DECADES of PROGRESS 



(Dedicated to (he Gardeners 

 of CAmerica 



In 1847, Peter Henderson planted the seed 

 of our business which grew into a strong 

 seedling under the careful nurturing it re- 

 ceived from him and the succeeding gen- 

 erations of Hendersons. 



Now at the termination of a century of 

 progress, it is still growing and distributing 

 its products to the four corners of the earth. 

 Besides supplying the Gardeners of Ameri- 

 ca with the finest strains of seeds obtain- 

 able. Henderson's seeds are also exported 

 to all parts of the world. During the war. 

 transport planes carried them to Army 

 bases everywhere. After the debris of 

 bombed houses was removed from many 

 of the lots in the city of London, Hender 

 son's vegetable seeds — which were shipped 

 through the agency of "American Seeds 

 for British Soil" — were planted to produce 

 crops which materially relieved the hunger 

 of many of the war-famished people of 

 London 



It is of no particular significance to out 

 customers that we have reached the cen- 

 tury mark. It is. however, of special sig 

 nificance to us, that over this long period 

 of years we have merited the confidence 

 of our customers and that in addition to 

 the vast background of accumulated ex 

 perience which we can offer them, we can 

 assure them that our business remains 

 perennially young. New ideas, improved 

 methods, new varieties of seeds and plants, 

 and the newest and most improved garden 

 implements and supplies help to keep it 

 so. This gives us the incentive and the 

 material for serving our customers, the 

 Gardeners of America, better during the 

 coming century than at any time duiing 

 the past.
