STANDARDIZATION 



There is much in a name, especially in a trade name and the 

 market gardener will find it greatly to his advantage to grade his 

 products and to sell them under their true varietal name, as for 

 instance; Henderson's Bountiful Beans, Henderson's Snowball 

 Cauliflower, Henderson's New York Lettuce and the like. 

 The very fact that the grower can honestly attach these 

 names to his products, instills a confidence in the mind of 

 the purchaser bred of his knowledge of the Henderson 

 Standard of Perfection. 



Furthermore, he will educate the consuming 

 public to ask for his product and thus become 

 familiarized with the names of the vegetables 

 that particularly appeal to them. Had 

 this practice been in vogue a few years 

 ago, the present confusion concerning 

 the name of Henderson's New York 

 Lettuce which is variously sold as Simp- 

 son, Iceberg, etc. would not exist.
