All Roses W Look Alike — 
= on paper — but PETERSON ROSES are different — 
| superior — and then plus. i 
They’re the result of many years of enthusiastic, pains- | 
| taking effort by one who has made Rose-growing a life- 
| long hobby, passion—call it what you will. | 
And right here in Fair Lawn, N. J., we are admittedly 
| now growing the strongest, finest Rose plants the world 
| has ever seen. | 
| “Peterson Roses” have revolutionized outdoor rose- 
| growing — made success rise out of the ashes of former | 
i failures — as thousands of enthusiastic patrons all over the 
| United States and Canada have experienced. | 
If, this year, you want “real roses” in your garden all 
| Summer and Fall, send now for a 1916 copy of i 
| “A Little Book About Roses” 
| an exquisite publication dear to the heart of every Rose | 
1 lover who knows it. |

Quality and Reputation 
A^LL of the seeds, plants and bulbs that you purchase are 
bought on the reputation of the seller. Even the most 
thoroughly trained seedsman or horticulturist is unable to 
give a satisfactory opinion without exhaustive tests, and 
with this fact in mind it is always desirable to first investi¬ 
gate the reputation of your seedsman. The business of 
Peter Henderson & Co. 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 Plenderson’s seeds 
you buy 69 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. The very smallest part 
of the cos-t is represented by the seeds, 
and it is by far the most important. Try 
the Henderson Way this year and see if 
there isn’t a difference. 
Our catalogue “Everything for the Garden,” 206 
pages, 16 color plates and 1,000 illustrations, together 
with the Henderson Collection of six packets of flower 
and vegetable seeds in a coupon envelope good for 25 
cents on any order of $1.00 or over, mailed on re¬ 
ceipt of 10 cents.
