PETER HENDERSON & CO.-INTRODUCTORY. 



At this Point 



we desire to call special attention to our announcement on third page of cover of an entirely new 

 book on American farming, written by William Crozier and Peter Henderson, entitled 



How the Farm Pays. 



This work was only published last October, and already the agricultural press and individual 

 endorsements of the great practical value of the book have been most gratifying and flattering. 



In our announcement on the cover of this Manual of "Hew the Farm Pays," we have made a 

 liberal extract from the introduction, as it gives a good idea of the peculiar and interesting manner 

 in which this book is written. The book is an octavo volume of over 400 pages, containing 235 

 illustrations, is printed on heavy paper of the best quality and is strongly bound in cloth. The price 

 is $2.50 per copy, or, following our usual practice with books in which we are interested, it may 

 be had as a Premium on orders from this Manual to the extent of $20.00 and upward. For con- 

 ditions, see page 4. 



We offer liberal inducements to agents and clubs who will push the sale of ' ' How the Farm 

 Pays" and will send circular of "Terms to Agents" free on application. 



Henderson's American Farmer's Manual is a Catalogue now for the 



first time published of such Seeds as are specially intended for Farm crops. It illustrates and offers 

 at reasonable prices the best known and most desirable varieties in Field Corn, W heat, 



Oats, Rye, Barley, Mangel Warzels and other Root Crops, Grasses, 



e>tc. It is now ready and will be mailed free to all who apply. 



How and When to Order. 



This Manual is usually in the hands of our regular customers by January 10th, and it would greatly aid us in 

 the execution of orders for Seeds if those intending to so favor us would forward their lists (if for Seeds or Imple- 

 ments, on Seed Order Sheet; and for Plants, made out on the Plant Order Sheet that accompanies this Catalogue) 

 as soon after its receipt as possible. Not only are early orders a relief to us, but very often, from various causes, 

 we cannot always accurately judge the probable demand, particularly in new things, and in consequence we often 

 run out of many articles long before the planting season has passed by. When Plants are ordered, the same re- 

 marks, with some modification as to season, will apply, although we again reiterate what we have in previous Cata- 

 logues stated, that we now ship these tender and perishable goods all the year round. Our light mode of packing, 

 a system originating with ourselves, obviates all danger of their not reaching customers in good order; at all events, 

 we will guarantee their safe arrival when sent either by express or mail. The safe arrival of all Seeds is also 

 guaranteed. 



Postage On Seeds. — As we do a large local trade, in justice to those of our customers who buy at our 

 counters, we have for several years based prices in this list on the purchaser adding postage when buying Seed in 

 bulk to be sent by mail. The postage we exact is this: that when seeds are ordered to be mailed in quantities of 3^ 

 lb. and upward, postage must be added to Catalogue prices at the rate of 16 cents per pound. As postage for Beans 

 and Peas, please add 30 cents per quart; and to Corn, 20 cents per quart to Catalogue prices. But when ordered 

 by the packet or ounce, either Vegetable or Flower Seeds will be sent by mail at Catalogue prices without extra 

 charge. 



About Forwarding and Remitting.— Every order is executed at once on its receipt, or a reason 

 given why it has not been sent, so that parties ordering may know that if goods are not received in proper time, it 

 is almost certain that the letter has not been received by us. Remittances should be made either in the form of a 

 Money Order, Bank Draft, Express Order, or Registered Letter. Remittances in any other way are entirely at the 

 sender's risk.
