OUR CHOICEST SELECTIONS FOR QUALITY, QUANTITY AND CONTINUITY AT A VERY GREAT SAVING OF COST 



Henderson's Collections of Vegetable Seeds 



Contain seeds of only true and tried varieties, most carefully selected to give a continuous supply of vegetables of exclusively high quality, 

 throughout the season. The quantities are proportioned to meet the requirements of such gardens as are indicated by the titles of the collec- 

 tions, will be found convenient for patrons who find it somewhat confusing and irksome to look through the catalogue and who prefer our judg- 

 ment as to kinds and quantities. We cannot allow any alterations in these collections as they are put up in advance, ready to ship, before the 

 commencement of our busy season, thus enabling us to sell them at very much less than the articles would cost separately 



WE ENCLOSE WITH EVERY COLLECTION A PAMPHLET GIVING PLAIN DIRECTIONS FOR SOWING AND CULTIVATING, ENABLING 

 EVEN THE INEXPERIENCED TO PRODUCE FRESH VEGETABLES THE ENTIRE SEASON
