PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



33 



THE seed crops of 1911 are the shortest on record. Peas, are again a very short crop, and good stocks of Beet, Cabbage, Carrot, 

 Celery and Parsnip were never so scarce. Radish, Spinach, Cucumber, Turnips and some Onions and other important crops 

 are also short. This has almost brought about a famine in these important articles. Never in the history of our firm, (extend- 

 ing back to 1847 1, has there been such a wide-spread shortage both here and in Europe. Prices, though high, are as low asjs 

 consistent with good quality. Early orders are solicited to avoid disappointment.
