AN 

 INVESTMENT 



of a few dollars in the pur^ 

 chase of a good magnifying 

 glass, would disclose the fact 

 that Farm Seeds offered for 

 sale at a low figure are unclean, 

 mixed and full of impurities 



HENDERSON'S TESTED EARH SEEDS 



are rec leaned at our ware' 

 houses, Garfield Avenue, Jersey 

 City, N.J., by the most efficient 

 seed ' cleaning machines ever 

 invented. Samples are then 

 tested at our greenhouses, 

 Arlington Avenue, Jersey City, 

 N. J., and later much larger 

 samples are grown in "Mother 

 Earth" for a final test at 

 our trial grounds, Hudson 

 Boulevard, Jersey City, N. J. 



THE PRECAUTIONS WE TAKE, AND THE CARE WE EXERCISE, IS REFLECTED BACK AGAIN 

 IN THE FOLLOWING UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS : 



"I wish to express to you my appreciation of your kindness in advising the 

 kind of ensilage to sow for best results^ a problem^ considering the late season oc- 

 casioned by wet weather. 



"I had put up an expensive silo 12x36 feet and up to the first of July there did 

 not seem to be any prospect of getting any corn into the ground. I plowed all of 

 our sowed ground twice and some of it three times. Upon your advice I sowed 

 one bushel of Southern Horse Tooth Ensilage Corn on July 12th. It hardly made 

 any stand for the first four weeks, but I cut it September 14th and had a considerable 

 number of stalks upwards of 12 feet tall and four inches in circumference. It was 

 the pride of our neighborhood, and being on a State road where there is a large 

 amount of travel created a most favorable impression upon those who watched its 

 growth. 



" We have dealt with you more or less for upwards of twenty years, and I must 

 thank you for your many courtesies to us during that period." 



Western N. Y. Society for the Protection of Homeless Children, 

 Sept. 23, 1916. CHAS. MERRILL, Sec, Randolph, N. Y. 



" At the suggestion of our mutual friend, Mr. Enrique Eraso Navarrete, I am 

 addressing you with reference to pasture seeds as those you sent to him have giveji 

 very good results." 

 Jan. 18, 1916. SALOMON HURTADO, Pasto, Colombia. 



"/ bought Long^s Champion Dent Corn and some other variety, the name of 

 which I forget, from you I think in 1910 and seed from these varieties made a more 

 satisfactory ensilage and husking corn than anything I have had since failing to 

 save seed two years ago. '* 

 Feb. 10, 1916. I. R. COMFORT, West Chester, Pa. 



" The picture enclosed represents the fourth cutting of Henderson's Recleaned 

 Alfalfa when taken, totalling 11 ft. for the year. For three years the growth equalled 

 and even exceeded that shown in this picture." — S. FRANCISCO, Fairfield, Sf.J. 



" As regards grass seed shipped to me last year I must say it turned out splendidly 

 and is now a good heavy mat of grass. All you say of it is perfectly right. 



^* All seeds which I received at any time from you have always been the admiration 

 of everyone for their good crop. " 

 Feb. 9, 1916. H. M. K. WHITEWAY, St. Johns, Newfoundland. 



" You may be interested to know that I saved 414 tons barn cured Alfalfa hay 

 per acre the first season, second season only 1)4, to 1}/^ tons account of protracted 

 drought — last year 4 tons per acre. Would have saved 6 tons had we not suffered 

 a long spring drought which made first cutting very light." 

 Feb. 10, 1916. EDWIN EARLE, Esmont, Va. 



" The Clydesdale Oats are fine and from present prospects wiV be off the land 

 in the latter part of June." 

 May -29, 1916. Mrs. JOHN HOUGHTON, Hamilton, Mo. 



"I received the White Tartar Oats and am much pleased with them." 

 April 5, 1916. D. MALONE, Shiloh, 0. 



"I had three bushels of Long's Champion Yellow Deut Corn last year and I 

 filled two silos, 8x10, 30 ft. high, from six acres." 

 April 20, 1915. THEO. F. GEDSON, Columbia Sta., Ohio. 



"I desire at this time to express my satisfaction with your selected Alfalfa seed. 

 I ordered SO lbs. from you last summer and when it arrived I saw that it was im- 

 mensely superior to some that I bought of a local dealer that I would not even plant 

 the latter. 



" My faith in your seed was amply justified, as I procured a perfect stand, 

 free from weeds, fodder, etc. I have already made three cuttings this year, and 

 expect to make two more before the season is over. I shall gather in over five tons 

 of perfect hay." 

 July 22, 1915. S. J. McCALLIE, Chattanooga, Tenn. 



'^I do not remember of having told you of the wonderful success I had with the 

 St. Louis Grand Prize Wheat, seed of which I purchased from you two years ago. 

 The seed was sown late, October loth, and the yield was 51]4, bushels of extra fine 

 grain per acre, this breaking all wheat records ever made in South Missouri. Our 

 crop this year from same seed thrashed 45 bushels per acre." 

 July 27, 1915. F. S. WHITE, Springfield, Mo. 



" We sowed the Marquis Spring Wheat which we purchased from you last year, 

 rather late in May. This wheat was sown on good clay loam and did not receive 

 any special attention, except that the ground was put in good state of cultivation 

 at seeding time. The field of forty acres yielded 49}^ bushels per acre of good 

 plump grain, when it was thoroughly dry." 

 Jan. 27, 1915. C. E. HAMILTON, Mgr. Heart's Delight Farm, Chazy, N. Y. 



"7 raised 1183 bushels of Clydesdale Oats this year on 18 acres. They are a 

 very fine quality, plump oat. I purchased 3 bushels of imported Clydesdale from 

 you three years ago, and this is the result. It has been highly satisfactory. The 

 straw on this crop of oats would average more than four feet high and did not lodge 

 to amount to anythijig although we had many heavy storms in this section and 

 many other oats lodged heavily." 

 Sept. 14, 1916. M. W. HICKS, Granville. N. Y. 



"The Long White Tartar Oats I got from you last year were great. I have 

 used your Tartar Oats always with good results, but I have always wanted to try 

 Clydesdales. The fact is I have never had an unsatisfactory crop of any kind on 

 my farm when I used Henderson's seeds." 

 Feb. 22, 1915. A. B. HARWOOD, Baldwinsville, Mass. 



"Last February I obtained from you 30 bushels of Long's White Tartar Oats. 

 The results were very satisfactory. I am thinking of planting the same this season. 

 Please quote me price on 50 bushels." 

 Jan. 21, 1915. J. HEMSLEY JOHNSON, Baltimore, Md. 



" This season I took off the first crop of your Permanent Hay and considering the 

 dry season we have had I am well satisfied." 

 July 28, 1915. LEO. J. RYAN, Saugerlies, N. Y.
