HENDERSON'S SEEDS AND SERVICE WILL 

 INSURE COMPLETE SATISFACTION 



Great strides have been made during the past few years in the growing 

 interest in home gardening and community development. As more and 

 more folks, both young and old, begin to realize the happiness and 

 benefits that a garden can give, their enthusiasm reaches far beyond 

 their gates and is reflected in the charm and beauty of the community in 

 which they live. The motivating force of the gardener's enthusiasm is 

 the success and results he obtains from the seeds and plants he has 

 planted in his garden. Every gardener can insure this success by 

 planting seeds, etc., of known quality. 



All Henderson customers know that year in and year out they can depend 

 upon the uniform high quality of Henderson's Tested Seeds. Over a 

 century of experience and know how gives them this confidence. This 

 year we are pleased to offer to our customers many new and improved 

 varieties of flowers and vegetables for their aesthetic enjoyment in the 

 Garden Beautiful and for their physical enjoyment in the Garden Bountiful. 

 To our old friends and customers we express our sincere appreciation and 

 thanks for their loyal patronage, and to our new customers we are "grate- 

 ful to have the opportunity of proving that one hundred and two years 

 of successful seed service is not an empty slogan. 



Sincerely yours,
