| HIS, the 1893 or Columbian Edition of our Catalogue of ‘‘ Everything 
for the Garden,” will be found to contain, perhaps, a greater 
number of new, interesting and valuable features than any one of its 
predecessors. These new features and changes are so numerous that 
we shall not attempt to detail them. In fact, we retain year after year 
such a large percentage of our old customers, to whom we naturally 
look for the great bulk of our trade, that it would be a needless task to 
point out the innovations. There are, however, two or three mat- 
ters to which we desire to call special attention. The first is that 
in this Catalogue we have held to the same systematic arrangement of 
the departments as in previous issues ; also our Index (second page of 
cover) is more complete than ever, so that by its aid, large as our 
Catalogue is, any article offered can be quickly found. The third is, and we request our old friends and patrons 
not to lose sight of it, that the prices for almost everything here otfered are LOWER than at any time since 
this business was established, and want of space in this page prevents us giving the reasons that have brought 
about such a reduction in prices, but we shall be glad if every one, either an old patron or possibly new hands into 
which this Catalogue falls, will turn to page 2, and before making up their order read what we have to say about 
Lower Prices. 
~1893 + 
Will for many a day to come be recognized as 
AMERICA’S GREAT JUBILEE YEAR, 
Because of the universal celebration of the Four Hundredth Anniversary of its Discovery. 
Beginning in New York in October last, its celebration here, and since then in other cities of our land, has been 
conducted on lines broad, lofty and patriotic, and there is every reason to expect that our era of glorification will attain | 
its supreme culmination in May, 1893, when Chicago throws her doors wide open and welcomes all mankind to the 
Wlorld’s Columbian Exposition. 
Whilst the products of many other lands will there be seen, the World’s Fair of 1893 will, after all, stand and be 
everywhere accepted as a grand epitome of the civilization and progress of the United States in this, the twilight of the 
nineteenth century. 
In such an aggregation Peter Henderson & Co. could scarcely be omitted, and by referring to the outline map on 
page 4 it will be seen that we have no less than seven distinct exhibits. When we state that for two years past we have 
been preparing for our exhibits, our friends who visit Chicago may reasonably expect to see a series of displays creditable 
to us from a business standpoint and not altogether unworthy, we trust, of the name and fame of PETER HENDERSON.
