. 



If you buy Henderson's seeds, you buy reliability; you buy the accumulated experience 

 of 77 years; and the reputation of an American Seedhouse, that is being successfully 

 carried on by the third generation; you buy the Henderson service. 



It is our desire to co-operate and serve planters in every possible way. Owners and 

 Managers of Farms are cordially invited to draw to the fullest extent on the knowledge 

 and experience of our experts. If you have any soil, fertilizing, or seeding problems, and 

 these problems continually arise on farms, get in touch with us. When our expert makes 

 a recommendation, he is speaking, not only with the authority of his own experience, but 



back of him are the data and collective experience derived 

 through thousands of tests, experiments, and the observa- 

 tion of every known farm crop under all possible conditions. 



FARM MANAGERS — We 

 have always on hand applica- 

 tions by competent men for 

 positions as farm and estate 

 managers, men who have been 

 trained in the business and are 

 well posted on agriculture 

 generally, also the raising and 

 care of all kinds of live stock. 

 We will be very pleased 

 to enter into corres- 

 pondence with those 

 who require the ser- 

 vices of such. We 

 make no charge for 

 this to employer or 

 employee.
