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 purchaser’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 lbs. per acre) in spring or 
early summer. 
Price, lb. 55c.; 10 lbs. $5.00; 25 Ibs. $11.25; 100 Ibs. $40.00. 
(Bromus Inermis) 
BENT, ASTORIA (Agrostis Capillaris) 
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. $1.50; 10 Ibs. $14.00; 25 lbs. $32.50; 100 Ibs. $125.00. 
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. $1.50; 10 Ibs. $14.00; 25 Ibs. $32.50; 100 lbs. $125.00. 
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, Ib. $1.75; 10 lbs. $17.00; 25 lbs. $40.00. 
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. Itis a vigorous stoloni- 
ferous creeper and the only bent that compares favorably with Creeping 
or Velvet Bents. 
Price, Ib. $1.50; 10 lbs. $14.00; 25 lbs. $32.50; 100 lbs. $125.00. 
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, Ib. $1.50; 10 lbs. $14.00; 25 Ibs. $32.50; 100 Ibs. $125.00. 
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. 
(Cynodon Dactylon) 
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. $5.50; 25 lbs. $13.00; 100 lbs. $50.00. 
We will be glad to make special mixtures when 
Transportation Charges Paid. 
BLUE, ANNUAL (Poa Annua) 
A dwarf growing variety that spreads rapidly by depositing its own seeds 
particularly during the early spring. 
Price, lb. 90c.; 10 lbs. $7.50. 
BLUE, KENTUCKY 
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. 55c.; 10 lbs. $5.00; 25 Ibs. $11.25; 100 Ibs. $40.00. 
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. 75c.; 10 Ibs. $7.00; 50 lbs. $33.00; 100 lbs. $60.00. 
CRESTED DOGSTAIL 
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 Ibs. $7.50; 25 lbs. $17.50. 
FESCUE, CHEWINGS NEW ZEALAND 
(Festuca Chewings) 
Adapted for pastures and resists extreme drought, thrives on inferior 
soils, gravelly banks and exposed hills. Its large production of fine root 
leaves makes it a good bottom grass. Sow (if alone) 50 Ibs. per acre. 
Price, lb. 90c.; 10 Ibs. $8.00; 25 lbs. $18.75; 100 lbs. $70.00. 
FESCUE, FINE-LEAVED SHEEP’S 
(Festuca ovina tenutfolia) 
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 Ibs. $28.75; 100 lbs. $100.00. 
FESCUE, HARD 
A dwarf-growing, very hardy grass of great value, for permanent pastures. 
In hay its presence indicates superior quality, and after being mown it 
produces a very large quantity of food. It comes early, stands long 
droughts well; stock eat it with avidity, especially sheep. Sow (if alone) 
50 lbs. per acre. 
Price, lb. 80c.; 10 Ibs. $7.50; 25 Ibs. $17.50; 100 lbs. $65.00. 
FESCUE, MEADOW ‘Festuca pratensis) 
Very 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 Ibs. $30.00. 
FESCUE, RED 
Particularly adapted for dry pastures by the seaside and on louse, light 
soils, the slopes of railroad cuts, etc., if dry. It yields an average bulk 
of herbage of fair quality, although most nutritious at the time of flowering. 
Sow (if alone) 50 Ibs. per acre. 
Price, lb. 90c.; 10 Ibs. $8.00; 25 lbs. $18.75; 100 lbs. $70.00. 
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 Ibs. $12.50; 25 Ibs. $28.75; 100 lbs. $100.00.
