PETER HENDERSON & CO.. NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEEDS 



Famous the World Over For Nearly Three-Quarters of a Century 



We Make a Specialty of Select Strains for Market Gardeners and Truck Farmers 



Seeds are offered by competitors as Henderson's Snowball 

 Cauliflower, Henderson's Succession and Henderson's Charles- 

 ton Wakefield Cabbage, Henderson's Big Boston Lettuce, 

 Henderson's Easy Blanching Celery, Henderson's White Spine 

 Cucumber, Henderson's Ponderosa Tomato and other varieties 

 of vegetables introduced by us. The name of "Henderson" 

 preceding the varietal name would indicate that the stock is 

 ours; but such is not the case as we do not sf.ll to dealers. 



Upwards of 20 years ago we made a new departure in our 

 business policy, and discontinued selling to dealers to sell again. 

 This drastic step was. taken because we had become convinced 



that such a measure was necessary in the interests of our cus- 

 tomers, especially of those who made their living by growing for 

 the market. Our long experience as market gardeners and flor- 

 ists impressed upon us the fact that quality should be supreme, 

 that price was secondary. The jobber in seeds naturally con- 

 siders price as paramount, hence there is a dangerous tendency 

 to sacrifice quality by cheapening production. 



If you want our seeds the only way to get them is to send the 

 order direct to Peter Henderson & Co. and get the seeds in our 

 own bags, with our own label on them.
