ORDER EARLY 
Every Post Office a Henderson Seed Store 
Business conditions are still disturbed and disorganized, and transportation facilities are 
still taxed to their full capacity; hence delays may be expected, especially in shipping goods in 
large quantities by express or freight. We therefore urge our customers to send in their orders 
for seeds, etc., as soon after the receipt of this catalogue as possible. 
Do not wait until the Spring rush is on, but send in orders in January or February, because 
the seed will keep with you as well as with us, and you will thereby, in all probability, be spared 
disastrous delays when you are ready to plant. 
The professional gardener always orders his seeds in January or February—• 
Cabbage, Cauliflower, Lettuce, Tomato, Egg Plant and Peppers can be started early in 
a window box and you will have fine strong plants to set out as soon as the ground is in condition. 
PARCEL POST ZONES AND RATES 
On shipments weighing 20 pounds or more beyond the 2d postal zone it is cheaper to ship seeds 
py express. As the express companies give a receipt for each package.it amounts practically to 
insurance without cost, whereas it costs extra, according to value, to insure a parcel post package. 
We guarantee the safe arrival in the U. S. of all seeds shipped by express or insured parcel post. 
IF GOODS ARE WANTED BY PARCEL POST. POSTAGE MUST BE ADDED AS 
PER TABLE BELOW, EXCEPT FOR THOSE QUANTITIES OF SEEDS WE OFFER TO 
DELIVER FREE. 
The Postal Weight of Beans, Peas and Corn is One Pound per Pint. 
For other merchandise mailable by Parcel Post offered in this catalogue—Tools and Acces- 
ories. Odorless Fertilizers, Insecticides and Fungicides (Fluids and Poisons excluded)—we have 
given the packed 
weight so that extra 
for postage may be 
remitted according to 
Zone distance as below. 
OUR 
IMPORTANT — In 
remitting postage al¬ 
ways add it to the foot 
of the order as a sepa¬ 
rate item —this will 
help to avoid mis¬ 
takes. 
We forward seeds 
to post offices in for¬ 
eign countries by In¬ 
ternational Parcel Post 
when mail routes are 
open. See our Inter¬ 
national Parcel Post 
Circular mailed on 
application.
