LANCASTER SURE CROP 



Standard Dent Varieties 



EARLY GOLDEN ORANGE DENT 



A 90 to 100 Day Variety. Long Desired by the Northern Farmer. 



Henderson's Early Golden Orange Dent Corn is the most desirably 

 colored corn 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 onehundred normal corn days and specially adapted for 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. The ears for shelling were all 

 selected by hand and the seed is in first-class merchantable condition. 



Price, qt., 60c; peck, $2.25; bushel, $6.00. 



LANCASTER SURE CROP YELLOW DENT 



105 Day Variety 



One of the best varieties for cribbing and also silage. The fodder is 

 very tall, leafy, and withstands drought, develops the ear early, the 

 kernels are long and narrow, fills out to the ends and shells out very 

 satisfactorily. It is a sure cropper and will mature when other dent 

 varieties fail. 



Price, qt., 60c; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.00. 



EARLY NORTHERN 

 WHITE DENT 



Extraordinarily prolific, a 105 

 day variety, ripens thoroughly 

 south of Albany and Buffalo. 

 Large ears 10 to 12 inches long, 7 

 to 8 inches in circumference. 

 Borne 2 to 2 l /i 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 

 varieties. Sow 8 to 10 qts. per 

 acre. 



Price, qt., 50c; peck, $1.50; 

 bushel, $4.00. 



Flint Varieties 



KING PHILIP 



Coppery-red. Very early. Usually ma- 

 tures three months after planting. Ears 

 large sized and handsome. 10 to 12 inches 

 long. Matures in 90 days. 



Price, qt., 60c; peck, $1.50; bushel, 

 $4.50. 



LARGE WHITE 



Valuable for ensilage in the Northern ^ 

 states as well as for the grain. 



Handsome ears, large well-filled ker- 

 nels, fine quality. Matures in 90 days. ] 



Price, qt., 60c; peck, $1.50; bushel.] 

 $4.50. 



EXTRA EARLY YELLOW 90 Day 



It yields 50 to 60 bushels of shelled Corn per 

 acre and can be shelled and grown earlier than 

 any other variety. It is especially adapted to 

 Northern conditions (cool nights and short sum- 

 mers), and under favorable conditions the yield 

 is immense. The ears are eight-rowed, remark- 

 ably long, frequently measuring 15 inches and 

 over, of a rich amber color, thickly set with large, 

 broad kernels. The stalks are medium height. 

 In ordinary seasons it will mature in ninety days, 

 and can be shelled and ground for feed earlier 

 than any other large-yielding variety. It is 

 especially valuable in sections where Corn can- 

 not be planted before the middle of June. 



Price, qt., 60c; peck, $1.50; bushel, $4.50. 



CORN for FODDER and ENSILAGE 



Sow broadcast 2 bushels; in drills, 1 bushel per acre 



SOUTHERN HORSE TOOTH. Grows to a large size, is very leafy and well 

 adapted for ensilage. Large quantities of this corn are sold by feed and other 

 stores which usually result in disappointment to the farmer. There is no corn 

 seed more difficult to cure or keep properly, and much of it is kiln-dried, while 

 large quantities have been stored in elevators and gone through a sweating 

 process which has destroyed the germ. The stock we offer is carefully selected, 

 sun-dried and of high germination. 



Price, qt., 60c; peck, $1.30; bushel, $4.25. 



EVERGREEN SWEET FODDER. Fodder grown from the Evergreen 

 Sweet Corn is superior in quality to that of the ordinary field varieties, being 

 richer, sweeter and more digestible. The best plan is to sow in rows 24 to 30 

 inches apart, using one bushel of Corn per acre. 



Price, qt., 50c; peck, $1.30; bushel. $4.00. 



SORGHUMS Etc. FOR FEED 



DOURA YELLOW BRANCHING. ( Yellow Milo Maize.) Earlier 

 than the Rural Branching and of taller growth, often attaining a height 

 of 9 to 12 feet, but it does not stool out quite as much from the ground 

 although it branches out from the joints. 



Price, lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $2.50; 25 lbs., $5.00; 100 lbs.. $15.00. 



SORGHUM or SUGAR CANE. Of great value for cutting green 

 and feeding green during hot weather in summer, when pastures 

 are apt to be burned up. Being a tropical plant, it makes its best 

 growth during just such weather, and cattle, horses and sheep relish 

 it, and it may be fed to them with safety. Sow in drills, 10 to 12 lbs 

 per acre; broadcast 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Should be cut when 

 about 2 feet high, and will yield several such cuttings. Earlier 

 than the Orange and may be grown even in Northern States. 

 Cured in the same way as a heavy crop of Clover, it makes an 

 excellent quality of hay. 



EARLY AMBER. Price, lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $2.50; 25 lbs., 

 $5.00; 100 lbs., $15.00. 



EARLY ORANGE. Produces a larger and heavier growth 

 than the Amber but is later.
