Your Seedsman’s 
Reputation and the 
Quality It Ensures 
ALL of the seeds that you purchase are 
bought entirely upon the reputation of the 
seller. You cannot judge their quality your¬ 
self as you do with so many of the other com¬ 
modities you buy. Not even the most thoroughly 
trained seedsman or horticulturist can give a 
satisfactory opinion upon their quality without 
exhaustive tests. 
Thus the wise and experienced buyer investigates 
first the reputation of his seedsman. It is his 
best, in fact, his only assurance. 
The business of Peter Henderson & Company 
was established in 1847 and has been built to its 
present proportions by the most careful attention 
to quality. The third generation of Hendersons are 
in charge to-day and there is something more than 
just a plain business relationship existing between 
themselves, their employees and their customers. 
When you buy Henderson’s seeds you buy 76 
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 your farm and garden 
costs is represented by the seeds, but they are by 
far the most important item. — Henderson's 
Seeds are Tested Seeds.
