EARS WEIGH 2 TO 23^ LBS. AT CRIBBING TIME 



20 to 24 uniform rows of long, broad kernels 



A luxuriant grower 12 to 15 feet high 



Long's Champion Yellow Dent Com is the climax of 25 years of Corn breeding and selection 

 by one of the most successful farmers in the Pennsylvania Corn belt. 



AVill 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 wUl 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.

EUREKA YELLOW DENT 



Large, Handsome Ears, 12 to 

 15 Inches Long, Weighing 1 to 

 2 Pounds Each. Heavy Yielder; 

 100 Bushels Shelled Corn per 

 acre Not Unusual 



This is one of the finest and most produc- 

 tive field Corns grown: it is a tremendous 

 yielder — 100 bushels of shelled Corn per 

 acre is not unusual. The plants grow 12 to 

 15 feet high, a large proportion of them bear- 

 ing 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 

 an excellent Corn to grow. 



Price, qt. 45c.; peck $1.10; bushel $3.50. 



WOOD'S 



EARLY NORTHERN 



WHITE DENT 



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 circumfer- 

 ence. Borne 2 to 2>< 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), and being vastly 

 superior in every respect to the Flint varie- 

 ties and the small Dent Corns usually raised, 

 will be by far the most profitable sort in 

 latitudes north of New York City. Sows 

 8 to 10 qts. per acre. 



Price, qt. 50c.; peck $1.25; bushel S4.00.

 also silage. The fodder is very tall leafy and 

 withstands drought, develops the ear early,

 the ends and shells out very satisfactory. 



It is a sure cropper and will mature when 

 other dent varieties fail. (See Illustration.)

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, trueness to types, uniform 

 maturity, and other essential points. 



"I send you a photo showing a crop of Long's 



Champion Corn from your seed. From less 



than 2 acres I filled a silo 10 x 26 feet. The 



corn averaged 14 ft. high and was well eared."
