LIKE THE ETERNAL YOUTH 



OF SPRINGTIME 



There is no other business in the world that lives as intimately 

 with Springtime as ours. During the long Autumn and Winter 

 months, our thoughts and labors are devoted solely to the advent 

 of Springtime in the Gardens of America. 



Although we have just passed the ninetieth milestone of our exis- 

 tence and are happily looking toward the century mark, there is 

 no place for the hoariness of old age in our business. We cherish 

 the sacred heritage of the many privileges that time has given us — 

 the many loyal friendships, the confidence and valued patronage of 

 our customers, and the years of invaluable experience that are 

 at our command for the benefit of our customers, and the better- 

 ment of our service. Aside from this, all else is new — as modern 

 as the Eternal Youth of Springtime. 



New and improved stocks of the highest quality Tested Seeds, 

 the cream of the world's leading hybridizers will be found in the 

 pages of our Flower Seed Section, to add charm and interest to 

 the Flower Garden. In our Vegetable Seed Section, among the 

 many standard sorts that are already considered among the blue 

 bloods of the Vegetable Kingdom, will be found additional new, 

 improved, and better flavored types that will increase the pleasure 

 of the gardener, and bring joy to all the members of the family 

 when they eat them. 



The Plant Section (pages 98 to 122), besides including the most 

 talked about new Rose of the year, contains many other new and 

 select plants. Amid the Implement Section will be found new and 

 modern implements and gadgets to help make garden maintenance 

 easier. 



Again we, the third generation of Henderson's, wish to take this 

 opportunity to thank our loyal friends and customers, and it is 

 our sincere wish that they, as well as our new found friends, will 

 enjoy another happy and profitable year in their gardens. 



Very truly yours, 

 PETER HENDERSON & CO.

Red Hill, The Home of One of America's Great Patriots 



PATRICK HENRY 



For the average American youth, there are few phrases in 

 American Revolutionary history that are as vibrant, or as 

 thrilling as those that were poured forth by the dynamic 

 oratory of Patrick Henry, and which were climaxed by his 

 immemorial "Give me Liberty, or Give me Death" 

 Red Hill is located near Brookneal, Campbell County, Vir 

 ginia. It is a delightful spot, and the view from it is superb 

 Southward it stretches over the rich valley of the Staunton, 

 and westward the lofty peaks of the Blue Ridge are dimly 

 discernible 



Patrick Henry's early life was spent in a merciless struggle 

 with poverty. He was born on May 2.9th, 1736, in Hanover 

 Countv, Va., and it was not until after he was fifty years old. 

 that he rose from the shiftless roustabout of his eatly years, 

 to a successful statesman. He served with Washington as a 

 delegate to the First Continental Congress. In 1776 he carried 

 the vote of the Virginia Convention fot Independence. In the 

 same yeat he became the first Governor of the new state and 

 was re-elected four times. 



He retired ftom public life in 1791 and began the development 

 of his estate at Red Hill, an occupation ftom which he de- 

 rived much pleasure. He loved the magnificent trees, and the 

 simple colonial garden, and it was his custom to arise every 

 morning at dawn for a stroll through his gardens. He died 

 June 6th, 1799, and was buried at Red Hill.
