EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Grass Seeds 



Henderson's Superior Recleaned Grasses 



For Turf on Golf Courses, Athletic Fields, Etc. 



Cleaned at the source of production, and recleaned in our 

 own warehouses with the most modern seed-cleaning ma- 

 chinery 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 

 TJnequaled for Purity and Germination. 



Better turf is obtained in most cases if a mixture of grass 

 seed is sown. We are pleased to make special mixtures 

 when desired in accordance with the purchaser's require- 

 ments or after his own formulas.
