SUPERIOR^SEEDS, PLANTS, BULBS, ETC. 
ARE GENUINE ONLY WHEN SUPPLIED 
BY THEM DIRECT TO THE PLANTER 
By only supplying the planter direct we remove the 
tendency to dangerously cheapen production, which 
successful competition for the dealer s trade continually 
demands. 
By only supplying the planter direct — and not dividing profits 
with dealers—we are able to supply, at the lowest pos¬ 
sible prices, THE BEST SEEDS, Etc., THE WORLD 
PRODUCES. 
By only supplying the planter direct customers are 
protected from having other seeds foisted upon 
them as "Henderson's.”

HOW TO ORDER, ETC. 
Remittances should be made in the form of an Express Money 
Order, P. O. Money Order, Bank Draft or Registered Letter. 
Customers can also shop by Express, as all express companies 
have purchasing departments in all their offices. They make 
no charge, other than usual rates, for returning goods. 
Goods wanted C. 0. D. must have 25 per cent, of the amount 
accompany the order. Plants we do not ship C. O. D. 
Give full shipping instructions on each and every order you 
send. 
When orders are not accompanied with cash, parties who have 
no account vith us must furnish satisfactory reference, New 
York City preferred, on account of a saving in time. Charge 
orders from unknown parties not accompanied with reference 
will be delayed pending the usual investigation. 
Be sure to sign your name and give your address. Many 
orders reach us lacking either or both; customers when writing 
about unsigned orders will aid us in identification by mentioning 
some of the articles ordered. 
Every order is filled within a day or two after arrival, or is 
acknowledged if, under rare circumstances, its shipment is likely 
to be delayed. If goods, notification of shipment or acknowl¬ 
edgement of order is not received by the customer after a 
reasonable lapse of time, it may be assumed that the order has 
miscarried, or that the name or address was omitted from the 
order. We will, when notified of such, use our best efforts to 
trace it without delay. 
PETER HENDERSON & CO. give no warranty, express or 
implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other 
matter of any Seeds, Bulbs or Plants they send out, and they 
will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the pur¬ 
chaser does not accept the goods on these terms, they are at 
once to be returned.

BEWARE OF FRAUDULENT TRAVELING AGENTS. — 
Every season we have complaints from different sections of the 
country of parties who fraudulently represent us and collect 
money in our name. All remittances should be sent direct to 
our firm. 
GARDENERS AND HEAD-FARMERS’ SITUATIONS.—We 
have at all time a number of practical gardeners and farm 
managers’ names on our book who are in want of situations. 
If parties desiring such will write to us we shall be glad to put 
them in communication with men that we deem suitable. To 
aid us in making a selection we ask full particulars, whether a 
married or single man is wanted and the nature of the situation 
to be filled, also about what they expect to pay and any other 
particulars. We make no charge for this service, either to 
employer or employee.
