THE CONTRAST BETWEEN 

 ALFALFA SEED AS USUALLY SOLD 



AND HENDERSON'S 

 NOKTHEKN GKOWN ALFALFA 



Henderson's 



Tested Farm Seeds 



are grown only from selected strains representing in some instances the patient work of 40 

 years. Valuable results in seed-breeding and seed-selection, are only attained after years 

 of painstaking endeavor. For instance those valuable varieties of Seed Corn, Henderson's 

 Eureka Yellow Dent, Long's Champion Yellow Dent, and Wood's Early Northern White Dent, 

 are the fruits of years of supervision and selection in order to fix their respective types. 



Before offering these seeds to our customers for sale they are 

 thoroughly recleaned by the most modern seed-cleaning machinery in 

 America. These are not ordinary fanning mills, but machines with an 

 even and strong air suction — equal at all points — which is quite a 

 different thing from a blast. By this process we are enabled to sepa- 

 rate the sound, perfect seeds from all rubbish and light, imperfect seeds. 



Our seed storehouses in Jersey City have a capacity of 750,000 

 bushels, and are now filled with seeds of the choicest quality, and the 



highest germinative power. We test our seeds, both in our testing 

 houses, and also in "mother earth" the natural way, at our Trial 

 < (rounds at Arlington Ave., Jersey City, and Hackensack, N. J. 



Furthermore we have these tests checked by sending samples to the 

 leading seed-testing stations in the United States and in Europe. By 

 this means we secure nothing but the best, and we therefore invite you 

 with confidence to send us your orders, and plan in good time for the 

 season's supply.
