In again offering plants we desire to express our appreciation of the liberal share of 

 patronage which we have received from the flower-loving public in years past. We 

 would state that we are now offering only the very finest new and standard sorts that 

 have been thoroughly tested. This will not only be a convenience, but a protection 

 to our customers; who may rest assured that they will receive no worthless varieties 

 when ordering from our list. 



PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING 

 PLANTS AND ROOTS 



Please note that our offer to pay transportation charges on Dahlia and Canna roots, 



pages 151 to 160, does not extend to plants, pages 161 to 168. We will ship plants by Parcel 



Post or Prepaid Express if 10 per cent is added to the catalogue price, for points east and 20 per 



cent for points west of the Mississippi River. Otherwise we will forward plants by Express, buyer 



to pay express charges on delivery. We do not ship plants C. O. D. 



We will guarantee the safe arrival of all plants and roots sent by Express or Parcel Post to all 

 points in the United States. Should anything be injured in transit, we urge our customers to notify 

 us at once on receipt of the goods, and in every case send us a list of what has been damaged so that 

 we can replace them without delay. But when they arrive in good condition our responsibility 

 ceases, and if from inattention or other causes they fail and complaint is then made we cannot 

 replace them.

Henderson's Pot-Grown Roses 



FOR SHIPMENT DURING MARCH, APRIL, MAY AND JUNE 



Out Pot-grown Roses are superior to the Roses usually sent out because they are 

 cut back and potted early in the fall, giving ample time for root action and to allow 

 the plant to grow naturally. They are sturdy and compact and when sent by express 

 with the soil on the roots transplanting scarcely checks their growth. In ..lanting, 

 it is only necessary to make a hole a little larger than the ball of earth on the plant. 

 After it is set in. firm the soil well around the roots, otherwise the dry air will shrivel 

 • them up and prevent their development. 



Never set the plants out should the ground be wet and soggy, but wait until 

 it is fairly dry. After planting give the soil a thorough soaking, and should the 

 earth around the plant be dry it should be thoroughly saturated with water a 

 day or so before planting.
