HENDERSON’S COLLECTIONS OF 
PraTl VEGETABLE SEEDS PUZ] 
SAVE 
MONEY 
OUR CHOICEST SELECTIONS FOR QUALITY, QUANTITY AND CONTINUITY AT A VERY GREAT SAVING OF COST 
HENDERSON'S COLLECTIONS OF VEGETABLE SEEDS 
Contain seeds of only true and tried varieties, most carefully selected to give a continuous supply of vegetables of exclusively 
high quality, throughout the season. The quantities are proportioned to meet the requirements of such gardens as are indicated by 
the titles of the collections, will be found convenient for patrons who find it somewhat confusing and irksome to look through the 
catalogue and who prefer our judgment as to kinds and quantities. It may be that there are one or more items in these collections 
that some will not desire, but even if such are not wanted, the great saving in price will more than compensate. We cannot 
allow any alterations, because these collections are put up in quantities, ready to ship, before the commencement of our busy sea¬ 
son, thus enabling us to sell them at very much less than the articles would cost separately.
