HENDERSONS GARDEN TALK 



OVER. 



Our friends who are interested in radio and their name 

 is legion, will no doubt have heard some of our garden 

 talks over the WJZ radio at the Westinghouse Station, New- 

 ark, N. J. 



We felt that some distinction had been conferred upon our 

 firm when the managers of the Westinghouse Radiophone 

 Broadcasting Station selected us from among the many firms 

 engaged in the seed business to give these short talks on 

 gardening subjects. One of our representatives was ac- 

 cordingly deputed to broadcast, and the first talk was on .- 

 "Lawns — Seeding and Culture," broadcasted on the evening 

 of September 30th, 1922. On October 11th, a talk on "Golf 

 Courses — Seeding and Maintaining*' with some remarks on 

 the history of golf courses in America was given. We may 

 here remark that Peter Henderson & Co. seeded down most of 

 the early golf courses constructed in America when first the 

 game was introduced from Scotland. 



The third talk was broadcasted on October 29th the sub- 

 ject being, "Holland Bulbs and their Culture," with a brief 

 account of bulb life, from the planting of the parent bulb to 

 the production of the finished bulb of commerce, which is, 

 when marketed, about five years old. Much other interesting 

 information concerning bulbs was also drawn from our store- 

 house of bulb lore, accumulated during a period of seventy-six 

 years in the business. 



We shall, at the request of WJZ, continue these garden 

 talks during this winter and the spring of 1923. Among the 

 subjects treated of, will be Winter Pruning on Friday evening, 

 November 17th, 10:00 to 10:10, Winter Spraying on Friday 

 evening, December 15th, 9:40 to 9:50, and Garden Planning 

 on Wednesday evening, January 17th, 9:30 to 9:45. These 

 will be followed during the spring by other talks on garden 

 culture. 



1847-1923 

 THREE GENERATIONS of HENDERSONS 



This business was founded in 1847 by Peter 

 Henderson and is still carried on by his son, Charles 

 Henderson, and two grandsons of Peter Henderson, 

 viz., Peter Henderson, son of Alfred Henderson 

 (deceased), and Howard M. Henderson, son of 

 Charles Henderson, thus insuring its continuance 

 along the lines laid down by its founder. 



In this country where quick transitions in business 

 are common, the worth of a house whose business 

 has been carried sucessfully into the third generation 

 should inspire confidence. In no other business 

 is reliability more essential than in the seed business. 



The 76 years of success behind HENDERSON'S 

 TESTED SEEDS must and does make them the best 

 that it is possible to buy. In your grandfather's 

 day HENDERSON'S was the standard by which 

 other seeds were judged and the same condition 

 exists in 1923. Our method of seed trials and seed 

 testing, which were the best three generations ago, 



have been improved upon by us from year to year, 

 and today they are still the best. The name of 

 PETER HENDERSON & CO. has become indis- 

 solubly linked with all that is best in seeds, because 

 our constant purpose has always been — and will 

 continue to be — to supply to our customers pure 

 seeds of the highest germinating power only. 



Sincerely yours,
