Henderson’s Honor Arch 
OUR FIRM, SINCE ITS FOUNDATION BY TH$ LATE PETER HENDERSON IN 
1847,'HAS PLAYED NO INCONSIDERABLE PART IN IMPROVING—WHAT ARE 
TO THE HUMAN RACE—THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL PLANTS, VIZ. 
EDIBLE VEGETABLES. 1921 IS OUR DIAMOND JUBILEE YEAR SO BY MEANS 
OF THIS SYMBOLIC DESIGN WHICH WF CALL OUR HONOR ARCH WE DE- 
• SIRE TO RECALL TO THE RECOLLECTION OF OUR FRIENDS BOTH OLD AND 
NEW SOME OF THE GOOD THINGS IN VEGETABLES, WHICH WE HAVE IN¬ 
TRODUCED. IN ALL THESE ENDEAVORS, SPREAD OVER A LONG SERIES 
OF YEARS,WE HAYE ALWAYS KEPT ONE GUIDING PRINCIPLE BEFORE US, 
VIZ., TO IMPROVE AND ENHANCE THE.QUALITY OF ALL OUR PRODUCTS. 
WE HAVE NOT STRIVEN BLINDLY FOR SIZE ALONE, IRRESPECTIVE OF 
THE NATURE OF THE PLANTS WE HAVE IMPROVED 
A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS IS SEEN IN HENDERSON S PONDBROSA 
TOMATO, NOTED FOR ITS GREAT SIZE. THIS WE HAVE, BY CONSTANT 
CARE IN SELECTING FOR SEED, ALSO GREATLY IMPROVED IN QUALITY. 
SO ALSO WITH OTHER VEGETABLES WE HAVE INTRODUCED. 
OUR HONOR ARCH WOULD NEED TO BE DRAWN TWICETHE SIZBTOCON 
TAIN THE NAMES OF ALL THE VARIETIES OF VEGETABLES, FLOWERS AND 
GRAINS THAT WE HAVE INTRODUCED, BUT THOSE WE HAVE PLACED THERE 
ARE SUCH AS HAVE BEEN, AND ARE LIKELY TO REMAIN, STANDARD SORTS.
