67 
CYCLES OF SEASONS 
- For - 
PETER HENDERSON &• CO. 
The year 1913 enters with the 67th cycle of seasons since our business was 
founded and with it our Catalogue of “Everything for the Garden.It is with pleasure 
that we present a copy of this, containing our offers of “Everything that is Best” in Seeds 
Plants, Bulbs, Implements, Fertilizers, Insecticides, etc. for the Garden, Farm, and Lawn—to each 
of our friends and patrons with our compliments and best wishes for their continued happiness and 
prosperity. It is with pardonable pride we state that these friends and patrons aggregate nearly 
half a million, many having dealt with us for decades—some families through generations—and we largely 
credit our business success to their supporting appreciation of our efforts to produce and supply 
"Superior Seeds That Yield Superior Products." 
It is not our customers’ patronage alone that we gratefully acknowledge, but also their many kind letters 
of commendation and valuable suggestions. The illustrations on our cover this year were suggested by a 
lady patron who wrote: “Why do you not picture celebrated gardens on your book, that would show us 
something? ’’ So we have acted on this advice and show the first of a series of pictures “Gardens of the Great” 
viz: the Washington Garden at Mount Vernon and the Queen’s Garden at Windsor Castle, England. Our Gar¬ 
den Guide—pocket edition—is the result of one customer’s need and suggestion, and many others could be cited. 
The house of Peter Henderson & Co. and their patrons are therefore working together for mutual good. 
This is particularly gratifying this year for two more .Hendersons—grandsons of Peter Henderson, the 
founder of our house—have entered our business, viz: Peter Henderson, son of Alfred Henderson, 
and Howard Henderson, son of Charles Henderson. 
We assure our customers that we shall continue our efforts to worthily hold their friendly 
support. 
Sincerely yours, 
President
