HOWARD M. HENDERSON 



Three Generations of Hendersons 



HAVE RENDERED MORE THAN THREE-QUARTERS OF A CENTURY 

 OF FAITHFUL SERVICE TO THE GARDEN LOVERS OF AMERICA 



More than 80 years ago our grandfather, Peter Henderson, founded this business. At that time 

 he laid down certain rules and principles which subsequently became the model which was followed by all successful 

 seed houses. Himself a practical gardener, writer and close student of horticulture, the principles as outlined 

 by him have stood the acid test of time, and have been carried out to the letter by the two succeeding generations 

 of Hendersons. 



The business today is owned, controlled and managed by the third generation, and we have left no 

 stone unturned to see that Henderson customers should receive the very highest quality of seed which care, pains- 

 taking effort, experience and knowledge can produce. Over 80 years of experience have made us familiar with all 

 the short cuts, and if it were possible to sell quality seeds any cheaper than the prices as listed in our catalogue, 

 Peter Henderson & Co. would do so. 



We have endeavored to make this catalogue a medium of friendly contact between you and ourselves. 1 1 

 is filled with suggestions, information and advice which we hope will be of real assistance to you, and help you 

 to have better gardens and therefore more beautiful homes. 



Wishing to be Helpful in every possible way we invite you to correspond freely with us about your 

 garden problems, and also to send suggestions for improvements either in this Catalogue, or in our manner of doing 

 business. All your letters will receive courteous attention, and we shall be delighted to hear from you. 



Extending to our old customers our sincere appreciation for their past valued patronage, and assuring our 

 new friends that we will do all in our power to please them, >jr/ e g^ yours very sincerely 



The name of PETER HENDERSON is a household word wherever flowers and vegetables are grown and gardens planted. —
