Here Are Two Books That Will Help 
Increase Your Profits 
T HE two Hendersoh Seed Books are the Farmer’s ency¬ 
clopedias; 290 pages of facts, figures, data of all kinds, 
useful to the farmer and his family. They have nearly 
1,000 illustrations. Eight plates in full color (fine enough to 
frame, some folks say). Twelve pages of cultural facts. 
Tables for planting every sort of vegetable, common or 
uncommon, and tested information as to how to get the 
biggest returns in size, quantity and quality. Page after 
page of seed information and letters telling of the results, 
of the extra profits made by other practical farmers. No 
man who is planting for profits can afford to miss these 
books. We’ll tell you how to get them free. But first 
a word 
For the Farmer’s Wife 
This big famous 1913 Henderson Seed Book and its companion—“Henderson’s Garden Guide and 
Record”—contain some very interesting news for the farmer’s wife too. We have gotten Mrs. 
Rorer, the world famous culinary artist, to give us a special canning recipe for each vegetable listed in our big book. 
To buy these in a book would cost you $2.00, for Mrs. Rorer’s cook books have never sold for less. But you can get them in 
Henderson’s Garden Guide without cost to you. 
What Tested Seeds Mean 
to the Farmer 
Tested seeds give you the chance to make every atom of your 
farming knowledge tell to the utmost—the chance to coin your 
experience into bigger profits. 
For the planting, fertilizing, cultivating, harvesting—every¬ 
thing in the raising of farm products costs the same, whether you 
used ordinary seeds or the Henderson TESTED big yield kind. 
But the difference in results often exceeds 25 per cent. 
We have been in business since 1847 (66 years). Our tested 
seeds have won hundreds and hundreds of awards and medals at 
county, state and international world’s fairs. 
Every day we are getting letters from people astonished at the 
results of Henderson’s Tested Seeds. “ Tour Special Grass Mixture 
has done well for me," writes one Indiana farmer. “It produced last 
season the biggest crop of hay I ever saw cut off the ground.” “I was 
awarded the Gold Medal at the Alaska-Yukon Pacific Exposition 
wrote a Washington man, “ for my celery which I grew from your 
Perfected White Plume Seed." “For years I have been making a 
specialty of growing Pole Lima Leans," writes a man from Missouri. 
“/ have bought nearly everything offered by the different seedsmen , but 
have never found anything to compare with the Henderson Ideal for size, 
yield and quality."

And so it goes in thousands of letters. For anything grown 
on the farm, you have only to put the same care back of 
Henderson’s TESTED Seeds to get better yields and bigger 
profits.
