Like our Seeds and ^ ^ our Business Methods " 



I have planted your seeds for the past twelve years 

 and they have never failed in a single instance to 

 give perfect satisfaction in every way. Always true 

 to name and of good germinating qualities. During 

 these twelve years I have planted a few seeds from 

 time to time from other seed-houses, and those from 

 your house always grew to be nearer true than the 

 same strain from any other house. 



E. M. BIDDLE, 



Edgemoore, Del. 



I am very much pleased with the liberal way in 

 which you filled my order. We have been buying 

 seeds of Peter Henderson & Co. for many years and 

 I don't think we ever bought anything that did not 

 grow, and that is saying a good deal. 



W. S. CHAPMAN, 

 21 Clayton St., Wilmington, Del. 



t Henderson k Co. 

 Gentlemen : — Please send me 

 as soon as possible 10 bushels of Red 

 Top Grass Seed, 5 bushels of Orchard 

 Grass Seed, and 5 bushels of Winter Eye. 

 I intend to sow this seed upon my place in ' 

 f the country, and am very anxious to have all 

 | of it clean and pure, and for this reason I send to I 

 you, believing that in this way I am most likely to 

 \ receive just what I want. The land is not the J 

 i best, and the proprietor knows but little 

 about farming, hence the seed must be h 

 v very good. Yours truly, 



GROVES CLEVEL. 

 Executive Mansion, 



Washington, D.C. 



Your catalogue is an ever-welcome present to us. 

 I was several times induced, by recommending 

 friends, to order from other seedsmen, but I found 

 only Peter Henderson & Co. reliable. 



C. PROBST, 

 Terre Haute, Ind. 



The best praise I can give your seeds is a continued 

 use of them. I have planted them over 30 years ; I 

 think before any one in the town. I have recom- 

 mended them to many others. 



Eespectfully, 



EGBERT MAESH, 

 New Milford, Conn. 



My seeds came several days since and were all 

 right, as everything always'is that comes from P. H. 

 & Co. ; and at no other place does one get such 

 quantities of seed in a packetas there. 



FLOBA L. EATON, 



No. Underbill, Vt. 



Santa Fe, New Mexico. 



I have dealt now with your firm for thirty years, and I safely assert that, after trying various other seedsmen during that 

 period, I have always returned to Peter Henderson & Co. as the most reliable firm in its dealings, and facile princeps among all seed 

 firms of America. The receipt of your catalogue is always a source of joy and delight to me, and all other reading is apt to be 

 laid aside and neglected until it has been perused from beginning to end. 



Especially your novelties — both garden vegetables and flowers — please me greatly ; your descriptions, instead of being over- 

 drawn, as is so often the case with many of your competitors, being always found strictly true to facts, and most of the novel 

 varieties first announced by you having taken a permanent place among the standard varieties of garden vegetables in this 

 country. Years ago, at a time when I was Corresponding Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture of Missouri, and published 

 volumes of yearly Reports, it has been my good fortune to correspond, upon several occasions, with your late lamented father 

 on horticultural subjects, and two or three of his autograph letters are treasured up by me in remembrance of the man who. more 

 than any other man in America, has, by his writings and example, promoted a knowledge of practical and improved gardening 

 in this country ; one of the men who are the truest benefactors of the people. 1 am, very respectfully, JOHN F. WIELANDY. 



Your seeds have given me more satisfaction than 



any others. I can buy lower-priced seeds, but deem 



yours the cheaper by far in the end. I have used 



your seeds for ten years and will continue to do bo. 



JOHN KOLBEBT, 



Mankato, Minn. 



Would like to send you my photo, to show you 

 what a first-class fool I am. I bought seed of four 

 prominent houses and planted them side by side with 

 yours, same time, same soil and same treatment. 

 Forgive me this time, and won't do it again. 



EDW. W. HAENEY, 

 Va. 



I want to thank you for the splendid quality of the 

 seeds I bought from you. I*ought some seeds of 

 another house and they were bad, very bad, and so 1 

 appreciated your garden seeds all the more on that 

 account. J. H. McMILLEN, 



____^_ Logansport, Ind. 



Everything we have received from you, including 

 seeds, plants and roots, have been all and more than 

 what they were represented to be. I shall most 

 cheerfully recommend your firm whenever oppor- 

 tunity presents. W. J. MAETIN, 



Clarinda, Iowa. 



I cannot refrain from expressing to you my 

 appreciation of the superior quality of your seeds 

 and the product of the same. The past spring I 

 planted none but Peter Henderson & Co.'s seeds, 

 and am pleased to say that I was most agreeably 

 surprised. If a single seed failed to germinate I do 

 not know it, and the fruit proved quite true to name 

 and variety. I deem it a duty I owe to your house, 

 in consideration of the quality of your goods and 

 the very gentlemanly manner in which you have 

 always treated me, to make this fact known to my 

 friends, and to secure for you as many new custom- 

 ers as possible, as I am morally sure that your old 

 customers need no solicitation. Very truly, 



HENEY L. GRANT, 

 Grafton, W. Va. 



All my dealings with your house, reaching back 



through a quarter of a century, have been entirely 



satisfactory in every way. Thanking you for all the 



courtesy and generosity of the past, I am, 



Yours very sincerely, 



Mas. R. B. EDSON, 



Melrose, Mass. 



I have used your seeds for about twenty years and 

 have always found them true to name and reliable. 

 W. S. MILLENER, 



Speucerport, N. Y. 



It gives me pleasure to state that everything I have 

 had from you has been of a most satisfactory char- 

 acter. I have had your seeds in the same boxes with 

 seeds obtained from other leading seedsmen of the 

 country, and yours have invariably given the great- 

 est satisfaction. In fact, almost every seed I have 

 had from you seems to have germinated, and no one 

 could have taken more pains in filling my orders or 

 filled them more satisfactorily. 



EDW. A. MOSELEY, 

 Interstate Commerce Commission, Washington. 



From the seed that I received from you last year 

 I took six first prizes ; in 1893 some of my prize 

 vegetables were taken to the World's Fair. 



JOHN DOBBIN, 

 Eegina, N. W. T., Canada. 



You are the squarest seed-house I ever had any- 

 thing to do with, and hereafter I shall patronize 

 your house. LEWIS F. ROTH, 



Georgetown, Ohio. 



I have always been much pleased with every order 

 filled by you and have decided not to throw away 

 any more money on other firms.

Whitney's Point, N. Y.
