Jr~ In extending our eighty-eighth greeting to you, our customers and iriends, we, the third generation oi 

 Cv' Hendersons, wish also to extend our sincere gratitude ior your loyal patronage, which, in many instances, 

 we are also enjoying from third generations of garden lovers — grandsons and daughters of people who bought 

 garden requirements from the founder of our firm since 1847. 



Never has the art of gardening had a more propitious era than the present. The home vegetable garden 

 is doing much to offset some of the deprivations which we are experiencing and to many it is proving a new 

 delight in table delicacies. Also, the art of ornamental gardening is growing in every section of the United 

 States. The inherent love for beauty finds a most enjoyable means of expression in gardening. There is no 

 better relaxation for wearied nerves than an actual contact with the soiL 



Whether you garden for utilitarian purposes, or for the pleasure of growing beautiful flowers, or even to 

 improve the intrinsic value of your home grounds, our catalog is offered to you to serve those needs. In back 

 of this catalog stands an organization that is kept perennially young in mind and action. Our frial grounds 

 and greenhouses at Red Bank, N. J., are busily engaged throughout the year in testing, improving and develop- 

 ing new varieties of flowers and vegetables. Our warehouses at lersey City are stocked with the highest 

 quality seeds and other garden requisites to serve your instant needs. Our year round exhibit at Rockefeller 

 Center is maintained to show visitors the results obtained with our products, and here at Cortlandt Street we 

 maintain what has frequently been referred to as the finest seed store in the •^orld 



Very fruly yours,

SULGRAVE MANOR, HOME OF WASHINGTON'S 

 ANCESTORS 



The old Northamptonshire manor house built early in the Sixteenth Century, 

 which was the ancestral home of the Washingtons, has within the past few years 

 emerged from an extensive process of restoration. 



Utilizing a fund of $52,500 raised in the United States, the Sulgrave Manor 

 Board, whose membership included both Americans and British, entrusted the 

 work required to Sir P..eginal Blomfield, R. A., and the results achieved certainly 

 reflect great credit both on the architect and the Board. 



Both the house and the gardens have been restored to what was probably their 

 condition in the prosperous days of the Washingtons in England. 



Visitors to the estate average about 10,000 annually, and they will now be 

 able to view the manor and gardens in a state of greater loveliness than before.
