The vital point is, What will they produce? This is a matter that is 
too seldom taken into consideration by the average buyer, many of whom are more 
interested in hunting for the lowest in price, while progressive farmers and gardeners 
appreciate that ‘‘ blood will tell’’ in seeds as well as in animals, and realizing that 
their profits for a whole year depend upon the seeds they plant, they avoid ‘‘cheap’’ seeds as being poor economy, knowing 
that superior seeds produce superior and more profitable crops. 
While we do not wish to appear egotistical, yet in justice to ourselves and our seeds, and for the benefit of people who 
have never dealt with us, we claim to be the producers and distributers of the best seeds in the world— it is our business 
and our profession. We know that planters of seeds buy them entirely on confidence; we realize that to lose a man’s con- 
fidence is to lose his patronage. If you have never used our seeds, try them this year, and we will try and retain your 
confidence, as we have succeeded in doing with annually-increasing thousands for over half a century. 
Henderson’s Superior ip Renesas S Superior Grass, Clover, Cereal and other Farm Seed: 
(which we supply only direct to the planter) are not only of the best pedigree 
Farm Seeds strains, but are of high germination and of choicest, recleaned quality. Our ware- 
houses (250,000 bushels capacity), being especially equipped with the most modern seed- 
fire Grown from Pedigree Strains cleaning machinery, enable us to supply direct to the farmer. Recleaned Grass and 
other seeds of undoubted superiority at lowest possible prices when quality is consid- 
ered. We are to-day the largest direct suppliers of recleaned grass seeds to the farmer in America, and, if at times lower 
prices are quoted, depend upon it that it is at the sacrifice of quality, for we are so equipped that no responsible mer- 
chant can undersell us for the same qualities. We would warn our customers that the markets are at the present 
time flooded with much inferior, and, in many cases, absolutely worthless, grass and clover seeds, much of which has been 
purposely adulterated and is sold to the unsuspecting farmer by country merchants who do not have the expert knowledge 
to detect the adulteration, and upon whom it has been foisted by unscrupulous dealers. 
T, e HE difference between ‘‘seeds’’ and ‘‘HENDERSON’S SUPERIOR 
he difference SEEDS”’ is exemplified by the Government’s Pure Seed Investigation and 
between “Seeds”? and the Agricultural Experiment Station reports: 
‘*Prof. T. J. HICKMAN, of the OHIO AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION, 
states in the Ohio Farmer that samples of Henderson’s Clydesdale Oats and Clydes- 
dale Oats procured from other sources have shown, in a series of experiments, in favor 
of Henderson’s Clydesdale, which yielded nine bushels per acre more than the average of the other samples.’’ 
‘““Henderson’s Sample of Alfalfa, I am glad to say, Prof. WILLIAM P. BROOKS, of the HATCH EXPERIMENT 
stood at the head of twelve other samples sent by me to the | STATION, AMHERST, Mass.—‘‘After careful examination 
Government for analysis. Kindly ship to me at Wilcox Wharf, | of samples from various sources and comparison of purity,

We no longer supply through dealers,

By only supplying the planter direct we 
protect many customers who have had

“Henderson’s.’ CHAS. HENDERSON, President. 35 & 37 CORTLANDT ST., NEW YORK.
