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. 
desired in accordance with the purchasér’s requirements or after his own formulas. 
AWNLESS BROME 
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 Ibs. per acre) in spring or 
early summer. : 
Price, lb. 50c.; 10 lbs. $4.50; 25 lbs. $10.00; 100 lbs. $35.00. 
(Bromus Inermis) 
BENT ASTORIA 
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. $12.00; 25 lbs. $28.75; 100 lbs. $100.00. 
(Agrostis Capillaris) 
BENT COLONIAL 
Waipa Brown of New Zealand, forms a brownish green turf. 
well on acid soils. Sow 50 lbs. per acre. 
Price, lb. $1.25; 10 lbs. $12.00; 25 lbs. $28.75. 
(Agrostis tenuis) 
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, 1b. $1.50; 10 lbs. $14.00; 25 lbs. $32.50. 
BENT SEASIDE 
This was first identified in Oregon, and has been offered by others under 
@ 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. $1.25; 10 lbs. $12.00; 25 lbs. $28.75; 100 lbs. $100.00. 
(Agrostis Maritima) 
We will be glad to make special mixtures when 
Transportation Charges Paid. 
BENT RHODE ISLAND 
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. $1.25; 10 lbs. $12.00; 25 lbs. $28.75; 100 lbs. $100.00. 
BERMUDA 
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. 70c.; 10 lbs. $6.00; 25 lbs. $14.00; 100 lbs. $55.00. 
(Agrostis tenuis) 
(Cynodon Dactylon) 
BLUE CANADA 
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 Ibs. per acre. 
Price, lb. 60c.; 10 lbs. $5.50; 25 lbs. $13.00; 100 lbs. $50.00. 
(Poa Compressa) 
BLUE ANNUAL 
A dwarf growing variety that spreads rapidly by depositing its own 
seeds particularly during the early spring. 
Price, lb. 75c.; 10 lbs. $6.00. 
(Poa Annua) 
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. $13.00; 
100 lbs. $50.00.
