HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR RECLEANED 
Grass and Clover Seeds 
ALL ARE OF CHOICEST QJJALITY, 
NEW CROP SEEDS OF HIGH GERMINATION, 
FREE FROM WEED SEEDS, 
having been recleaned by our up-to-date machinery. Con¬ 
sidering this superior grade, and the unusually short crop of 
many seeds — especially of Clovers, our prices will be found very 
low. Prices subject to variation without notice . 
VLFALFA, or LUCERNE. (Medico go 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 roots 8 to 12 feet deep. It needs one season to become 
established, after which it yields enormous crops annually for many years. Two to six 
cuttings per season, aggregating three to eight tons cured hay per acre, arc 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 Northeastern States during June, July or August, 30 to 
40 lbs. of seed per acre if broadcasted, or 25 to 30 lbs. if drilled; the latter is advisable 
so that cultivation may be given; in the South sow in February or September. 
Price, 28c. lb.; $15.50 bush, of 60 lbs.; $24.00, 100 lbs. 
Alfred, N. Y., Sept. 20, 1910. 
I am sending you a photo of my Alfalfa field, which has been growing five years last May and this is the 
twelfth cutting, yielding something over two tons per acre. I now have a fine field, with the third crop showing 
an even stand from eighteen to twenty inches high Jiearly ready to cjit which proves conclusively that Alfalfa can be 
grown on hard pan hill land if rightly managed. You are at liberty to print this in your spring Catalogue.”

HENDERSON’S Q£gKf 0 ) CLOVER SEEDS 
ALFALFA, or LUCERNE. (Medicago Sativa.) Described at top of page.. 
ALSIKE, or HYBRID CLOVER. (Trifolium Hybridum.) Equal in nutritive value to the Red or Pea Vine Clover, and excellent 
for^and that is “Clover-sick”..... 
Bokhara Clover. ( Melilotns 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.) .. . • ..

badly infested with weed seeds. 
CRIMSON or SCARLET CLOVER. (Trifolium Incarnatum.) An annual of strong, erect growth, 1 to 2 feet high; important 
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 of great value, being 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.) Should be used in all mixtures for permanent pasture and for lawns.
