HENDERSON'S 

 SUPERIOR 



SPRING SEED WHEAT 



IS GROWN FROM 

 PEDIGREED STRAINS 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEED WHEAT is not only grown especially for seed purposes from choicest selected cross-bred and pedigree 

 strains, but it is all recleaned at oui- warehouses (750,000 bushels capacity), which are equipped with the most modern seed-cleaning machinery in 

 America. This enables us to supply direct to the farmer plump and heavy seed, of undoubted superiority, at lowest possible prices, where ciuality 

 is considered. Often through pressure of other work, the seeding of Winter Wheat is neglected until too late and is either not sown at all or results 

 in failure. With the two varieties of Spring Wheat here offered, this difficulty can be overcome by Spring sowing. They are the best of the 

 Spring Wheats, yield well, and the milling quality of the grain surpasses even the best of the Winter varieties. Spring Wheat is also a satisfactory 

 crop to sow along ■with Grass seed. 



The prices herein named are those ruling at this date (February, 1917) for the crop of 1916 but they are subject to market fluctuations. Delivery 



f. o. b. New York, bags extra. Special quotations to large buyers.

 remarkably free from rust, is very productive, has a hard kernel and 

 there is a total absence of beard. Its milhng qualities are of the best.
