Your  Seedsman’s 
Reputation  and  the 
Quality  It  Ensures 
ALL  of  the  seeds  that  you  purchase  are 
bought  entirely  upon  the  reputation  of 
w  the  seller.  You  cannot  judge  their  quality 
yourself  as  you  do  with  so  many  of  the  other 
commodities  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  inves¬ 
tigates  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  today  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 
77  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. 
t  .  .  .  .  : 
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.
