HENDERSON'S TESTED FARM SEEDS 



HENDERSON'S 

 Superior Re-Cleaned Grass Seeds 



All Our Grass and Clover Seeds are Choicest Quality New 

 Crop Seeds of the Highest Germinating Power: Thoroughly 

 Cleaned by the Most Improved Seed-Cleaning Machinery 



We offer choice, re-cleaned seeds of imported and native grasses suited to the widely varied climatic 

 conditions of this continent. 



While the various mixtures of grasses made up by us, and fully described and illustrated on pages 2 

 and 3, cover the general needs of the American farmer for permanent pasture, and permanent hay, yet 

 sometimes conditions are such, that it is necessary to grow some special grass, or combination of grasses 

 to meet them. For instance, in sections where the rainfall is very light, or in hot Southern climates it is 

 advisable to grow such drought-resisting grasses as Awnless Brome Grass first introduced into this country 

 in 1889 by us; or Sudan Grass and Bermuda Grass which succeed admirably in such latitudes. 



Then again, there are special soil conditions which have to be met by prescribing suitable combinations 

 of grasses. We are prepared at all times to make up special mixtures for such particular purposes; and all 

 correspondence relating to such matters will receive our prompt attention. Customers writing us should 

 send a description of soil and climate, and the purpose for which the crop is to be grown, and if it is intended 

 to be sown with a grain crop or alone. We are always glad to give our farmer friends the benefit of our 

 long and varied experience in all matters relating to agriculture. Special quotations for large quantities.
