\i\ Superb G°l° p ed Packets for Retailing. 



(SEE SPECIMENS ON PACES 35 AND 39. 1 



Practically all of our seeds are now put up in elegantly lithographed packets, 

 showing the vegetable or flower represented in natural colors. The de- 

 signs were painted true from nature by our own artist; the lithographing 

 has been executed in the finest manner, each packet being really a work of 

 art. as much superior to the colored packets usually sent out as are the seeds 

 they contain, for we put in them absolutely the same high grade seeds that 

 we use for our own critical retail trade. These, when displayed in our new 

 counter boxes and display cases {described on the following pages), makes a 

 very attractive appearance, worthy of a prominent position in any store. 

 For descriptions of varieties and retail prices see our Retail Catalogue, 

 mailed free on application.

• • WE DO NOT "COMMISSION" OR PLACE OUR SEEDS OUT "ON SALE.'' 



We are strongly opposed to the system of selling seeds on •'commission" on account of the large percentage of boxes which 

 often get into the hands of indifferent parties who sell none at all or only a very few packets. Large quantities have, therefore, 9 » 



to be destroyed or used over and over again, and the increased cost of our selected seeds render such a system impracticable. , 



In no case are the choicest and best germinating stocks used for commission boxes. The public, too, are becoming 

 • • aware of this and avoid "commission" seeds, while ours are eagerly sought after, because they are of the very best quality 



and such as are supplied to our most critical market gardening trade. 



Our magnificent catalogues will be furnished free to all who sell Peter Henderson & Co's 

 SEEDS, and will be supplied in quantities proportionate to the value of their orders. 



If you handle our seeds annually, and when your orders justify it. we will print 

 your name, address, and business card on the front cover and supply you with a reasonable 

 quantity without charge. 



Colored Posters and Hangers. We have several handsome designs in both vegetable 

 and flower seed hangers which will be furnished free to all who sell our seeds.
