HENDERSON'S AUTUMN CATALOGUE— 1929— CUT FLOWERS 



How to Order Fresh-Cut Flowers 



By Mail, Long-Distance Telephone and Telegraph, or Your Own Florist 

 Make Use of Our Cut Flower Department Established for the Convenience of Our Customers 



Address all communications to Peter Henderson & Co., 35 Cortlandt Street, New York 



because of our location at New York City, we can make quick deliveries of fresh-cut 



flowers to all out-going steamers from this port, or to any address in New York City. 



HOW TO ORDER. You remit to us the amount you wish to spend, with your order 



and we will deliver as instructed. Customers having charge accounts with us, may 



telegraph their orders and have them charged. 



Customers are often in a dilemma as to just the kind of flowers they should send, and 

 no doubt this uncertainty often discourages them from ordering. It is usually better 

 to leave the selection of flowers to us. Tell us in your letter or telegram for what purpose 

 the flowers are to be used, for instance, whether for a bouquet, a corsage or a floral 

 design, or loose flowers suitable for vases. We will then be able to supply a much better 

 selection than could be specified from a distance. 



Be careful to send the full name and address of the person to whom the flowers are 

 to be sent; also the form of greeting or message to be enclosed with them. 

 There is Also Another Method of Ordering 



It has been well said that the Florists' 

 Telegraph Delivery Association is "the 

 world's superlative example of co-ordination 

 in the delivery of merchandise" because any- 

 one can now step into a members shop, and 

 Drder a delivery of flowers to practically any 

 address in the world, with the certain knowl- 

 edge that within a very short space of timt 

 the gift will be on its way. 



We are members of the Florists' Tele- 

 graph Delivery Association, and through 

 it, we can deliver fresh-cut flowers to any city, 

 town or village in the U. S. A. All that is 

 necessary for you to do, is to go to any Florist 

 in your town who is a member of this Associ- 

 ation, and place your order with him. Tell 

 him that you wish Peter Henderson & Co. to 

 fill the order. He will then telegraph the order 

 to us, and we will deliver the flowers to the 

 given address, thereby saving much time.
