PETER HENDERSON & CO.-INTRODUCTORY. 



6tll. Our new and improved system of green-houses covers nearly four and 

 one-half acres solid in glass, unquestionably the most extensive on this Continent. 

 These structures are so arranged that they can be graded to any temperature, so 

 that the most perfect health and vigor is given to the Plants, and with such un- 

 equaled facilities for their production, it will be quickly seen that we can com- 

 pete with any in the matter of prices. 



7th. That we guarantee the safe arrival of all goods, whether forwarded 

 by mail or express. 



8th. That in offering our various Books on Gardening, as premiums on 

 orders, we make (see page 4) practically an average discount of fifteen per cent, 

 from the prices named in this Manual, and this should always be remembered 

 if a comparison of prices is made. In this connection we may be pardoned if 

 we digress far enough to say that it is a great satisfaction for us to know that 

 the books referred to, written by our Mr. Peter Henderson, have not only 

 enabled thousands of amateurs to practice successfully in the field of Horti- 

 culture, but that his works have also been the direct means of causing thou- 

 sands to embark as market gardeners and florists, and in thus opening up and 

 pointing the way to successful culture, we are justified in claiming, that these 

 books have since their first publication added millions of dollars to the wealth 

 of the nation. 



9th. That except in rare cases, all orders for Seeds and Plants are for- 

 warded the day after they are received by us. We have reason to know that 

 our promptness in this respect, particularly in the dispatching of Seeds, is fully 

 appreciated. 



10th. Finally, after the above array of facts, there still remains the 

 inducement, that you can always buy anything here offered as cheaply from 

 us as from sources that do not possess the advantages we certainly hold. So 

 that if in doubt where to send your orders, we feel that we can urge you to 

 make a start with us, and see whether the care we claim to exercise is not 

 made manifest in the most satisfactory results.
