This Market Gardeners ... 



Wholesale 

 ....Catalogue 



of VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



The prices herein quoted on vegetable seeds are based on 

 customers paying delivery charges when sent either by express 

 "freight, but here is a plan whereby it rests with you whether we 

 pay the freight or you. On purchases of vegetable seeds from this 

 ' List to the value of $10.00 and upwards. WE WILL I>E- 

 LIVER. FREE, by freight or express at our option, 

 to any railroad station in the United States, PROVID- 

 ED that at least half of the order is composed of small 

 seeds that is, any vegetable seeds in the List other than Peas, Beans, Corn, 

 Onion Sets and Potatoes. If your order does not amount to $10 00, you can 

 avail vourself of this offer by combining your order with one or more of your 

 neighbors. When seeds are desired by mail, postage must 

 be added at the rate of 8c. per lb. On Peas, Beans and Corn, 10c. per 

 quart. Packets, ounces and quarter pounds are mailed free. 

 Half a pound will be supplied at pound rates ; half a peck at 

 peck rates ; half a bushel at bushel rates. When packets are 

 wanted and they are not here priced, we will furnish at 

 Retail Catalogue prices, subject to a discount of 

 twenty-five per cent. 



Offers in more condensed form and at much lower prices the 

 varieties of vegetable Seeds, etc., both new and old which are to 

 be found described in our retail catalogue of " Everything for 

 the Garden " and those desiring fuller descriptions of the various sorts are referred to that catalogue. We were, we think, the first seed house to 

 recognize the justice of giving Market Gardeners lower prices than those who simply grew for their own use or for amusement, and as the tendency 

 the last few years has been for lower prices on nearly all seeds the prices given this season, will be found satisfactory. 



VEGETABLE ROOTS- 

 VEGETABLE PLANTS. 



When we Execute Orders. 



Even order is filled immediately on arrival, or is ac- 

 knowledged if, under rare circumstances, its shipment is likely to 

 be delayed for a day or two. If goods, notification of shipment, or 

 acknowledgment of order is not received by the customer after a 

 reasonable lapse of time, it may be assumed that the order has 

 miscarried, or that the name or address was omitted from the 

 order. We will, where notified of such a case, use our best efforts 

 to trace it without delay. 



We fill orders of all values, from the smallest to the largest, 

 and all receive the same careful and prompt attention. 



Packing and Shipping- 



We make no charge for packing, c»ses, baskets- pack- 

 ages or barrels, 'when goods are offered by the barrel) and 

 pack as lightly as possible consistent with safety so as to reduce 

 the cost of carriage. In fact, we assume extra expense in sup- 

 plying light, strong cases, and, where possible, we pack in 

 baskets, covered with waterproof covers, which greatly reduces 

 weight. 



Cloth Bags only we charge for, and these at cost, viz.: 1 peck, 

 ioc. ; \ bush. , 12c; 1 bush., isc; 2 busk., aoc. All grass seed 

 bags, excepting bags for Timothy and Clover, are furnished free. 



We make no charge for cartage or delivery of goods to 

 any railroad station, steamship line or express office in New 

 York City. 



The safe arrival is guaranteed of all goods sent by express 

 to any part of the United States or Canada. We ship plants at 

 all seasons of the year, even in the coldest weather. 



The advantage that we possess in shipping from New 



Tcrk is pronounced on account of the many different routes by 

 which we can ship, and the consequent competition in speed and 

 transportation rates, thereby securing for our customers quick 

 delivery at the lowest cost. In' most instances customers can get 

 their goods more quickly and cheaply from us than when ordered 

 nearer home. 



How to order. 



By writing out your order on the order sheet which accom- 

 panies this catalogue you will greatly facilitate our work. When 

 goods are ordered from both seed and greenhouse establish- 

 ments, we always combine the orders where practicable and 

 make one shipment. 



Be sure to sign your name and give your address. 

 Many orders reach us lacking either or both; customers when 

 writing about unsigned orders will aid us in identification by 

 mentioning some of the articles ordered. 



Give full shipping instructions on each and every order 

 you send. To avoid chance of error, never write letters on the 

 same sheet as your order. 



How to Remit. 



Remittances should be made either in the form of an Express 

 Money Order, P. O. Money Order, Bank Draft or Regis- 

 tered Letter. 



Customers can also shop by express, as ad express com- 

 panies have purchasing departments in all their offices. If you 

 wish to order goods from us, to be sent by express, ask for a 

 Purchasing Order Blank at any express office, and it will be 

 supplied and forwarded without charge, other than usual rates 

 for returning goods. 



If goods are wanted C. O. D , 25 per cent, of the amount 

 must accompany the order. Compliance with this will avoid 

 delay in filling order. 



Orders from unknown correspondents, not accompanied 

 by a remittance, should send New York City reference, to save 

 delay. 



Peter Henderson <fc Co. give no warranty, express or itn 

 plied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any othei 

 matter of any seeds, bulbs, or plants they send out, and they 

 will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the pur- 

 chaser does not accept the goods on these terms, they are at onct 

 to be returned.
