HENDERSON'S 



Japanese Buckwheat 



This grand variety, introduced by us several years ago, has 

 proven a bonanza to Buckwheat raisers in this country. It is of 

 strong, branching growth, stands up well and produces from two to 

 four times as much grain as any other variety under same conditions. 

 It is also fully a week earlier. The seed of our Japanese variety 

 is nearly as large again as that of other Buckwheats; it makes the 

 finest flour and for bees has practically displaced all other sorts 

 where known. 



The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station reports that it has 

 grown Henderson's New Japanese Buckwheat for two years, and 

 has found it superior to the old varieties in several important respects. 

 " It is larger and stronger, and stands up better during storms, and 

 its seeds are larger but what places it far ahead of other varieties 

 is that of, setting full crops of Buckwheat in dry, hot weather. " 



Henderson's Japanese Buckwheat seed is grown from the largest 

 Japanese type imported by us for stock seed and is therefore im- 

 mensely superior to that grown here for several seasons whereby 

 it has deteriorated. (See cut.) Price, 60c. pk., $1.90 per bush, 

 (of 48 lbs); 10 bush, lots, @ $1.80 bush. 



" The Japanese Buckwheat ripened about one week sooner than 

 the old-fashioned kind, and produced more than as much again to the 

 same amount of sowing the past season." 



LEMUEL VAN NESS, Pompton, N. J. 



" Truly, the Japanese Buckwheat is one of the greatest improvements, 

 in a single line of grain, of the present age. All other kinds of buck- 

 wheat can be well thrown aside; and not only the bee-keepers of our 

 land, but farmers in general, can unite in tendering a vote of thanks 

 to our enterprising seedsman Peter Henderson."— GLEANINGS IN 

 BEE CULTURE. 



"The Japanese Buckwheat I purchased from you is distinct, and 

 stands the sun belter than any other sort."

Long's Champion Yellow Dent Corn. 



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 Middle and Eastern 

 States, on account of its immense yield, at least 25 per cent, and often 50 per cent, more than can be 

 obtained from the average old-type corns generally planted. 



Long's Champion is the climax of 25 years of corn breeding and selection by Mr. I. S. Long, one of the 

 most successful and progressive farmers in the Pennsylvania corn belt. 



The ears are of immense size, 12 to 14 inches in length, 8 to 11 inches in circumference, carrying 20 to 

 24 uniform rows of long large kernels well developed over tip and butt. It is a luxuriant grower, about 12 

 to 15 feet high, and in Lebanon County, Pa., where it originated, has never failed to mature by Sep- 

 tember 20th, when planted during the first half of May. There is but a limited quantity of seed grown 

 by the originator for sale, and it cannot be offered by any other seedsman or dealer. (,See cut.) 

 Price, $1.25 pk., $4.00 bush.; 10 bush, lots, @ $3.90 bush. 



HENDERSON'S EUREKA CORN. 



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 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 

 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 100 to 110 days of "corn weather" are assured, it 

 is the corn to grow. It gives unqualified satisfaction from Connecticut to Ohio and 

 south, but north of that latitude we do not advise planting it unless in favored local- 

 ities. Pk. 75c; bush., $2.25; 10 bush, lots, @ $2.15 bush. 



" This will be my third year planting Eureka Corn. I have grown it in competition 

 with many varieties and find it the best of them all' ' 



JOHN J. FARRELL, R. F. D. No. 1, Troy, N. Y. 



WOOD'S NORTHERN WHITE DENT CORN, 



The earliest large, White Dent, ripens thoroughly in latitudes south of Albany 

 and Buffalo. Extraordinarily prolific, often yielding 110 bushels shelled corn per 

 acre. Large ears, 10 to 12 inches long, 7 to 8 inches in circumference. Long kernels, 

 small cob. Ears 2 to 3 feet from the ground. Plant leafy and luxuriant, making 

 fine fodder. It is the earliest large, white Dent Corn we know of. Price, 80c. 

 pk., $2.75 bush.; 10 bush, lots, $2.65 bush.
