Our Annual Catalogue of 
EVERYTHING 
for the GARDEN 
FAMOUS IN AMERICA SINCE 1847 
Henderson’s Diamond Jubilee 
1921 ushers in the dawn of our seventy-fifth year 
in the business of supplying seeds to the American 
people. 
“Since Adam Dug and Eve Spun,” the 
methods of gardening have indeed changed but 
not the leading principles. 
Henderson’s Tested Seeds have stood 
the test of time. Three-quarters of a cen 
tury ago Henderson’s was the standard 
by which other seeds were judged, and 
the same comparisons are made at the 
present time. Our methods of seed 
testing and trials, which were con¬ 
sidered the best three generations 
ago, are still the best, so that 
the name of Henderson has 
become i ndissolubly connected 
with all that is best in seeds. 
“SINCE 1847 ” 
It is proverbial that 
“great oaks from little 
acorns grow,’’and the 
history of the house 
of Henderson 
proves the truth of 
axiom. From a small 
beginning in 1847 by the 
late Peter Henderson 
the business has grown to 
its present large proportions, 
and it is still carried on by his 
son and his grandsons. The 
worth of a house whose business 
has been carried on successfully by 
three generations has inspired that 
confidence essential to the success of a 
seed business, because seeds arc sold en¬ 
tirely on reputation. The time-honored 
Henderson policy of “ Purity of Type ” and 
“ Quality of Stocks” has always been strictly 
adhered to, because it is on that foundation 
that our business was built. 
The results of this policy are evident in the ever- 
increasing number of appreciative letters we 
annually receive from our customers, which if 
printed would take up the entire space in this 
catalogue. 
Many of our friends have dealt with us continuously for 
more than fifty years, but such old friends are neces¬ 
sarily limited in number; and we are glad to say 
that there is every year a large accession to our 
list of patrons. 
This is owing to the circumstance that each 
customer becomes in his or her locality a 
standing advertisement and reference for us, 
and gains for us an ever-widening circle 
of friends. 
If you are not already enrolled in our 
ever-increasing army of customers we 
invite you to purchase a supply now 
of Henderson’s Tested Seeds 
and grow your own fresh vege¬ 
tables on your own nlot of 
ground. 
SUMMER SOWN 
VEGETABLES 
This year we want par¬ 
ticularly to draw the 
attention of our cus¬ 
tomers'to the ease 
with which the out¬ 
put of their gardens 
may be doubled. 
After having gathered 
the first crops seeds should 
again be sown in June, July 
and August. 
# secret of success with late 
plantings lies in sowing only early 
maturing varieties designated in 
our catalogue as “early,” and then 
thinning out the plants as soon as 
they show above ground — instead of 
transplanting—so that they.receive no 
check in growth. 
Wc print on this page a photo sent to us by 
one of our old friends, which is typical of the 
interest taken in our annual catalogue. 
Our Diamond Jubilee Edition of Everything 
for the Garden is presented herewith. It will 
be found replete with all that is desirable in Seeds, 
Bulbs and Roots, all grown and selected with the 
same painstaking care which has been our custom for 
the long period of seventy-five years. 
Sincerely yours, 
PETER HENDERSON & CO., 35 and 37 Cortlandt Street, NEW YORK
