SWEET CORN 
CULTURE: Sweet or sugar corn 
may be either planted 1 inch deep 
in rows 3 or 4 feet apart, and the 
seeds placed about 8 Inches apart 
in the rows, or planted in hills at distances of 3 or 4 feet each way, according to the 
size of the variety grown. The taller the variety, or the richer the soil, the greater 
should be the distance apart. Make first plantings in this vicinity about the middle 
of May and plant every two or three weeks until the last week in July. In more 
southerly latitudes planting is begun earlier and continued later. 1 lb. for 150 hills; 
12 to 15 lbs. per acre.

The Sweetest, Tenderest 
and 
Daintiest Sweet Corn 
The merits of this famous Henderson 
introduction are so widely known 
that description may seem unnecessary. 
But to new readers of this catalog we 
would say that our customers wrote 
this description through their many 
testimonials. 
Its luscious sweetness is the result of 
many years of breeding; its unusual 
tenderness is due to the gossamer-like 
casing of the kernels; its daintiness to 
the pencil-like thinness of the cob; its 
attractive appearance to its creamy 
yellow color. 
The plants are very uniform, about 
5 1 2 feet high. Many stalks produce 
two full-sized ears that are about 8 to 
inches long, with 8 to 10 rows of 
kernels. 88 days.

Superior Flavor 
Longer Ears — Greater Yield 
The ears measure 9 to 10 inches in 
length and are exceptionally uni- 
form in size and shape. Every ear 
carries 16 or 18 rows of kernels of an at- 
tractive golden yellow color, filled with 
the most delicious, tasty, sweet and tender 
pulp. The unusual depth of the kernels 
is quickly noticed as one sinks his teeth 
into this delightful delicacy. There are 
very few tillers, averaging perhaps one 
short one to a plant. It has been found 
somewhat heat and drought resistant and 
the stalks stand up well against heavy 
winds. 85 days.
