2 HENDERSON’S TESTED FARM SEEDS 
HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 
VVINTER SEED WHEAT 
GROWN FROM PEDIGREE STRAINS 
It costs almost as much to lay down an acre of Wheat that yields only 15 bushels per acre as one that will yield from 35 to 50 bushels. 
The first scarcely returns the cost of the investment while the latter yields a handsome profit. 
In order to attain such results, sow 
Henderson’s Superior Seed Wheat, which is grown especially for seed purposes, from cross-bred, select pedigree strains of undoubted 
superiority. 
On pages 2, 3 and 4 we offer selected recleaned seed Wheat from our crop of 1916, which is now ready for delivery. 
The prices at which the different varieties are offered are those ruling August, 1916, but they are subject to the fluctuations of the

ah 
This grand new Wheat has become a standard “rough and ready” 
variety, being equally at home on all soils, thriving on light, sandy, 
gravelly, clay loam or river bottom lands, and it is as nearly fly 
proof as it is possible fora Wheat to be. It is a strong, healthy 
grower, with dark, wide foliage, starting into growth among the 
earliestin spring. Straw medium tall, very stocky and thick walled; 
heads square and compactly set from base to tip; kernels short but 
very large and plump; cclor medium dark red and of good milling 
quality. St. Louis Grand Prize Wheat has made a good record

ST. LOUIS GRAND PRIZE BREAKS ALL RECORDS 
“I had wonderful success with your Sl. Louis Grand Prize Wheat. The seed 
was sown late Oct. 15th and the yield was 5114 bushels of extra fine grain per acre, 
thus breaking all wheat records in South Missouri.” F. S. WHITE, 
Editor of The Ozark Countryman, Springfield, Mo. 
Jones Red Wave (Beardless) 
After several years’ trial this grand Wheat has fully maintained 
the good opinion expressed when first sent out. Customers in all 
winter Wheat growing sections know that the Jones’ Wheats where- 
ever sown have made a good record, and will be pleased to hear of 
this fine Bald Red variety. It isa cross between early Red Clawson 
and an unnamed crossbreed of Russian parentage. All progressive 
farmers should give this scrt a trial, as seed of this is now in great 
demand, and those who are fortunate enough to have a field in 1915, 
will find it tc be a profitable investment. It is a bald Brown-chaff, 
dark, medium long, large grain; heads very long and bread, filled 
with medium, long, large, hard, dark kernels, richin gluten. Straw, 
golden; above medium height, stocky, very strong, thick walled 
and not liable to go down; heads slightly leaning, hence not liable 
to sprout in the field. This variety gave a yield of 49 bushels and zi 
2 pounds per acre in a field, the balance of which was sown to 
Dawson Golden Chaff that produced only 27 bushels per acre. A 
plot on trial grounds 114 by 2 rods. square produced at the rate of 
68 bushels and 5 pounds per acre. 
Price, $2.75 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.65 per bushel.
