PETER HENDERSON & CO.— FLOWER SEEDS. 



Which begins on next page, will, we think, be found to contain everything 

 deserving a place in the garden. Many of our choicest varieties we save seed 

 of each season at our grounds and greenhouses in Jersey City, where, also, 

 all novelties in this line, as they appear, are given a fair trial, and, when con- 

 sidered desirable additions, find a permanent place in our Catalogues. Besides 

 our list of "NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN FLOWER SEEDS" (see 

 Index, second page of cover), oar General List will be found to contain many 

 rare and newer varieties not usually offered by other houses.

This competition is open to all, whether amateurs, private gardeners, or professional horticul- 

 turists ; only, those intending to compete, whether they order seeds by letter, or in person at our 

 stores will please to so state at the time of ordering. "We might state, however, that customers 

 who may have purchased of us at any time since July, 1882, can compete, as some of the above 

 seeds must necessarily have been sown last Summer or Fall, in order to have the plants in blooming 

 condition during 1883. The names of successful competitors for these prizes will be published in our 

 Catalogue for 1884, unless otherwise desired. Such publication, from its large circulation, will 

 give credit to successful exhibitors much more widely than any newspaper publication of the 

 awards of a Horticultural Society. As soon as all entries are in and decided upon, our check 

 for the prizes due successful exhibitors will be promptly forwarded.
