HENDERSON'S SELECTED FIELD CORN 



DENT VARIETIES 

 Plant 8 to 10 quarts per acre if in hills. Broadcast 2 bushels per acre 



* HENDERSON'S EUREKA YELLOW DENT CORN 



This is one of the finest, and most productive field Corns grown; it is a tremendous yielder — 150 

 bushels of shelled Corn per acre is not unusual. The average yield of Corn per acre, as shown by U. S. 

 statistics is 26 bushels. The cost of growing an acre of Corn yielding only 26 bushels, is just the 

 same as for growing an acre of Henderson's Eureka or Long's Champion, yielding 100 bushels. 

 The plants grow 12 to 15 feet high, a large proportion of them bearing two immense ears to the 

 stalk; the ears are very handsome, averaging 12 to 15 inches long, with small red cob covered full, 

 and over both butt and tip ends, with 18 to 22 even rows of large, deep grain of a rich orange-yellow 

 color. It is fairly early for so large a Dent Corn, but, of course, does not mature as quickly as the 

 small early Dent and Flint varieties, but where 105 to 110 days of "Corn weather" are assured, 

 it is the Corn to grow. (See engraving.) 



Price, 20c. per qt.; $1.25 per peck; $4.00 per bushel; 10 bushels and upwards, $3.90 per bushel. 



WOOD'S EARLY NORTHERN WHITE DENT CORN. Extraordinary prolific, yields 110 bushels 

 per acre (shelled), ripens thoroughly south of Albany and Buffalo. Large ears 10 to 12 inches long, 

 7 to 8 inches in circumference. Borne 2 to 2}4. feet from the ground. Long kernels, small cob. 

 Leafy, luxuriant plant, making fine fodder. 



It will ripen in Connecticut, New York State (except in that portion north of Rochester and 

 Troy), Southern Michigan, Southern Wisconsin, etc., and being vastly superior in every respect 

 to the Flint varieties and the small Dent Corns usually raised, will be by far the most profitable 

 sort in latitudes north of New York City. (See engraving on back cover.) 



Price, 20c. per qt.; $1.25 per peck; $4.00 per bushel; 10 bushels, $3.90 per bushel. 



LEAMING. Improved. Ears are of good size, set low, and nearly always grow two to each stalk. 

 Very small, red cob, with a deep, .long grain, of a rich golden color. It matures early, and if planted 

 not later than the first of June, will generally ripen, and be fit to husk and crib early in September. 



Price, 20c. per qt.; $1.00 per peck; $3.50 per bushel; 10 bushels, $3.40 per bushel. 



GOLDEN BEAUTY. This Corn has given great satisfaction. It is exceedingly productive; a 

 large proportion of the stalks produce two fine ears. The ears are of perfect shape, with from ten 

 to fourteen rows, and filled out to the extreme end of cob. The cobs are unusually small. The 

 richness of color and fine quality of grain make it very superior for grinding into meal. 



Price, 20c. per qt.; $1.25 per peck; $4.00 per bushel; 10 bushels, $3.90 per bushel. 



EXTRA EARLY HURON. As early as most of the Flint Corns, and may be grown even in the 

 most Northern States and in Canada. The grain is narrow, long and deep, with small cob. 



Price, 20c. per qt.; $1.00 per peck; $3.50 per bushel; 10 bushels, $3.40 per bushel. 



QUEEN OF THE PRAIRIE. {Pride of the North.) This variety is valuable to grow North 

 as it matures early. Planted as late as July 4th, it has fully matured by October 1st. The ears 

 grow 8 to 10 inches in length, from 14 to 16 rows, slightly tapering. The kernels are closely set 

 together on the cob, light orange in color and make excellent meal. 



Price, 20c. per qt.; $1.00 per peck; $3.50 per bushel; 10 bushels, $3.40 per bushel. 



WHITE CAP YELLOW. An early variety, said to produce better results on poor, thin or sandy 

 soil than any other variety, and is less affected by drought. The grain is yellow, with white tips. 



Price, 20c. per qt.; $1.00 per peck; $3.50 per bushel; 10 bushels, $3.40 per bushel. 



FLINT VARIETIES 

 EXTRA EARLY YELLOW FLINT CORN 



One of the best recent introductions yields 75 to 85 bushels of shelled Corn per acre. Can be 

 shelled and ground earlier than any other variety. (See engraving on back cover.) 



