The difference between seeds — Prof. William P. Erooks, of the Hatch Experiment Station, Amherst, Mass., writes us: "After careful examination of samples 

 from various sources and comparison of purity, germination and price, I have decided on ordering of you the greater proportion of grass seed, etc., needed here." 



Henderson's Superior Recleaned Grass Seeds

Henderson's Superior Recleaned Glover Seeds 



ALFALFA, or LUCERNE. (Medicago sativa.) Described at bottom of page 



ALSIKE, or HYBRID CLOVER. (Trifolium hybridum.) Equal in nutritive value to the Red or Pea Vine Clover, and 

 excellent for land that is "Clover-sick" 



Bokhara Clover. (Melilotus alba.) A strong-growing perennial of value for green-manuring, especially South, also largely 

 grown for the excellent food it affords throughout its season for bees

CRIMSON or SCARLET CLOVER. ( Trifolium incarnalum.) An annual of strong, erect growth, 1 to 2 feet high; import- 

 ant as a supplementary fall-sown crop for hay, forage or silage, yielding 8 to 15 tons of green, or 2 to 3 tons of cured 

 forage per acre; very nutritious and rich in protein. As a winter cover or soiling crop it is a great soil enricher, adding 

 humus and nitrogen. Sow in the fall at the rate of 12 to 15 lbs. of seed per acre, either broadcast or drilled in. 



WHITE CLOVER. ( Trifolium repens.) Used in mixtures for permanent pasture and lawns. Crop almost a failure here 

 and in Europe; very scarce

Henderson's Northern Grown Alfalfa Seed 



ALFALFA, or LUCERNE. (Medicago saliva.) A Clover-like leguminous plant of great importance 

 as a hay and forage crop, nutritious and rich in protein elements. It grows 2 to 5 feet high and sends 

 roots 5, 10, 20, and sometimes 30 feet into the subsoil. It needs one season to become established, 

 after which it yields enormous crops annually for many years. 3 or 4 cuttings per season, aggregating 

 4 to 6 tons cured hay per acre, are harvested, according to conditions and locality. It does well on 

 all good rich soils (except heavy clay), if well drained, or overlying a permeable subsoil; on calcareous 

 soil it thrives especially well. Sow in the Northern States during June, July or August, 30 to 40 lbs. 

 of seed per acre if broadcasted, or 25 to 30 lbs. if drilled. In the South sow in February or September. 

 Price, 30c. lb.; $15.75 bushel of 60 lbs.; $25.00, 100 lbs.
