From PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR RECLEANED GRASSES 



BENT, COLONIAL (Agrostis tenuis) 



This grass imported from New Zealand, is identical with Rhode Island 

 Bent. Leaf-blades very narrow and flat ; dark green ; slightly creeping habit 

 and makes a fine turf for Putting Greens. It succeeds on all well drained soils 

 and unlike some other grasses it thrives on acid soils. 



Price, lb. $1.25; 10 lbs. $10.00; 25 lbs. $24.00; 100 lbs. $90.00. 



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. $22.50; 25 lbs. $50.00; 100 lbs. $175.00. 



BENT, SEASIDE (.Agrostis Marilima) 



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. $1.30; 10 lbs. $12.50; 25 lbs. $28.75; 100 lbs. $100.00. 



BENT, RHODE ISLAND (Agrostis tenuis) 



Distinguished from Red Top by its dwarfer habit, shorter and nar- 

 row leaves and its peculiar open panicle which does not become closed 

 when mature. Thrives well on acid soils. Produces only short stolons or 

 runners ; makes a very fine dark green turf. An excellent grass for Putting 

 Greens. Sow (if alone) 50 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. $1.25; 10 lbs. $10.00; 25 lbs. $24.00; 100 lbs. $90.00. 



BENT, VELVET {Agrostis Canina) 



This is one of the finest type of Dwarf Grasses used for Putting Greens 

 and Lawns. It is of light green color and does well on acid soils and in 

 the shade. 



Price, lb. $5.00; 10 lbs. $45.00. 



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. 55c; 10 lbs. $5.00; 25 lbs. $11.25; 100 lbs. $40.00. 



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. 65c; 10 lbs. $6.00; 25 lbs. $13.75; 100 lbs. $50.00. 



BLUE, ANNUAL (Poa Annua) 



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. 55c; 10 lbs. $5.00; 25 lbs. $11.25; 100 lbs. $40.00. 



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. $1.25; 10 lbs. $10.00; 25 lbs. $24.00; 100 lbs. $90.00. 



A dwarf growing variety that spreads rapidly by depositing its own seeds 

 particularly during the early spring. 



Price, lb. $1.00; 10 lbs. $8.00. 



BLUE, KENTUCKY (Poa pratnA) 



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 luxuriantly, 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. Sow (if alone) 50 lbs. per acre. We keep noth- 

 ing 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. 



CARPET GRASS 



This type of grass is used only in the South as it will not thrive where 

 the temperature goes lower than 15 degrees. Very valuable for pasture and 

 does well on poor sandy soil. It spreads rapidly and will make favor- 

 able hay and has high feeding quality. 



Sow 15 lbs. per acre, broadcasted. 



Price, lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.50; 25 lbs. $12.50; 100 lbs. $45.00. 



CRESTED DOGSTAIL (Cynosurus cristatus) 



A fine, short grass, that should enter into all permanent pasture mix- 

 tures, especially for dry, hard soils and hills pastured with sheep. Sheep 

 fed in pastures where this abounds are less subject to foot rot. Sow (if 

 alone) 30 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 80c; 10 lbs. $7.50; 25 lbs. $17.50; 100 lbs. $60.00. 



FESCUE, CHEWINGS NEW ZEALAND 



(Fesluca Chewings) 



Adapted for pastures and resists extreme drought, thrives on inferioc 

 soils, gravelly banks and exposed hills. Its large production of fine root 

 leaves makes it a good bottom grass. Sow (if alone) 50 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 70c; 10 lbs. $6.50; 25 lbs. $15.00; 100 lbs. $55.00. 



FESCUE, FINE-LEAVED SHEEP'S 



(Festuca ovina lenuifolia) 



Cattle are very fond of it, and it grows naturally in many parts of the 

 world. It is very suitable for permanent pasture, especially on uplands 

 and dry soils. Its rich, dark green gives a fine appearance to hay, and 

 renders it also valuable for dry situations. Sow (if alone) 45 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. $1.50; 10 lbs. $12.50; 25 lbs. $28.75; 100 lbs. $100.00. 



FESCUE, MEADOW (Festuca pralensis) 



y ery valuable for permanent pastures, highly nutritious, makes excellent 

 hay and succeeds well in almost all soils, especially in moist land. It is 

 robust in habit and never grows in tufts, although it should be sown with 

 other grasses. It is one of the earliest grasses in the spring and one of 

 the latest in autumn, being particularly valuable for fall and winter pas- 

 tures. In the climate of Virginia it often remains green under the snow 

 through the winter, hence called "Evergreen Grass." Sow (if alone) 

 70 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 45c; 10 lbs. $4.00; 25 lbs. $8.50; 100 lbs. $30.00. 



FESCUE, CREEPING RED 



(Festuca rubra North German grown) 



This is the true creeping variety thriving well on poor soils, and especially 

 adapted for shaded locations. It forms a dense permanent turf which 

 leaves little room for weeds to come through. 



Price, lb. $1.50; 10 lbs. $12.50; 25 lbs. $28.75; 100 lbs. $100.00. 



We Pay Transportation Charges on All Grass Seeds.
