HENDERSON'S COLLECTIONS OF 



VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Contain seeds of only true and tried varieties, most care- 

 fully selected to give a continuous supply of vegetables, of 

 exclusively high quality, throughout the season. The quan- 

 tities are proportioned to meet the requirements of such 

 gardens as are indicated by the titles of the collections, and 

 will be found convenient for patrons who do not care to wade 

 through long lists, or who prefer our judgment as to kinds 

 and quantities ; it may be that there are one or more items 

 in these collections that some customers will not care for, 

 but even if such are not needed, the great saving in price 

 will more than compensate. We, however, cannot allow 

 any alterations, because these collections are put up in 

 quantities all 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. 



" Your collections of Vegetable Seeds gave us every satisfaction. I find 

 these collections very handy, for you do certainly know what to select better 

 than a person who knows but little of gardening." 



LOUIS C. BEXXETT, Hensonville, X. Y. 



" Your collections of Vegetable Seeds are not only economical in the saving 

 of money but ' multum in parvo' for tlie gardener also, saving much time in 

 trying to make proper selections from your large catalogue."
