‘‘Better Gardens 
The home garden, whether in the city, or the 
town, or on the farm, is today of the rhost vital 
importance to the country. For years Peter 
Henderson & Co. have urged the planting of 
more gardens because of the obvious economy, 
but now there is a new appeal that cannot be 
disregarded. The home garden is an increasing 
factor in food conservation, and from month to 
month the need becomes more pressing and 
urgent, not only of “more gardens” but also of 
“better gardens.” 
Make your home garden a better garden this 
year by the most intelligent use of the space you 
have-not only by using better methods but by 
planting seeds of a-known quality. The initial 
cost of the seeds that you plant is one of the 
smallest items, but it . is the most important, 
arid you cannot get the fullest results unless 
you have started right. ’ 
Henderson’s seeds, are tested seeds. Many of the methods of seed testiiljr in use today, 
originated with thie founder of our firm and these have been improved from year to 
year. Our seventy-one years of success in our business of seed raising, testing and selling 
has given an unequalled experience that is back of every packet or package of seed we selE 
Not only must your seeds be the* best but your methods should be right. And to help 
in this we have prepared a booklet entitled “Better Gardens.” This consists of extracts 
from the book, “Garden Guide and Record,” which we have published for a number of 
years for the use of our customers only-—“Better Gardens” will be sent to all who send 
us ten cents for our special offer below. . ■ ' , 
"Everything for the Garden*’ is the title of our Annual Catalogue. It is really a book of
