has been thoroughly tested on 130 acre farm, in con- 
servatories, gardens, etc. In fact, scientists in Europe 
and America have been testing the effect of radium up- 
on plant life for ten years. In addi- 
tion to its beneficial effects, it has 
been discovered that where Radium 
Brand Fertilizer (R.A.F.) was used, 
plants suffered less from soil par- 
asites, especially cut worms. Dr. 
H. H. Rusby, Columbia University, 
in speaking of his experiments with 
Radium Brand Fertilizer (R.A.F.) 
says: “Perhaps the most important Tkjo\ 
effect of the radium was that r ,S

Quality and Reputation 
A LL of the seeds, plants and bulbs that you purchase are bought on the 
reputation of the seller. Even the most thoroughly trained seedsman 
or horticulturist is unable to give a satisfactory opinion without exhaustive 
tests, and with this fact in mind it is always desirable to first investigate the 
reputation of your seedsman. The business of Peter Henderson & Co., was 
established in 1847 and has been built to its present proportions by the most 
carefid attention to quality. 
The third generation of Hendersons are in charge today and there is some- 
thing more than just a plain business relationship existing between themselves, 
their employees and their customers. When you buy Henderson’s seeds you buy 
69 years of experience; you buy the prestige and reputation of years of successful 
seed raising and selling; you buy seeds that have behind them the sentiment 
brought out by many years of careful, conscientious attention to our customers 
and their wants. The very smallest part of the cost is represented by the seeds 
and it is by far the most important. Try the Henderson Way 
this year and see if there isn’t a difference.

Yellow Sweet Corn 
Early, Tender, Juicy and Sweet 
Ordway’s Golden is the original yellow sweet corn 
and has been grown by the Ordways nearly forty- 
five years. Previous to 1900 it had only a local 
reputation but since its introduction at that time 
it has gained favor in many households throughout 
the land and is now regarded as the ideal corn. 
A State Agricultural College stated in its bulletin 
some years ago that a thorough test of the various 
strains of yellow sweet corn resulted in their select- 
ing Ordway’s as the best. We do not boast of three 
ears to the stalk, let alone the five which one seeds- 
man claims is a possibility with his strain, but if we 
get two good ears on most of the stalks we consider 
it a first-rate yield.
