 The difference between seeds — Prof. William P. Brooks, 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 



AWNLESS BROME GRASS. (Bromus inermis.) Will produce heavy crops in dry sections and on poor soils, where other 



Grasses perish. It is one of the hardiest Grasses and succeeds in a wide range of temperature 



BERMUDA GRASS. (Cynodon daclylon.) Of great value in the Southern States, but does not thrive north of Virginia. . 



Canada Blue Grass. (Poa compressa.) Useful for sowing on hard clay and poor soils 



Chewings New Zealand Fescue. (Fesluca Chewings.) Tnis grass is specially recommended for golf putting greens and 



lawns. Succeeds on all soils

HUNGARIAN GRASS. (Panicum germanicum.) Is a valuable annual forage plant. 1 bushel to the acre 



ITALIAN RYE GRASS. (Lolium italicum.) Thrives in almost any soil, and yields early and abundant crops. Sown in the

Johnson Grass. (Sorghum (or Andropogon) halepensis.) Valuable meadow or hay Grass for the South; withstands drought 

 KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. (Poa pralensis.) Fancy or double extra clean. Though offered at the standard weight of 14 



lbs. per bushel, the natural weight of this fancy seed is 21 to 25 lbs. per measured bushel 



MEADOW FESCUE. (Fesluca pralensis.) Of great value in mixtures for permanent pasture 



MEADOW FOXTAIL. ( Alopecurus pralensis.) One of the best Grasses for permanent pasture; early and of rapid growth 

 ORCHARD GRASS. (Daclylis glomerala.) One of the moat valuable Grasses; in mixtures, either for pasture or hay. .

Various-leaved Fescue. (Fesluca heterophylla.) Valuable for permanent pasture, and desirable in lawn mixtures 



Wood Meadow Grass. (Poa nemoralis.) Of early growth and thriving well under trees 



Henderson's Superior Recleaned Glover Seeds 



ALFALFA, or LUCERNE. (Medicago saliva.) 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 



Japan Clover. (Lespedeza striata.) A low-spreading perennial, much like White Clover, of great value in the Southern 



States for forage and green-manuring 



Mammoth Red, or Pea-vine Clover. (Trifolium pratense perenne.) Valuable for reclaiming exhausted lands 



RED CLOVER, Medium. (Trifolium pratense.) Our seed is of high germination, pure and free from weed seeds, 



Every care should be exercised in buying Red Clover, for there is on the market, at a cheap price, large quantities badly infested 

 with weed seeds 



CRIMSON or SCARLET CLOVER. (Trifolium incarnatum.) 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 satira.) 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, 35c. lb.; $18.75 bushel of 60 lbs.; $30.00, 100 lbs.
