In an attempt to save the business in 1951, it merged with the Stumpp & Walter Company of Morristown, NJ, a seed firm known for sales to golf clubs and retail stores. The company closed in 1953; however, the work and legacy of Henderson remains. According to Robert F. Becker of The American Horticulturist, "Henderson was an extraordinary teacher, leader, and guide, who helped pave the way for horticulture to emerge as a true science and to keep pace with the age of modern technology" (28). He established a nationwide reputation for ornamental gardening and seed catalogs that was unprecedented for its time.
