HENDERSON'S COLLECTIONS OF VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



For the City Garden, (_^^~ ~^._j Suburban Garden 

 and Country Gentleman's Home. 



The frequent request from customers for an assortment of garden seeds for a garden 

 of small, medium or large dimensions, that will save them the trouble of selecting, has 

 induced us to offer the collections detailed below. Our long experience in selecting for 

 thousands of customers enables us to make up these collections so accurately of the best 

 standard sorts as to be suited to the majority of people who do not wish novelties. 



The seeds we put in are of our very best standard sorts, and the quantities are pro- 

 portioned to meet the requirements of such gardens as the titles indicate. As we 

 make up these collections in quantity before the busy season opens we are thereby 

 enabled to sell them for fully 25 per cent, less than they -would cost if the arti- 

 cles were selected separately ; so if two or three varieties included should be 

 of no use to you, you will still be getting the re- 

 mainder for less than catalogue rates. 



We can allow no alterations. 



With each collection we en- 

 close a pamphlet on the cultivation 

 of vegetables.
