Henderson's Flower Seed Specialties 



TESTED AND SELECTED STRAINS FOR FLORISTS 



All of our Flower Seeds are tested at our Trial Grounds or Greenhouses at Red Bank, N. J. Whether it is your business to grow seedlings for 

 the retail trade, or finished plants or cut flowers for the market, you will find it profitable to grow Henderson's Selected Strains. They 

 are backed by a reputation dating back since 1847, yet they are as new and up to date as the City of Tomorrow. We furnish Florists and 

 Market Growers for their own planting packets of Flower Seeds from our Retail Catalog at 25 per cent off. A copy of our retail catalog 

 "Everything for the Garden" will be mailed on request. 



(Under no circumstances do we supply our seeds to be sold again.)

1053— VIOLET QUEEN. The flowers of 

 this variety have a character peculiarly 

 their own, being of a very pretty violet

 and enduring as the familiar white 

 varieties. At our trial grounds we have 

 counted as many as two hundred flow- 

 ers on a plant at one time. oz. $1.50
