An Assurance of Strength 
There is a sense of security in having the best. It is often 
just the element a man needs to insure that confidence that 
begets success. 
It is such a feeling that comes to a man when he detaches a 
Peerless Patent Book Form Card 
and sends it in to the man inside. He knows, while he 
waits, that he will be well judged because he has the best card. 
This best card has smooth edges aU around after being de¬ 
tached, and the book form and the case insures every card 
absolutely against dirt or injury. 
It embodies every characteristic that could be wished for in 
a card, and eliminates the inconveniences of a loose card in 
your pocket or case. Besides there is an exhilaration in us¬ 
ing and exhibiting it among your friends who invariably are 
attracted by its practical uniqueness. 
Send today for a sample tab of the cards, 
and see for yourself that it is the 
best.

The Unknown Quantity 
In planting a garden, whether large or small, the initial cost of the 
seeds themselves is by far the smallest item of expense. 
Good soil, with water and sun, will produce crops if the unknown 
quantity—that is, the quality — of the seeds proves also good. 
The thousands of dollars that are expended each year by Peter Hender¬ 
son & Co. in their exhaustive tests and trials are spent to reduce this unknown 
quantity to such a minimum that it is removed almost entirely. 
In buying Henderson’s seeds you are buying seeds that have been tested 
and tried and have been found up to the Henderson standard, a standard 
which is not exceeded by any seed house in the world. In planting your 
garden it pays to start right, and you can be sure that there is no unknown 
quantity in your garden if you use Henderson’s seeds. Henderson’s are 
tested seeds.