The earliest variety in existence and especially adapted to Northern conditions (cool nights and 

 short summers), and under favorable conditions the yield is immense. The ears are eight-rowed, 

 remarkably long, frequently measuring 15 inches and over, of a rich amber color, thickly set with 

 large, broad kernels. The stalks are of medium height. In ordinary seasons it will mature in ninety 

 days, and can be shelled and ground for feed earlier than any other large-yielding variety. It is 

 especially valuable in sections where Corn cannot be planted before the middle of June. 



Price, 25c. per qt.; $1.35 per peck; $4.50 per bushel; 10 bushels, $4.40 per bushel. 



LONGFELLOW FLINT. A large 8-rowed Yellow Flint variety well 

 adapted for the Northern States. The ears are long, some of them 

 measuring 15 inches, and oftentimes two or more good specimens grow 

 on one stalk. Grain large and broad and yellow. The cob is quite 

 small. It is the largest variety of Yellow Field Corn safe to plant in 

 the latitude of Massachusetts, where it is quite extensively grown. 



Price, 20c. per qt.; $1.25 per peck; $4.00 per bushel; 10 bushels, 

 $3.90 per bushel. 



KING PHILIP. Coppery-red. Very early. Usually matures three 

 months after planting. Ears large sized and handsome, 10 to 12 inches 

 long. 



Price, 20c. per qt.; $1.25 per peck; $4.00 per bushel. 



CORN FOR FODDER AND ENSILAGE 



COMPTON'S EARLY. The earliest known Yellow Flint variety, 

 ripening in from 76 to 85 days. It is a handsome 10- and 12-rowed 

 sort; very productive, and will ripen in the Northern States. 



Price, 20c. qt.; $1.40 peck; $4.50 bushel; 10 bushels, $4.40 bushel. 



LARGE WHITE FLINT. Handsome ears, large and well filled 

 kernels, white and of fine quality. 



Price, 20c. qt.; $1.25 peck; $4.00 bushel; 10 bushels, $3.90 bushel. 



LARGE YELLOW FLINT. (Early Canada Yellow.) Similar to the 

 above excepting in color; largely grown in the extreme North. 

 Price, 20c. qt; $1.25 peck; $4.00 bushel; 10 bushels, $3.90 bushel. 



SOUTHERN HORSE TOOTH. Grows to a large size, is very 

 leafy and well adapted for ensilage. Large quantities of this Corn 

 are sold by feed and other stores which usually result in disappointment 

 to the farmer. There is no Corn seed more difficult to cure or keep 

 properly, and much of it is kiln-dried, while large quantities have 

 been stored in elevators and gone through a sweating process which 

 has destroyed the germ. The stock we offer is carefully selected, 

 sun-dried and of high germination. 



Price, $3.50 per bushel; 10 bushels and upwards, $3.40 per bushel. 



RURAL THOROUGHBRED WHITE FLINT. An early variety, 

 valuable for the Northern States. Owing to its suckering and branching 

 habit, it yields enormously. 



Price, $1.25 per peck, $4.00 per bushel; 10 bushels and upwards, 

 $3.90 per bushel. 



IMPROVED EARLY HORSE TOOTH. Being nearly two weeks 

 earlier, this variety is better adapted for fodder and ensilage in the 

 Northern States than the ordinary Southern Horse Tooth. 



Price, $3.75 per bushel; 10 bushels and upwards, $3.65 per bushel. 



EVERGREEN SWEET FODDER CORN. Fodder grown from 

 the Evergreen Sweet Corn is superior in quality to that of the ordinary 

 field varieties, being richer, sweeter and more digestible. The best plan 

 is to sow in rows 24 to 30 inches apart, using one bushel of Corn per acre. 



Price, $1.00 per peck; $3.25 per bushel; 10 bushels, $3.15 per bushel. 



SWEET FODDER CORN. Best for cutting and feeding green 

 during the summer months. This is better than any field Corn, from 

 the fact that it is so very sweet and nutritious that cattle will eat every 

 part of the stalk and leaves with relish. Drill thickly, in rows three 

 feet apart using l 1 ^ bushels of seed per acre. 



Price, $1.00 per peck; $3.00 per bushel; 10 bushels, $2.90 per bushel. 



DEPENDABLE SEED SERVICE SINCE 1847. The worth of a House whose business has been carried on successfully for 

 three generations is understood by all who plant seeds, because seeds are sold entirely on reputation.
