PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— GENERAL WHOLESALE CATALOGUE.

IMPORTANT to purchasers wn bulk. 



We would again call the attention of dealers to the advantage of handling Henderson's Tested Seeds in original sealed 

 packages. 



FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. 



We are well known as the largest advertisers in the seed business, and our catalogues, lists and advertising posters are by far the 

 most costly and effective, hence dealers who sell our seeds in our original sealed packages to a great extent, reap 

 the benefit of these expenditures. Besides, the risk of mixing the seeds, or in mistake, supplying the customer with the wrong 

 article is reduced to a minimum. With market gardeners especially, this is a matter of extreme importance. 



SALES HAVE DOUBLED WITHIN TWO YEARS. 



The experience of nearly every dealer who has handled our seeds in this way has been of a most satisfactory nature, in some 

 cases, the sales having doubled within two years after their adoption of this plan. We were the first seed firm to adopt this 

 safeguard, and we are the only house in the world to-day that sends out all their Vegetable seeds in sealed packages.

Practically all our seeds are 

 now put up in elegantly litho- 

 graphed packets, showing the ve- 

 getable or flower represented in 

 natural colors. The designs were 

 painted true from nature by our 

 own artist ; the lithographing has 

 been executed in the finest manner, 

 each packet being really a work of 

 art, as much superior to the colored 

 packets usually sent out as are the 

 seeds they contain, for we put in 

 them absolutely the same high- 

 grade seeds that we use for our own 

 critical retail trade. These, when 

 displayed in our new counter boxes 

 and display cases (described on 

 pages 20 to 23), make a very 

 attractive appearance, worthy of 



a prominent position in any store. Full descriptions and cultural directions are printed on the back of 

 each packet.
