Better Gardens 
American food in vast quantities must continue 
to go to Europe. The home garden, vyhether in 
the city or the town, or on the farm, is of most 
vital importance to the country. Your garden 
will help in our country’s great work for 
humanity; it will help hold market prices to a 
reasonable level; and it will cut in two the cost 
of your table. For years Peter Henderson & Co. 
have urged the planting of more gardens because 
of the obvious economy, but now there is an 
added appeal that cannot be disregarded. The 
need for more gardens and better gardens is 
greater than ever. 
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, 
and you cannot get the fullest results unless you have started right. 
Henderson’s seeds are tested seeds. Many of the methods of seed test¬ 
ing in use today originated with the founder of our firm and these have 
been improved from year to year. Our seventy-two years of success 
in our business of seed raising, testing and selling has given an 
unequalled experience that is i back of every packet or package of 
seed we sell, 
“Everything for the Garden” 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, showing actual results 
without exaggeration.
