PETER HENDERSON & CO., 35 and 37 Cortlandt Street, NEW YORK 



Announcing 



Our New 



Cut Flower Department 



Flowers Sent by Telegraph Everywhere 



For a nuittber of years, some of our mail order patrons have made it a custom to 

 send us their orders for cut flowers, for delivery to relatives and friends departing by 

 steamer from the port of New York, also for anniversaries, birthdays, holiday greet- 

 ings and similar occasions. 



In order to extend this service to all of our customers, we have established a complete 

 Cut Flower Department for the sale of cut flowers for all occasions, and we invite the 

 patronage of all our friends and customers. 



We are members of the F. T. D. (Florists' Telegraph Delivery) and are prepared to 

 forward fresh cut flowers by telegraph to any city, town or hamlet in this country, 

 and in fact, to any part of the world. Our customers can feel assured, that in their 

 transactions with this new department, they wall receive the same high class service 

 and obtain the same superior values for their money that prevail.Ln the other branches 

 of our business. 



HOW TO ORDER: If it is desired to have flowers delivered to a relative or friend 

 living in a distant city or foreign country, all that is necessary is to send us the order 

 with the amount that the purchaser wishes to expend. (Customers having charge 

 accounts with us may telegraph their orders and have them charged.) In turn, we 

 will transmit the order, either by telegraph or by mail if the time permits, to our 

 duly accredited representative in the town or vicinity in which the relative or friend 

 is located. There is no charge for this service, other than the cost of telegraphing, 

 which will be deducted from the amount remitted. For example: If we receive an 

 order for cut flowers to the value of $10.00 and the c®st of telegraphing the order to the 

 place of its delivery amounts to Si. 00, this sum would be deducted and flowers to the 

 value of S9.00 would be delivered. There are no deductions made from orders for cut 

 flowers to be delivered in New York City; but, we make no deliveries on Sundays or 

 holidays. Care should be taken that the full name and address of the party to whom 

 the flowers are to be sent, is given, also that the wording of the greeting or saluta- 

 tion to be enclosed, is sent together with the buyer's name and address. 



We recommend that wherever possible the selection of the flowers be left to us, as 

 we can in that case invariably give greater value than if we were limited strictly to the 

 ptrrchaser's choice. Owing to the fluctuations in the prices of cut flowers, it is im- 

 possible for us to quote prices in this catalog, but it is our aim to give our customers 

 the best values that they can obtain anywhere. Our connections with the leading 

 cut flower growers in America, will insure for our customers the best.products of their 

 greenhouses. We can furnish all of the standard and new varieties of Roses and other 

 cut flowers, and our experienced and capable artists cannot be outrivaled in arranging 

 beautiful and artistic bouquets, floral baskets or designs.
