HENDERSON'S FARMERS MANUAL 



FIELD CORN 



Diamond Jubilee Golden Dent 



110 Days. Small Cob. 70 Pounds of Ears Produce 

 62 Pounds of Shelled Corn. 



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 the extra good yield.

 bushel. 



Early Golden Orange Dent 



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. 



Early Golden Orange Dent Corn is the most desirably colored com 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 tor 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. Sow S to 10 qts. per acre. 



Price, qt. 50c; peck $1.35; bushel $4.50; 10 bushel lots @ $4.40 per 

 bushel. 



Cornell No. 1 1 Yellow Dent 



Matures in 110 Days 



This variety has been recommended by institutions in New York State 

 where it has been grown extensively with the best of results, has a long ear 

 and heavy stalk, which give it a valuable place for ensilage. 



This type does well in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. 



Price, qt. 60c; Vi peck 90c; 1 peck $1.75; bushel $5.50. 



Long's Champion Yellow Dent 



20 to 24 uniform rows of long, broad kernels 



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 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. 



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. Sow 8 to 10 qts. per acre. 



Price, qt. 50c; peck $1.35; bushel $4.25; 10 bushel lots @ $4.15 per
