offered by Weight at the prices in this Catalogue (regardless of 

 quantity.) that is by the packet, ounce, % pound and pound- If 

 PEAS, BEANS and CORN are wanted by mail add 15c. per 

 quart to the Catalogue price for postage. 



Purchaser pays transit charges only on such as 



are offered in pecks, bushels and barrels, and on Farm 



Seeds, Plants and Boots, Fertilizers, 

 Insecticide Tools, Etc. 



Offers in more condensed form and at much lower prices the 

 varieties of vegetable Seeds, etc., both new and old which are to 

 be found described in our retail catalogue of " Everything for 

 the Garden," and those desiring fuller descriptions of the various sorts are referred to that catalogue. We were, we think, the first seed house to 

 recognize the justice of giving Market Gardeners lower prices than those who simply grew for their own use or for amusement, and as the tendency 

 the last few years has been for lower prices on nearly all seeds the prices given this season, will be found satisfactory.

When we Execute Orders. 



Every order is filled immediately on arrival, or is acknowl- 

 edged if, under rare circumstances, its shipment is likely to be 

 delayed for a day or two if goods, notification of shipment or 

 acknowledgement of order is not received by the customer after a 

 reasonable lapse of time, it may be assumed that the order has 

 miscarried, or that the name or address was omitted from 

 the order. We will, where notified of such a case, use our best 

 efforts to trace it without delay. 



We fill orders of all values from the smallest to the largest, 

 and all receive the same careful and prompt attention. 



Our Red Trade=Mark. 



(REGISTERED.) 



Every package of seed, large or small, sent from our establish- 

 ment, bears our Red Trade-Mark, and whether you purchase 

 directly from us or through other dealears, you will be perfectly 

 justified in refusing any package of seed not bearing this trade- 

 mark. We have been reluctantly forced to adopt this method for 

 the protection of our customers and ourselves, as every season we 

 have cases where unscrupulous dealers foist a cheap and inferior 

 article on purchasers under the name of '■Henderson's Seeds " 

 Insist that every package you buy bears our Red Trade Mark, 

 which we here illustrate. 



Special Notice. — While we exercise the greatest care to have 

 all Seeds, Plants and Bulbs pure and reliable, we do not give any 

 warranty, express or implied, if the purchaser does not accept 

 the goods on these conditions they must be returned at once, and 

 the money that has been paid for same will be refunded.— 

 P. H. & Co. 



How best to Remit. 



Remittances should be made either in the form of an Express 

 Money Order (which is the best and safest method of remitting), 

 or a P. 0. Money Order, Blank Draft or Registered Letter. 



Customers can also shop by express, as all express companies 

 have purchasing departments in all their offices. If you wish to 

 order goods from us to be sent by express, ask for a Purchasing 

 Order Blank at any express office, and it will be supplied and 

 forwarded without charge, other than usual rates for returning 

 goods. 



If goods are wanted C. 0. D., 25 per cent, of the amount must 

 accompany the order. 



Orders from unknown correspondents, not accompanied by a 

 remittance, should send New York City reference, to save delay. 



About 



Packing and Shipping. 



No charge made. 



We make no charge for packing, cases, baskets, packages 

 or barrels and pack as lightly as possible-, consistent with safety, 

 so as to reduce the cost of carriage. In fact, we assume extra 

 expense in supplying light strong cases, and, where possible, we 

 pack in baskets covered with waterproof covers, which greatly 

 reduces weight. 



Cloth Bags only we charge for, and these at cost, viz.: 1 peck, 

 10c; i bush., 12c; 1 bush., 15c; 2 bush., 20c. All grass seed 

 bags, excepting bags for Timothy and clover are furnished free. 



We make no charge for cartage or delivery of goods to any 

 railroad station, steamship line or express office in New York City. 



The safe arrival is guaranteed of all goods sent by express to 

 any part of the United States or Canada. We ship plants at all 

 seasons of the year, even in the coldest weather.
