HENDERSON'S SELECTED FIELD CORN 



Plant 8 to 1 quarts per acre if in hills. Broadcast 2 bushels per acre. 



LONG'S CHAMPION YELLOW DENT CORN 



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 essential, even though there may be 

 someriskof 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 f 7 and often 50% more than can be obtained from the 

 average old-type Corns generally planted. 



The ears weigh 2 to 2' 3 lbs. at cribbing 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. There is but a limited quantity of seed grown 

 by the originator, which can be had through us. (See engraving.) 



Price, 25c. per qt.; $1.65 per peck; $6.00 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, 

 $5.90 per bushel. 



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 1* 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. For ensilage or fodder, cured or green, Henderson's Eureka can 

 be safely planted even in Northern States and is not equalled by any 

 other Corn grown, being of leafy, luxuriant growth, with large ears, 

 when only half grown, thus giving a great quantity of fodder per acre. 

 Corn planted in hills requires 8 to 10 quarts per acre. 



Price, 20c. per qt.; $1.50 per peck; $5.50 per bushel; 10 bushels 

 and upward, $5.40 per bushel. 



WOOD'S EARLY NORTHERN 

 WHITE DENT CORN 



Extraordinarily 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}^ feet from the ground. 

 Long Kernels, small cob. Leafy, luxuriant plant, making fine fodder. 



While the raiser, Mr. James Wood, of Westchester, X. Y., ex-President 

 of the Xew York State Agricultural Society, does not claim this to be a 

 new variety, having originally been a white Southern corn, yet by forty 

 years of intelligent selection, it has become the earliest large white Dent 

 Corn we know of and is quite distinct from the original parent. 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, where the Eureka cannot safely be 

 planted. Plant 8 to 10 quarts per acre if in hills. (See engraving) . 



Price, 25c. per qt.; $1.65 per peck; $6.00 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, 

 $5.90 per bushel. 



OTHER VARIETIES OF DENT CORN 



From all the varieties offered below, in lots of 10 bushels and upward, 

 deduct 10c. per bushel. 



QUEEN OF THE PRAIRIE DENT. (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.; $1.25 per peck; $4.50 per bushel. 



LEAMING DENT. Ears are of good size, set low down, and nearly al- 

 ways 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.; $1.25 per peck; $4.50 per bushel. 



WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT. 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 handsome yellow in color, with 

 white tips. 



Price, 20c. per qt.; $1.25 per peck; $4.50 per bushel. 



HICKORY KING- DENT. Has the largest grains with the smallest , 

 any u white Corn. The stalks of strong, vigorous growth, general!} 

 two good ears each. It is not, however, considered a safe crop 

 of Philadelphia. Will make more shelled Corn t>> a gi en bulk 

 any other variety. 



Price, 20c. per qt.; $1.25 per peck; $4.50 per bushel. 



EXTRA EARLY HURON DENT. As early as most of the Flint Corns, 

 and may be grown even in the most Northern States and in Can 

 The grain is somewhat narrow, but long and deep, with small cob. 



Price, 20c. per qt.; $1.25 per peck; $4.50 per bushel. 



EARLY MASTODON DENT. (The Earliest Large Dent Corn.) Pro- 

 duces large ears for an early variety. It grows strong at a medium 

 height, with broad, heavy leaves, and makes a fine shelled Corn in 

 appearance being purely Dent. 



Price, 20c. per qt. $1.25 per peck; $4.50 per bushel. 



GOLDEN BEAUTY DENT. 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; $4.50 per bushel. 



EARLY BUTLER DENT. A cross from Pride of the North. It has the 

 smallest cob of any Dent Corn in cultivation. It is also the very earliest 

 Dent Corn and is very profitable to grow. It is just the Dent Corn for 

 Northern farmers — grows quick and strong, and has small cobs, very 

 long grains, and good-sized ears. 



Price, 20c. per qt. ; $1.25 per peck; $4.50 per bushel. 



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. 



This is a valuable addition to the Flint varieties of Field Corn. It 

 is the earliest variety in existence and especially adapted to Northern 

 conditions (cool nights and short summers) and under favorable con- 

 ditions 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. With good cultivation Extra Early Yellow Flint will 

 yield 75 bushels of shelled Corn per acre. Considering that it is an 

 eight-rowed early sort this is an excellent yield. Specially recommended 

 for planting in northern New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts 

 (See engraving.) 

 Price, 25c. per qt.; $1.65 per pk ; $6.00 bush.; 10 bush, at $5.90 per bush. 



From. 10 Bushels and Upwards Deduct 10c. Per Bushel from rars. below 



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 y T ellow. 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, 25c. per qt. ; $1.50 per peck; $5.50 per bushel. 



KING PHILIP COPPERY-RED FLINT. Very early usually matures 

 in three months after planting. Ears very large and handsome. 1 

 12 inches long. Price 25c per qt.; $1.50 per peck; $5.50 per bushel. 



RURAL THOROUGHBRED WHITE FLINT. In appearance this 

 closely resembles the old White Flint, but the plant branches and suckers 

 more, and is therefore valuable for ensilage in the Northern States, as 

 well as for the grain. 



Price, 20c. per qt.; $1.40 per peck; $5.00 per bushel. 



COMPTON'S EARLY FLINT. The earliest known Yellow Flintvariety . 

 ripening in from 76 to 85 days. It is a handsome 10 and 12-rowe 1 

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



Price, 25c. per qt.; $1.50 per peck; $5.50 per bushel.
