PETER HENDERSON & CO’S WHOLESALE QUARTERLY LIST OF FLOWER SEED . 
PRESH PALM SEEDS. 
We have made special arrangements direct with collectors 
to take large quantities, thereby enabling us to offer them | 
at much lower prices than they are usually sold at, and thus | 
Setting them direct, enables us to send out fresh seed, 
which is of more importance with this class than with any 
seeds we are acquainted with. 
(&§~ We fill all orders as soon as the seeds are received 
by uS WHICH NECESSARILY WILL BE AT DIFFERENT 
SEASONS as th> time of ripening varies in different species. |
