PETER HENDERSON & CO. -STRAWBERRIES. 



NEW SEEDLING STRAWBERRY, 



The "HENDERSON"." 



This NEW STRAWBERRY originated with Mr. George Sey- 

 mour, of South Norwalk, Conn., who named it in honor of our 

 senior partner, and who also places the variety exclusively with us 

 for distribution. Last summer was the first time that it was ever 

 offered for sale. It is doubtful if there is another Strawberry in 

 cultivation, having such a combination of good qualities, as the 

 "Henderson." The fruit is of the largest size, early and immensely 

 productive, but its excelling merit, is its exquisite flavor. It was 

 exhibited for the first time at the New York Horticultural Society's 

 j« Show, in 1883, an d while admired for its beautiful appearance, its 

 1 delicious flavor and aroma gave it a distinction and value above 

 m all others. 



Whether for family or market use, the "Henderson " is certain to 

 become a standard sort; — and its strong and healthy growth will 

 adapt it to every soil. It is what is known as a perfect flowered 

 variety, and therefore will never fail to produce a crop. Plants set 

 out as late as Sept. 25th, 1883, gave nearly a pint of fruit in June, 

 1884, or in nine months from date of planting.
