SUPERIOR SEEDS, PLANTS, BULBS, ETC. 



ARE GENUINE ONLY WHEN SUPPLIED BY THEM 

 DIRECT TO THE PLANTER 



By only supplying the planter direct we remove the 

 tendency to dangerously cheapen production, which 

 successful competition for the dealer's trade continually 

 demands. 



By only supplying the planter direct — and not dividing profits 

 with dealers — we are able to supply, at the lowest pos- 

 sible prices. THE BEST SEEDS, Etc., THE WORLD 

 PRODUCES. 



By only supplying the planter direct customers are protected from having other seeds foisted upon them as "Henderson's."

 no charge, other than usual rates, for returning goods.

 accompany the order. Plants we do not ship C. O. D. 



Give full shipping instructions on each and every order you

 no account with us must furnish satisfactory reference, New

 orders from unknown parties not accompanied with reference 

 will be delayed pending the usual investigation. 



Be sure to sign your name and give your address. Many 

 orders reach us lacking either or both; customers when writing 

 about unsigned orders will aid us in identification by mentioning 

 some of the articles ordered. 



Every order is filled within a day or two after arrival, or is 

 acknowledged if, under rare circumstances, its shipment is likely 

 to be delayed. If goods, notification of shipment or acknowl- 

 edgment of order is not received by the customer after a 

 reasonable lapse of time, it may be assumed that the order has 

 miscarried, or that the name or address was omitted from the 

 order. We will, when notified of such, use our best efforts to 

 trace it without delay.

 implied, as to description, quality, productiveness,' or any other
