Watching things grow 



Since the announcement last fall that 

 Peter Henderson & Co. and Stumpp & 

 Walter Co. had merged, the eyes of the 

 gardening world have been focused on the 

 new company. 



Endowed with a century-old tradition of providing the 

 finest for everyone's garden at fair prices, we are now 

 called upon to provide greater facilities for the convenience 

 of our ever-increasing patronage. This we are doing in a 

 two-fold program: 



1. To expedite the accurate, prompt shipment of catalog 

 mail-orders we have keyed the operational details to 

 assure delivery of all bulbs, nursery stock, seeds, perennials, 

 etc., in ample time for proper seasonal planting. This 

 policy is applied as well to the distribution of fertilizers, 

 insecticides, equipment, gift items — everything for your 

 garden and many, many things that make a house a home. 



2. For the convenience of increasing numbers of subur- 



ban residents who prefer to browse and shop or need a 

 special item in a hurry, we are planning an expansion pro- 

 gram to establish Garden Centers in key communities. 

 The newest of these have been opened recently in Man- 

 hasset, on Long Island and in Paramus, New Jersey. 



We take particular pride in the fact that all the bulbs 

 listed in this catalog are top size only. You may use the 

 convenient order form enclosed for your garden needs or 

 visit your local Peter Henderson, Stumpp & Walter Garden 

 Center. We are anxious to meet you and will appreciate 

 your suggestions so that we may be of greater service 

 to vou.

THE DISTINCTIVE RED 



When a comparatively new variety of Tulip becomes 

 so popular so fast, there must be a reason! RED 



EMPEROR TULIP £•* 



EMPEROR has these claims for superiority: Rich, 

 all-red color, enormous size (often 9 inches across when 

 open), and it begins to bloom during April — the first 

 Tulip to brighten your garden.
