Lower Prices! Advantages to Buyers! 



FOR a number of years it has been our custom to offer a series of premiums on orders in the shape of 

 books, discounts, etc. Realizing that in many instances this was confusing to purchasers, we have 

 decided this season to abandon all such and to reduce our prices to a corresponding or even lower 

 level, a plan which we feel will be more satisfactory to our customers in every respect. This is particularly 

 true in the case of our book premiums ; many of our older customers, being provided with them in previous 

 years, naturally have no use for duplicates. 



Not only have we brought our prices down to the basis of no premiums or 

 discounts, but we have put them even lower in many instances. We are able to do this by 

 our constantly increasing business and improved facilities for production which reduces cost to us. 

 The tendency of the times is towards low net prices, and we feel sure that our action in 

 cutting loose from the practice, universal in the trade, of giving premiums and offering "special induce- 

 ments," will be endorsed and appreciated by our customers. 



WHEN BEST TO ORDER. 



We are fully equipped for filling orders immediately this 

 catalogue is issued, and it will greatly relieve our spring rush, 



if customers will order at as early a date as poss- 

 ible Do not wait until you are ready to sow or plant ; if you 



do not wish your seeds or plants until some 

 later date, we will get them ready and ship 

 whenever desired. 



HOW BEST TO ORDER. 



Kindly use the order sheet. By writing out your 



order on the order sheet which accompanies this catalogue you will 

 greatly facilitate our work. When goods are ordered from both 

 seed and greenhouse establishments, we always combine the 

 orders and nuke one shipment. To avoid chance of error, never 

 write letters on the same sheet as your order. 



Be sure to sign your name and give your 



address. Many orders reach us lacking either or both ; cus- 

 tomers whe . writing about unsigned orders will aid us in identifica- 

 tion by mentioning some of the articles ordered. 



Givefull shipping instructions on each and every 

 order you send. 



HOW BEST TO REMIT, 



Remittances should be made either in the form of a P. O" 



Money Order, Bank Draft, Express Money 

 Order, Express Purchasing Order, Register- 

 ed Letter, or money can be sent by express. Re- 

 mittances in any other way are entirely at the sender's risk. 



Customers can also shop by express. Ex- 

 press companies have now purchasing departments in all their 

 offices. If you wish to "order goods from us to be sent by express, 

 ask for a Purchasing Order Blank at any express office, and it will 

 be supplied and forwarded without charge, other than the usual 

 rates for returning goods.

accompanied by a remittance, should send New York reference — 

 to save delay — if goods are not wanted C. O. D. 



Alt orders and letters on business should be 

 addressed to the firm, Peter Henderson & Co., 35 & 37 Cortlandt 

 Street, New York. If the special attention of any member of our 

 establishment is desired, by so stating in your letter or order we 

 shall be pleased to refer it to the party mentioned. Envelopes 

 addressed to special persons are frequently the cause of long delays 

 on account of absence or sickness. 



WHEN WE EXECUTE ORDERS. 



Every order is filled immediately on arrival.. or 



is acknowledged it, under rare circumstances, its shipment is likely 

 to be delayed for a day or two. If goods, notification of shipment 

 or acknowledgment of order is not received by the customer after 

 a reasonable lapse of time, it may be assumed that the order has 

 miscarried, or that the name or address was omitted from the 

 order. We will, where notified of such a case, use our best efforts 

 to trace it without delay. 



We fill Orders Of all values, and all, whether large 

 or small, receive the same careful and prompt attention.

Have your plants sent by express, as it is the 



best mode, and our light system of packing makes the charges low. 

 If purchase- s want their plants sent by freight we will do so 

 and take special pains to have them arrive in good condition, but 

 the movements of freight are so unreliable that we do not 

 guarantee safe a rival when sent in this way. 



About Packing- and Shipping* and 

 No Charge Made. 



We make no charge for packing, cases, 

 baSKets, packages or barrels, and pack as lightly 



as possible, consistent with safety, so as to reduce the cost of 

 carriage. In fact, we assume extra expense in supplying light, 

 strong cases, and, where possible, we pack in baskets covered with 

 waterproof canvas, which greatly reduces weight. 



Cloth bags only we charge for, and these at cost, viz. 1 

 peck 10c; }£ bush., 12c.; r bush., 15c ; 2 bush., 200. All 

 grass seed bags, excepting bags for Timothy and Clover, 

 are furnished free.

 ments. We pack seeds, when necessary, in tin-lined cases or 

 double sacks and charge for them at cost.

goods to any railway station, steamship line or express office in 

 New York City. 



The safe arrival is guaranteed of all goods sent 



by express to any part of the United J-tates or Canada. 



The advantage that we possess in shipping 

 from New York is pronounced on account of the many 

 different rou'es by which we can ship, and the consequent com- 

 petition in speed and transportation rates, thereby securing for 

 our customers quick delivery at the lowest cost. In most instances 

 customers can get their goods more quickly and cheaply from us 

 than when ordered nearer home.
