From PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR RECLEANED GRASSES 



Cleaned at the source of production, and recleaned in our own warehouses with the most modern seed-cleaning machinery 

 in America. They are then analyzed and tested by us, and verified by check tests at State and Government Stations. 



Henderson's Individual Recleaned Grasses are therefore Unequaled for Purity and Germination. 



Better turf is obtained in most cases if a mixture of grass seed is sown. We will be glad to make special mixtures when 

 desired in accordance with the purchaser's requirements or after his own formulas. Transportation Charges Paid. 



AWNLESS BROME (Bromus Inermis) 



This luxuriant, drought-resisting hardy perennial grass, introduced by 

 us in 1889, has proven to be a most important and valuable hay and pasture 

 grass, thriving under the trying conditions of the dry regions of the West 

 and Northwest. It is very hardy, living through winters where the tem- 

 perature falls many degrees below zero. It roots deeply, grows rapidly, 

 in good soils attaining a height of 4 feet, yielding up to 4 tons of cured hay 

 per acre. Sow the seed broadcast (20 to 25 lbs. per acre) in spring or 

 early summer. 



Price, lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.00; 25 lbs. $11.25. 



BENT ASTORIA (Agrostis Capillars) 



This variety differs from Rhode Island Bent in that it is an underground 

 creeper, usually by rhizomes. It gives a dense, reinforced sod of a pleasing 

 green color and a fine texture. 



Price, lb. $1.75; 10 lbs. $17.00; 25 lbs. $40.00. 



BENT COLONIAL (Agrostis tenuis) 



Waipa Brown of New Zealand, forms a brownish green turf, 

 well on acid soils. Sow 50 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. $2.00; 10 lbs. $17.00; 25 lbs. $40.00. 



Thrives 



BENT CREEPING (South German Mixed Bent or Agrostis Species) 



This grass is well adapted for moist situations, and valuable for affording 

 herbage in early spring and late autumn, before other grasses have com- 

 menced or have stopped growing and in consequence is advantageously 

 included in permanent pasture mixtures. Sow (if alone) 50 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. $2.50; 10 lbs. $24.00; 25 lbs. $57.50. 



BENT SEASIDE (Agrostis Maritima) 



This was first identified in Oregon, and has been offered by others under 

 a special trade name. It is a hardy creeping variety, forming a close 

 mat-like sward. Does well in moist situations, making a rapid growth; 

 blades are almost as narrow as true creeping bent. It is a vigorous stoloni- 

 ferous creeper and the only bent that compares favorably with Creeping 

 or Velvet Bents. 



Price, lb. $1.75; 10 lbs. $17.00; 25 lbs. $40.00. 



BENT RHODE ISLAND (Agrostis tenuis) 



Particularly valuable because it is one of the few varieties of grasses 

 that thrive in an acid soil. Produces short runners, makes a fine, dark 

 green turf. Sow (if alone) 50 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. $2.00; 10 lbs. $17.00; 25 lbs. $40.00. 



BERMUDA (Cynodon Dactylon) 



Adapted for the Southern States, as it withstands drought and the 

 scorching rays of the sun. This grass is noted for the peculiar habit of 

 its growth; the wiry roots of the grass in running over the surface of the 

 ground form a strong, fibrous matting. For that reason it is sown largely 

 for the purpose of binding banks of creeks and dams, etc. Bermuda Grass 

 seed should be sown in the spring, as it will not germinate until warm 

 weather comes. As a grass for hay or pasture, it matures and gives its 

 first cutting ordinarily in June. It is, however, pre-eminently a pasture 

 grass, does not succeed further north than Virginia. Sow 10 to 25 lbs 

 per acre. 



Price, lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.00; 25 lbs. $12.00; 100 lbs. $45.00. 



BLUE CANADA (Poa Compressa) 



A valuable grass for hard, dry soils. It grows on land so poor and thin 

 as to exclude the growth of other grasses. It is especially valuable for 

 dairy pastures. It is an exceedingly valuable pasture grass on dry, rocky 

 knolls and should form a portion of the mixed grasses for such soils. As 

 it shrinks very little in drying, it makes heavy hay in porportion to its 

 bulk. Sow (if alone) 60 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 70c; 10 lbs. $6.00; 25 lbs. $14.00; 100 lbs. $50.00. 



BLUE ANNUAL (Poa Annua) 



A dwarf growing variety that spreads rapidly by depositing its own 

 seeds particularly during the early spring. 



Price, lb. $1.00; 10 lbs. $8.50; 25 lbs. $20.00; 100 lbs. $75.00. 



BLUE KENTUCKY 



(Poa pratensis) 



Famous principally on account of its desirability 

 as a lawn grass variety, it is also popular as a 

 pasture grass, very productive, unusually early. 

 It furnishes delicious food for all kinds of stock 

 unless there should be a protracted drought, 

 which would cause it to slowly dry up until the 

 fall rains, when it springs forth and grows luxur- 

 iantly, furnishing pasturage until frozen. Although 

 slow to establish itself, Kentucky blue grass, once 

 a stand is had on land to which it is adapted, 

 lasts for many years, as the plants spread with 

 their underground roots and will improve year 

 to year, and rarely needs reseeding. A thick, 

 well set sod of Kentucky blue grass makes an 

 ideal pasture, and for all lands adapted to its 

 growth should be one of the principal constituents 

 of all pasture mixtures. Sow (if alone) 60 lbs. 

 per acre. We keep nothing but fancy reclaimed 

 seed, free from chaff, the natural weight of which 

 is 20 to 25 lbs. per measured bushel. 



Price, lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.50; 25 lbs. $12.50; 

 100 lbs. $45.00.
