HENDERSON’S 
EureKa 
Yellow Dent 
Corn. 
The finest Field Corn 
Grown. 
Large, Handsome Ears, 12 to 15 inches 
long, weighing ! to 2 lbs. each. 
Heavy Yielder, 150 bushels Shelled 
Corn per acre not unusual. 
The photograph gives a very inadequate 
idea of the magnificent appearance of this 
Corn. Itis the result of the most careful and 
persistent selection by a wealthy Pennsylva- 
nia farmer who makesCorn his hobby and his pride. For 
sixteen years he has, from a planting of 80 to 100 acres, 
selected only the best ears at husking time, planting 
these by themselves and continuing this selection. 
He began by offering his huskers five cents for every 
ear weighing two pounds and over, but that soon be- 
came ruinous, and in later years a man was appointed 
at husking to do nothing but look out for ideal ears. 
The ear sets fairly low on the stalk, is immense, 
with small red cob, the grain a clear bright reddish 
yellow, large and of great depth, filled out full over 
both ends. It runs 18 to 22 rows, and an important 
feature of the selection clearly shown in the photograph 
is that the rows run even, the same number at tip 
and butt, thereby materially increasing the amount of 
shelled Corn per acre. 
Be May be planted with safety in latitudes as far northas 
New York City, and even further north in favorable locations. As an indication of its pro- 
ductiveness, a nine-acre field yielded at the rate of 144 bushels per acre. (See cut.) 
C. S. CLARK, the well-known Seed and Corn grower of Huron County, Ohio, writes: 
“In your new Eureka Corn you have the largest-eared Corn in cultivation; it’s a wonder.” 
“T have such a tremendous crop of your Yellow Dent Field Corn that it attracts general attention, and several 
farmers have asked me where I ‘got the seed; the stalks average 14 feet high, some are 17 feet, and none 
less than 12 feet. 50 percent. of the stalks bore two large ears each.’’—H. DE B. SCHENCK, per WM. C. Nasu, 
Manager, Ridgefield, Conn. 
““The Eureka Corn is the best I have ever seen.’’—L. L. LEE, Marion, Alabama. : 
20 cts. quart, 90 cts. peck, $3.00 bushel; 10 bushels and upwards, $2.85 bushel. 
“T ordered some Eu- 
reka Field Corn from 
you last yearana was 
surprised howit yieid- 
ed. Itis the best Corn 
I ever planted, and 
am farming now 
about 25 years.’’—
