Henderson's Superior Recleaned Grasses 



For Pasture, Hay, Turf on Golf Courses, Athletic Fields, etc., etc. 



Cleaned at the source of production, and recleaned in our own warehouses with the most modern seed-cleaning machinery 

 in America. They are then analyzed and tested by us, and verified by check tests at State and Government Stations. 



Henderson's Individual Recleaned Grasses are therefore Unequaled for Purity and Germination. 



Better turf is obtained in most cases if a mixture of grass seed is sown. We will be glad to make special mixtures when 

 desired, in accordance with the purchaser's requirements or after his own formulas. Transportation Charges Paid. 



Awnless Brome Grass (Bromus Inermis). Will produce heavy 

 crops in dry sections and on poor soils when other grasses perish.

 perature. Price, lb.. 55c; 10 lbs., $5.00: 25 lbs., $11.25. 100 lbs., $40.00.

 rhizomes. It gives a dense, reinforced sod of a pleasing green color 

 and a fine texture. Very desirable for putting greens and lawns. 

 Price, lb., $1.50; 10 lbs.. $14.00; 25 lbs.. $32.50. 100 lbs., $125.00.

 row and flat; dark green; slightly creeping habit and makes a fine turf 

 for putting greens. It succeeds on all well drained soils and will 

 thrive on acid soils. Price, lb., $1.50; 10 lbs.. $14.00; 25 lbs.. $32.50. 



Bent, Creeping (Agrostis Species or South German Mixed Bent). 

 This is undoubtedly one of the finest grasses for putting greens.

 withstands hard usage. Does well on all soils, particularly on light, 

 moist land. Price, lb.. $1.75; 10 lbs.. $17.00; 25 lbs., $40.00.

 tinguished from Red Top by its dwarf habit, shorter and narrow 

 leaves and its peculiar open panicle, which does not become closed 

 when mature. Thrives well on acid soils. Rhode Island Bent pro- 

 duces only short stolons or runners; makes a very fine dark green 

 turf. An excellent grass for putting greens. Price, lb., $1.50;

 is very desirable for putting greens. Does well in moist situations, 

 making a rapid growth; blades are almost as narrow as true creeping 

 bent. It is a vigorous stoloniferous creeper and the only bent that 

 compares favorably with Creeping or Velvet Bents. Price, lb., $1.50; 

 10 lbs., $14.00; 25 lbs., $32.50. 100 lbs., $125.00. 



Bermuda Grass (Cynodon Daclylon). A most valuable grass for 

 the southern course. It is of dwarf habit with long creeping stems,

 dense tufts 3 to 6 inches in diameter with wire-like leaves 2 to 4 inches

 soils for Fairways, when mixed with other grasses, as it helps to make 

 a durable sward. Sown alone, it is too bunchy. For the "rough" 

 on sandv soil, it is excellent. Price, lb., 65c; 10 lbs., $6.00;
