Henderson's Flower Seeds 



For American Gardens 



Comprising the outstanding offerings of the World's Leading Flower Breeders, as well as those of 

 Our Own Origination. All flower seeds offered have merited a place in this catalog after they proved 

 their worth as desirable subjects for American Gardens at our Testing Grounds at Red Bank, N. J. 



Suitable material can be found here for practically all types of gardens, as well as special strains of 

 flowers for the competitive grower. Henderson's strains are always in evidence in the Blue Ribbon class
