SEEDS, PLANTS, BULBS, ETC 



Peter Henderson & Co/s 

 SUPERIOR SEEDS, PLANTS, BULBS, Etc. 



ARE GENUINE ONLY 



WHEN SUPPLIED BY THEM DIRECT TO THE PLANTER 



By only supplying the planter direct — and not dividing profits 

 with dealers, storekeepers, etc. — we are able to supply, 

 at the lowest possible prices, THE BEST SEEDS, 

 BULBS, Etc., THE WORLD PRODUCES. 



By only supplying the planter direct customers are protected from having other seeds foisted upon them as "Henderson's." 



By only supplying the planter direct we remove the 

 tendency to dangerously cheapen production, which 

 successful competition for the dealer's trade continually 

 demands.

Customers can also shop by Express, as all express com-

 make no charge, other than usual rates, for returning goods. 



Goods wanted C. O. D. must have 25 per cent, of the amount 

 accompany the order. 



Give full shipping instructions on each and every order 

 you send. 



When orders are not accompanied with cash, parties who 

 have no account with us must furnish satisfactory reference, 

 New York City preferred, on account of a saving in time. 

 Charge orders from unknown parties not accompanied with 

 reference will be delayed pending the usual investigation. 



Be sure to sign your name and give your address. Many 

 orders reach us lacking either or both ; customers when writing 

 about unsigned orders will aid us in identification by mentioning 

 some of the articles ordered. 



Every order is filled the day after arrival, or is acknowl- 

 edged if, under rare circumstances, its shipment is likely to be 

 delayed. If goods, notification of shipment or acknowledgment 

 of order is not received by the customer after a reasonable lapse 

 of time, it may be assumed that the order has miscarried, or 

 that the name or address was omitted from the order. We will, 

 when notified of such , use our best efforts to trace it without delay. 



PETER HENDERSON & CO. give no warranty, express 

 or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any 

 other matter of any Seeds, Bulbs or Plants they send out, and 

 they will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the pur- 

 chaser does not accept the goods on these terms, they are at 

 once to be returned.

BEWARE OF FRAUDULENT TRAVELING AGENTS.— 



Every season we have complaints from different sections of the 

 country of parties who fraudulently represent us and collect 

 money in our name. All remittances should be sent direct to 

 our firm. 



GARDENERS AND HEAD=FARMERS' SITUATIONS.— 

 We have at all times a number of practical gardeners and farm 

 managers' names on our book who are in want of situations. 

 If parties desiring such will write to us we shall be glad to put 

 them in communication with men that we deem suitable. To 

 aid us in making a selection we ask full particulars, whether a 

 married or single man is wanted and the nature of the situation 

 to be filled, also about what they expect to pay and any other 

 particulars. We make no charge for this service, either to 

 employer or employee.
