HENDERSON'S FARMERS MANUAL 



FIELD CORN 



p* * 



HENDERSON'S SEED CORN is grown from pedigreed strains carefully selected 



in the field, consideration being given to the plant, as well as the ears, 



triteness to types, uniform maturity, and other essential points. 



HENDERSON'S DIAMOND JUBILEE 

 GOLDEN DENT CORN 



(See engraving on back cover) 



Matures in 110 Days. Small Cob. 70 Pounds of Ears 

 Produces 62 Pounds of Shelled Corn 



Offered for the first time in honor of our Diamond Jubilee, it is a cross between a leading Yellow Dent 

 and'a large-eared white variety, and is a wonderfully prolific yielder. 



The ears average ten to fourteen inches in length, are of a beautiful 

 golden-yellow color, and are produced low down on the stalk,! the 

 average distance being three and one-half feet from the base of the ear 

 to the ground. The cob is red, small, and firm, and covered with 

 eighteen to twenty-two rows of deep, heavy grain. Seventy pounds of 

 ears will, when dry, shell sixty to sixty-two pounds of Corn. The ears 

 are of surpassing uniformity, which accounts for tke extra good yield of 

 over one hundred bushels per acre when planted on fairly good Corn land. 



The stalks grow to a height of from twelve to fourteen feet, but are 

 not massive, although of good resisting quality, standing up well. The 

 foliage is luxuriant, the stalks being furnished to the bottom, making the 

 fodder of exceptional feeding value. 



It is from ten to fourteen days earlier than Long's Champion, conse- 

 quently can be planted further North, with every chance of fully 

 maturing, rather than that long season variety. 



We recommend planting it, if in hills, three and one-half feet apart 

 each way, allowing three plants to the hill. When planted in rows 

 allow the same distance between the drills and about sixteen inches 

 between the plants. 



As there is only a limited quantity of seed for sale, we would 

 advise early orders. Henderson's Diamond Jubilee cannot be 

 procured from other seedsmen or dealers. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 25c. qt.; SI. 35 neck; $4.50 per bush.; 10bush.,S4.40per bush. 



LONG'S CHAMPION 

 YELLOW DENT CORN 



On a Section of 90 Acres, It Has 



Yielded an Average of 133 Bushels 



of Shelled Corn Annually Over a 



Period of 15 Years 



Long's Champion Yellow Dent Corn is the climax 

 of 25 years of Corn breeding and selection by one of the 

 most successful farmers in the Pennsylvania Corn belt. 



Will mature in the latitude of New York if planted 

 during the first week of May. Early planting is essen- 

 tial, even though there may be some risk of injury by 

 the frost, which could be overcome on emergency by 

 replanting. This King of Corns is without doubt the 

 finest, the largest, and the most productive Yellow 

 Dent Corn ever produced, and will be found to be of 

 great value to the farmer, especially in the Corn belt 

 of the Middle and Eastern States, on 

 account of its immense yield, at least 

 25% and often 50% more than can be 

 obtained from the average old-type 

 Corns generally planted. 



The ears weigh 2 to 214 lbs. at crib- 

 bing time, and contain 20 to 24 uniform 

 rows of long, broad kernels. 



It is a luxuriant grower, about 12 to 

 15 feet high, and in Lebanon County, 

 Pa., has never failed to mature by 

 September 20th when planted the first 

 week of May. (See engraving onback cover.) 



Price, 25c. per qt.; SI. 30 per tieck; 

 $4.25 per bushel; 10 bushels, $4.15 per 

 bushel. 



PROOF 



We had excellent results with 'Henderson's Diamond Jubilee Corn,' in fact our farm foreman thinks it is the best field 

 Corn he ever planted. We think it will be the standard with us on our ten farms in the future."
