PETER HENDERSON & CO.-INTRODUCTORY. 



PETER HENDERSON'S BOOKS MAY BE HAD FREE 



in the shape of premiums on orders made up from this Manual. The terms and conditions 

 necessary to secure the books are given in detail below, and customers are requested to read the 

 conditions of our offers carefully. We adopted this plan of offering our books a dozen years ago, 

 and in that time have probably distributed 50,000 copies in this way alone. A short account of the 

 ■scope of each book will be found at bottom of this page, but all will be found more fully described 

 on the inside pages of the cover of this Manual. 



OFFER No. 1. 



On all orders from this Manual, accompanied by the money, amounting to $5.00 and 

 upward (in one order), the purchaser can obtain, without charge, "Garden and Farm Topics." 

 (Value, $1.50.) 



OFFER l\lo. ^. 



On all orders from this Manual, accompanied by the money, amounting to $10.00 and upward 

 (in one order), purchasers can obtain without charge their selection of either "Gardening for 

 Profit," "Practical Floriculture," or ' '' Gardening for Pleasure." (The value of which 

 is $1.50 each.) 



OFFER No. 3. 



On all orders from this Manual, accompanied by the money, amounting to $20.00 and upward 

 (in one order), purchasers may select any two of the three books named in Offer No. 2, or instead 

 a copy of " Henderson's Hand-book of Plants" (value $3.00), or if they desire, a copy of the new 

 Farm Book, " How the Farm Pays." (Value, $3.50.) 



We have tried to make the terms so clear that there can be no misunderstanding, and we have 

 only to add one more condition — but it is an imperative one — and that is, whenever an order is sent 

 that carries any of our books as a premium, the book or books desired must be selected at the 

 time, and if you fail in ordering to state the book you want, do not be disappointed if we fail to 

 honor subsequent demands made for it.
