REGISTERED 

 TRADE MARK 



In the entire field of the business of Market Gardening, there is no phase which is as 

 vitally important as the very fundamental one that was handed down to us from Biblical 

 times; namely, that of planting good seed. So much depends upon good seed— to the 

 market grower it spells the difference between profit and loss— success and failure, there 

 are also manv determining factors when we refer to good seed. To all intents and purposes, 

 a stock of seed may have all the outward appearances of being good, but from a net profit s 

 standpoint, it may prove very far from good — hence the reason for 



THE HENDERSON FOUR WAY TEST 



Way back in 1847, Peter Henderson adopted as the guiding factor of the business he 

 was starting, the principle of Tested Seeds. This principle was the result and fruit of his 

 own practical experience as a market gardener. He originated many of the methods ot 

 seed testing still used today. During the years that followed, his sons Alfred and Charles 

 adhered strictly to the guiding principle and now his grandson Peter Henderson, has 

 increased the value of our slogan Tested Seeds, and has further safeguarded the interests 

 of our customers by instituting the Four Way Test. 



To the usual laboratory tests for purity and viability— the greenhouse tests for germin- 

 ation— the Trial Grounds tests for traeness of type as fixed by the Henderson Standard 

 of Perfection— there has also been added the production tests, where results are subjected 

 to actual marketing conditions. In this way it is possible for us to keep our finger on the 

 pulse of consumer demand, and consequently permit us to specialize in such varieties ot 

 seeds that are most in demand, and will produce the most profitable crops. 



Very sincerely yours, 



PETER HENDERSON & CO.
