FIELD CORN 



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, true- 

 ness to types, uniform maturity, 

 and other essential points. 



Henderson's 

 Early Golden Orange Dent 



Introduced by us in 1928 



A 90 to 100 Day Variety. Long Desired by the Northern Farmer. 

 Ears 8 to 11 Inches Long. 14 to 18 Rows of Kernels. 



For a number of years past there has been an insistent demand in the 

 North and East for a really early variety of Golden Dent Field Corn; 

 one that would mature in from 90 to 100 days of corn growing weather. 



We are glad to offer again this year this wonderful variety from the 

 middle west which fulfills exactly the requirements of the northern 

 farmer and we feel sure we will make a firm friend of everyone we ship it 

 to. ' 



Henderson's Early Golden Orange Dent Corn is the most desirably 



colored corn we have ever seen, and when shelled it makes the prettiest 



picture ever presented to the eye of the farmer. It is at least ten to 



fifteen days earlier than any other dent variety, maturing in about 



ninety to one hundred normal corn days and specially adapted 



for short seasons of the northern latitudes. 



The stalks are about 10 to 12 feet high, very strong and rank. 

 The ears grow eight to eleven inches long and contain 14 to 18 

 rows of kernels on a red cob. The grains are deep and solid 

 making it very heavy in grain and a wonderful sheller. The 

 ears for shelling were all selected by hand and the seed is in 

 first-class merchantable condition. Sow 8 to 10 qts. per acre.

Henderson's Diamond Jubilee Golden Dent 



Matures in 110 Days. Small Cob. 70 Pounds of Ears Produce 62 Pounds of Shelled Corn 



Henderson's Diamond Jubilee, 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 pro- 

 duced 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 the 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 four- 

 teen feet, but are not massive, although of good re- 

 sisting quality, standing up well. The foliage is 

 luxuriant, the stalks being furnished to the bottom, 

 making the fodder of exceptional feeding value. 



lb is from ten to fourteen days earlier than Long's 

 Champion, consequently can be planted further 

 North, with every chance of fully maturing, rather 

 than that long season variety. 



Henderson's Diamond Jubliee cannot be procured 

 from other seedsmen or dealers. 



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 dis- 

 tance between the drills and about sixteen inches 

 between the plants. Sow 8 to 10 qts. per acre, 

 (See Illustration.) 



Price, qt. 50c; peck S1.50; bushel S4.50; 10 bushel 

 lots @ S4.40 per bushel.
