~ TRIAL GROUND ~ 
IS OUR COMPASS. \ 
, and enables 
It is the guide which shows us what is right, and what is wrong 
and 
us to carry out the time-honored Henderson policy of ‘‘ Purity of Type’”’ 
“ Quality of Stocks.” 
The founder of our house—-PETER HENDERSON—began his business life as a 
MARKET GARDENER and upon that foundation built the great seed business that bears 
his name. He recognized, as none but those conversant with the business of growing 
| for the market can, the great importance of supplying ‘‘true-to-type”’ seeds of the highest 
_ quality and of improved strains, to the MARKET GARDENER AND FLORIST. This policy 
' is regarded as the keystone of the business by his successors—CHARLES HENDERSON, 
the present head of the house, and his grandsons, PETER HENDERSON and 
| his son, 
| Howarp M. HENDERSON. 
In order to carry out this work efficiently we annually conduct at our Trial Grounds 
| probably the most extensive tests ever undertaken by a seed house in America. These 
| Trial Grounds—partial views of which we illustrate on this page—are situated on the Hudson 
| Boulevard, Jersey City, and at Hackensack, N. J., and are about 60 acres in extent. Our 
. careful and painstaking methods during a long series of years have caused the name 
_ “Henderson” to become indissolubly linked with all that is best in seeds; because our 
constant purpose has always been, and will continue to be, to supply to our customers, 
choice seeds~of the best, selected strains for market purposes. The result of this policy 
has been, that each and every one of our customers has become, in his own locality, / 
a standings advertisement and reference, as to the quality of our seeds, and gained y 
for us an ever-widening circle of patrons and friends. Our stocks are now com- 
_ plete, and with the greatest confidence we solicit your continued patronage. 
Respectfully yours, 
President.
