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



PETER HENDERSON & GO'S 



Vegetable and Flower Seeds, 



IP Superb G ol °red Packets for Retailing. 



(SEE SPECIMEN OIS PAGE 19.) 



Practically all of our seeds are now put up in elegantly lithographed 

 packets, showing the vegetable 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 the following pages), make a very 

 attractive appearance, worthy of a prominent position in any store. 

 For descriptions of varieties and retail prices see our Retail Cata- 

 logue, mailed free on application.

• • • WE DO NOT "COMMISSION" OR PLACE OUR SEEDS OUT " ON SALE.'' 



We are strongly opposed to the system of selling seeds on "commission" on account of the large percentage of boxes 

 which often get into the hands of indifferent parties who sell none at all or only a very few packets. Large quantities • • 



have, therefore, to be destroyed or used over and over again, and the increased cost of our selected seeds renders such 

 a system impracticable. 



In no case is the choicest and best germinating stocks used for commission boxes. The public, too, are becoming 

 • • aware of this and avoid "commission" seeds, while ours are eagerly sought after, because they are of the very best 



quality and such as are supplied to our most critical market gardening trade. 



Our magnificent catalogues will be furnished free to all who sell Peter Henderson & Co's 

 SEEDS, and will be supplied in quantities proportionate to the value of their orders. 



If you tandle our seeds annually, and when your orders justify it, we will print your 

 name, address, and business card on the front cover and supply you with a reasonable 

 quantity without charge. 



Colored Posters and Hangers. We have several handsome designs in both vegetable 

 and flower seed hangers which will be furnished free to all who sell our seeds.
