CUSTOMERS SAY, 
‘IN GERMINATING POWER. 
IN HEALTHY, VIGOROUS GROWTH. 
Our system of discarding all weakly growing sorts and all inferior small and dull 
colored varieties, and offering only the ‘‘cream,’’ is now beginning to be appreciated. 
Read the following encomiums—we have hundreds of more letters of same purport.

From HENRY D,. HYNDS, Atlanta, Ga.: 
“The picture I send you represents Sweet 
Peas grown from Henderson’s Seeds; vines 7 
to 8 feet, stems very long and flowers much 
larger than those sold by protessional florists. 
Atter experimenting with Sweet Peas for a 
number of years I find your Seeds the best, 
our selections the choicest and your blooms 
the largest and most brilliant.” 
From L.W. BURDECK, Williamstown, Mass.-> 
“Last spring I grew your Sweet Pea Seeds 
and must say that in an experience of 40 years 
1 never before had such strong growth ofvines 
united with such persistent blooming. Several 
times our Sweet Peas were the subject of quite 
an item in the local papers. I can recommend 
your Sweet Peas for their strong growth and 
tree blooming.’’ 
From A. J. McCCAUGHRIN, Newberry, S. C.: 
ai planted your Sweet Peas by your printed 
directions and have beat the town. They 
are6 to7 feet high; have been in bloom two 
months. No ‘firing’ as yet, notwithstanding 
hot weather and no rain for weeks. Some of 
them had stems 12 inches long and flowers 142 
inches in diameter.” 
From M.E.CALHOUN, Wolfville, Nova Scotia: 
“T thought you would be interested in know- 
in& how entirely successful I have been with 
the Sweet Peas raised from your seed. I had 
fifty packages planted in two rows, 111 feet 
long and 4 feet apart. I followed your direc- 
tions, and the result has been most satistac- 
tory. Every variety came up andI have had 
literally millions of blooms, the coloring per- 
fect. They are still blooming in great pro~ 
fusion and will until frost kills the plants.”
