We Welcome America's Gardeners 

 To Another Season of Garden Joys and Triumphs 



Those who are privileged to visit many gardens in various sections of the country, have during the past few years noticed a 

 definite uptrend in the quality and beauty of them. Greater care is given to the planning, to the selection of plant material, and 

 to maintenance today, than during any previous period in the history of our country. Many factors have helped to bring about this 

 increased stimulus in the fine art of gardening, but the primary one is the great improvement in the quality of modern varieties of 

 flowers and vegetables. 



Nowhere does quality manifest itself to a greater degree, than in the results obtained in the garden. All of the new and 

 standard varieties of seeds offered herein, have passed the test of the "Henderson Standard of Perfection," thus insuring their 

 quality, and we offer them with the full assurance that they will add to the joys and triumphs of America's Gardeners during the 

 coming year. 



Very truly yours, f j r \ \ « «-k *s

The Theme For Our Front Cover 

 THE JEFFERSONIAN GATE HOUSE GARDEN 



which was reproduced by Peter Henderson & Co. at the International 

 Flower Show in New York last Spring. This garden or border was 

 built alongside of a gatehouse, and in front of a serpentine wall, 

 which were facsimiles of those built by Thomas Jefferson on the 

 grounds of the University of Virginia. 



Referring to this border planting, "Horticulture" said, "It con- 

 tains many suggestions for planting suburban and country gardens." 

 The "Florists Exchange" said, "It is a handsome display, typical of 

 the modern trend in gardening that can readily be employed on the 

 home grounds."
