PETER HENDERSON & CO., 
H AND 37 CORTLANDT STREET, 
PROSPERITY 
FOLLOWS 
CLOSE UPON 
THE HEELS 
OF PEACE. 
T HE radical departure that we made last season 
of selling only direct to consumers, and no 
longer supplying dealers to sell again, has been 
most satisfactory to our customers and ourselves. 
We have received hundreds of letters from cus¬ 
tomers commending our change of policy, which 
ensures their receiving the genuine PETER HEN¬ 
DERSON & CO.’S seeds from us direct, instead 
of having spurious articles foisted upon them by 
unscrupulous dealers. We beg to thank all our -— 
customers for their kind words and substantial encouragement in this vitally important 
step that we have taken, and to say that for our part we shall redouble our efforts to 
merit the support which we have received by supplying only the best and purest stocks 
at lower prices than ever before. 
I N THE little sketch above, our artist has endeavored 
to portray the conditions as they exist in this country 
to-day. The glistening bayonets of our victorious regi¬ 
ments and the booming of Dewey’s guns are already 
becoming but a memory. The legions of industry are 
rapidly coming into the field, peace having been restored 
by our gallant army and navy, and our great country 
is entering on a career of prosperity such as the world 
has never known. The good times that are coming 
have been largely brought about by the farmers and 
gardeners of this country. The magnificent crops of 
the past two years, and the prices that have been 
realized, are starting the wheels of general industry in all 
directions, so that it is not unreasonable to expect that 
the next five years of our country’s history will be as 
gloriously prosperous as the past five have been dis¬ 
couraging and disastrous. 
W HILE we do 
not wish to 
appear egotistical, 
yet in justice to 
ourselves and our seeds, and for the benefit of people who have never dealt 
with us, we claim to be the producers and distributers of the BEST SEEDS 
IN THE WORLD —it is our business and our profession ; and we wish 
to say, from a business point of view, we know that planters of seeds buy 
them entirely on confidence; we realize that to lose a man’s confidence is 
to lose his patronage. If you have never used our seeds, TRY THEM 
THIS YEAR, and we will try and retain your confidence, as we have 
succeeded in doing with annually increasing thousands for over half a 
century, and we promise you all that under our new system of ONLY 
SUPPLYING OUR SEEDS TO THE PLANTER DIRECT, with the 
dealers’ trade and its blighting effect eliminated, we shall spare no expense 
or trouble to make our seeds even better than ever.
