Save One-Half 
Your Table Expenses 
F IFTY percent of your table expense during the 
greater part of the year is for things that could easily 
be grown in your own garden.—At such a time as 
the present, food conservation is of vital importance, but 
your own garden means more than food saving; it means 
the creation of food. Every article on your table that 
comes crisp and fresh from your own garden counts 
double in the economic resources of our country. Every 
plot of available ground should be utilized to the best 
advantage. Not only more gardens but better gardens is the urgent need. 
Better gardens can be had by the use of higher quality of seeds and by improving the 
methods of planting. The seventy-two years of experience in seed raising and selling 
that is behind every packet of Henderson’s seeds should and does make them the best 
that it is possible to obtain. Henderson’s Tested Seeds are all that the name implies. 
Not only must your seeds be the best but your methods must be right. Our “Garden Guide and 
Record,” which is sent upon request to all customers on orders of two dollars or over, will be found 
of splendid assistance. It is a concise and comprehensive handbook full of real garden informa¬ 
tion. The most convenient and practical book we have ever published.

is the title of our Annual Catalogue. It is really a book of 184 pages, handsomely-bound, with a 
beautifully embossed cover, 8 color plates and 1,000 half-tones, direct from photographs, show¬ 
ing actual results without exaggeration. It is a library of everything worth while, either in farm. 
garden or home.

^T 1 RAIN ED men were with¬ 
drawn from every line to pat 
the country on a war basis, and the 
re-adjustment will necessarily be a 
long one. 
The seed trade has been no ex¬ 
ception to the rule; hence we urge our 
customers to send in their orders at 
once, before the Spring rush begins. 
It will be a vast help to us in 
doing our part in feeding the country 
to be able to execute orders in January 
and February that in ordinary times 
come to us in March and April. 
So, whether you buy from us or 
any other seed house, send in your 
order early.
