w» ■*?

It is the guide which shows us what is right, and what is wrong, and enables 

 us to carry out the time-honored Henderson policy of " Purity of Type " and 

 ' 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, 



his son, the present head of the house, and his grandsons, Peter Henderson and 



Howard 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 standing advertisement and reference, as to the quality of our seeds, and gained 

 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,
