Every Post Office a Henderson Seed Store 



Business conditions are still disturbed and disorganized, and transportation facilities are 

 still taxed to their full capacity; hence delays may be expected, especially in shipping goods in 

 large quantities by express or freight. We therefore urge our customers to send in their orders 

 for seeds, etc., as soon after the receipt of this catalogue as possible. 



Do not wait until the Spring rush is on, but send in orders in January or February, because 

 the seed will keep with you as well as with us, and you will thereby, in all probability, be spared 

 disastrous delays when you are ready to plant. 



The professional gardener always orders his seeds in January or February — 



Cabbage, Cauliflower, Lettuce, Tomato, Egg Plant and Peppers can be started early in 

 a window box and you will have fine strong plants to set out as soon as the ground is in condition. 



PARCEL POST ZONES AND RATES 



On shipments weighing 20 pounds or more beyond the 2d postal zone it is cheaper to ship seeds 

 by express. As the express companies give a receipt for each package.it amounts practically to 

 insurance without cost, whereas it costs extra, according to value, to insure a parcel post package. 

 We guarantee the safe arrival in the U. S. of all seeds shipped by express or insured parcel post. 



IF GOODS ARE WANTED BY PARCEL POST, POSTAGE MUST BE ADDED AS 

 PER TABLE BELOW, EXCEPT FOR THOSE QUANTITIES OF SEEDS WE OFFER TO 

 DELIVER FREE. 



The Postal Weight of Beans, Peas and Corn is One Pound per Pint. 



For other merchandise mailable by Parcel Post offered in this catalogue — Tools and Acces- 

 ories. Odorless Fertilizers, Insecticides and Fungicides (Fluids and Poisons excluded)— we have 

 given the packed 

 weight so that extra 

 for postage may be 

 remitted according to 

 Zone distance as below. 



IMPORTANT — In 



remitting postage al- 

 ways add it to the foot 

 of the order as a sepa- 

 rate item — this will 

 help to avoid mis- 

 takes. 



We forward seeds 

 to post offices in for- 

 eign countries by In- 

 ternational Parcel Post 

 when mail routes are 

 open. See our Inter- 

 national Parcel Post 

 Circular mailed on 

 application. 



Domestic Parcel 

 Post rales, %th Zone, 

 apply to Alaska, the 

 Canal Zone, Guam, 

 Hawaii, Porto Rico, 

 Philippine Islands.
