\L PALACE. NEW YORK, MARC I 



Our Eighty-Fifth 



DURING the four score and five years of our existence, we have 

 seen great strides taking place in the advancement of Gardening 



Greeting to Customers 

 and Friends: 



in America, but never before has our Country been as garden minded 

 as it is at this time. For this much credit is due to the numerous garden 

 clubs, and particularly to the Garden Club of America. Much of the 

 success of our great flower shows is the result of their efforts. The 

 illustration above shows a section of our 1931 Spring Garden at the 

 Grand Central Palace, New York, and below we Illustrate our First Prize 

 group of vegetables at the National Garden Pageant in Atlantic City, September, 1931. 



President Hoover's Emergency Committee for Employment urges the making of vegetable gardens. Every 

 vegetable produced contributes to the wealth of the Nation and helps to reduce the present economic stress. 

 Whether you make a garden for this reason — whether you make a garden solely for the joy of it — or whether 

 you grow flowers or vegetables for prize competition, the quality of the seed Is of first Importance. Our 

 eighty-five years of quality seed service makes us eminently fitted to supply your needs. 



We have tried to make this catalogue a complete and modern garden shopping service that you- can em- 

 ploy in the comfort of your own home. To our old customers, we, the third generation of Henderson's, wish to 

 express our sincere appreciation of their past patronage and to our new, we give the assurance that we will 

 do all in our power to please them. 



Very sincerely yours.
