TRIAL GROUND 

 IS OUR COMPASS 



It is the guide which shows us what is right, and what is wrong, and enables 

 US to carry out the time-honored Henderson policy of " Purity of Type " and 

 "Quality of Stocks." 

 The founder of our house— PETER HENDERSON— began his business life as a 

 market gardener and upon that foundation built the great seed business that bears his name. 

 He recognized, as none but those conversant with the business of growing vegetables for 

 the market can do, the great importance of supplying "true to type" seeds of the highest 

 quality and of improved strains. 



This policy is regarded as the keystone of the business by his successors — Charles 

 Henderson, his son, the present head of the house, and his grandsons, Peter Henderson and 

 Howard M. Henderson. 



In order to carry out this work efficiently we annually conduct at our Trial Grounds probably 



the most extensive tests ever undertaken by a seed house in America. These Trial Grounds — 



partial views of which we illustrate on this page — are situated on the Hudson Boulevard, Jersey 



City, and at Hackensack, N. J., and are about 60 acres in extent. Our careful and painstaking 



methods during along series of years have caused the name "HENDERSON" to become 



indissolubly linked with all that is best in seeds; because our constant purpose has always 



been, and will continue to be, to supply to our customers, choice seeds of selected 



strains only. 



As a result of this policy each and every one of our customers has become, in his 

 own locality, a standing advertisement and reference, as to the quality of our 

 seeds, and gained for us an ever-widening circle of patrons and friends. 

 Our stocks are now complete, and with the greatest confidence we 

 solicit your continued patronage. 



Peter Henderson & Co.
