Look Forward to a Year 
of Garden Joys 
CMake this a Henderson Garden Year 
If you garden for the sheer joy of raising better and more beautiful flowers; if your 
motivating reason is that of increasing the value of your property, or to supply your 
table with the highest quality and most delicious vegetables; if you garden for any 
one or all of these reasons—then yours should certainly be a Henderson Garden. It 
will be a constant source of joy and satisfaction. 
There have been certain years during the course of our eventful history when we 
have found it well nigh impossible to contain our excitement and enthusiasm, when 
it seemed that we could not get our catalog on the press fast enough, in order to 
tell our patrons and friends the good news of some particularly valuable introduc- 
tion. We felt that way back in 1889 when we introduced the Henderson Bush Lima— 
again in 1891 when we introduced the Ponderosa Tomato—again in 1914 when we 
introduced the Golden Ponderosa Tomato—also in 1922 when we introduced the 
Tender-green Bean—and we feel that way again this year, for we are introducing 
and offering two history making novelties, viz., the Crystal White Tomato Cillus- 
trated on the Dace cover) and the Ipomoea Greater Glories Gillustrated on the front 
cover. ). 
Besides these epoch making introductions, our catalog contains 
the best of the All-America Selections, as well as many other new 
and old popular favorites. 
We are ever grateful for the yalued patronage of our loyal 
friends and customers, and to those who are new to the art of 
gardening, we only ask that they may let themselves be convinced 
of the joys in store for them by planting a Henderson Garden this 
ear. 
Very truly yours, f
