PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— PALM SEED. 



We book orders nowr and 



execute them as soon as the seeds 

 arrive which neckssakily will 



BE AT UIFFEUKNT SEASONS aS the 



time of ripening varies in different 

 species. 



We have made special arrange- 

 ments direct with collectors to 

 take large quantities, thereby \f;d, 

 enabling us to offer them at much 

 lower prices than they are usually 

 sold at, and thus getting them 

 direct, enables us to send out 

 fresh seed, which is of more im- 

 portance with this class than with 

 any seeds we are acquainted with. 



We shall be pleased to quote 

 specially for large orders, and if 

 there are any varieties wanted that 

 we do not herein catalogue, we 

 will try to procure them. All 

 correspondence in regard to such 

 will be promptly replied to.
