ANNO UNCEMENT 



Since the part of our Manual of Everything for the Garden for 1918 

 devoted to Farm Seeds went to the printer early in November, 1917, 

 prices of Field, Fodder and Ensilage Corn have advanced consider- 

 ably. This advance is due to the great difficulty experienced in getting 

 seed showing good germination, because of the serious damage sus- 

 tained by the crops from an early frost, last fall. 



Notwithstanding the general scarcity of good seed, we have secured 

 stocks, which though limited in quantity are excellent in quality, and 

 of good germination. We would advise our customers to order early, 

 because of short supplies, and possible delays due to overtaxea 

 transportation facilities. 



HENDERSON'S EUREKA 

 YELLOW DENT CORN 



Large, Handsome Ears, 12 to 15 Inches Long, 

 Weighing 1 to 2 Pounds Each. Heavy Yielder; 

 1 50 Bushels Shelled Corn per acre Not Unusual 



This is 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 average yield of Corn per acre, as shown by U. S. 

 statistics is 26 bushels. The cost of growing an acre of Corn yielding 

 only 26 bushels, is just the same as for growing an acre of Henderson's 

 Eureka or Long's Champion, yielding 100 bushels. 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 105 to 1 10 days of ' ' Corn weather ' ' are assured, it is the Corn to 

 grow. For ensilage or fodder, cured or green, Henderson's Eureka can 

 be safely planted even in Northern States and is not equalled by any 

 other Corn grown, being of leafy, luxuriant growth, with large ears, 

 when only half grown, thus giving a great quantity of fodder per 

 acre. Corn planted in hills requires 8 to 10 quarts per acre. (See en- 

 graving, also colored plate on back cover of this catalogue.) 



Price, 35c. per qt.; $2.25 per peck; $8.50 per bushel; 10 bushels 

 and upward, $8.40 per bushel. 



EXPERIENCES OF PRACTICAL PLANTERS 



"My crop of Henderson's Eureka was considered the finest crop of Corn in 

 the Xew Brunswick, X. J., district, and I was complimented many times. The 

 stalks stood 10 to 11 feet high, and were loaded down with golden ears from 12 

 to 13 inches long and very thick. I believe my success will induce my neighbors 

 to plant 'Eureka' also next spring." 



W. F. QUADE, Lilac Terrace, Xew Brunswick, X. J. 



" We have filled a 64-ton silo from less than 4 acres of Henderson's Eureka 

 Dent Corn." J. W. CHAFEE, Sheshequin, Pa. 



"I have the prize Corn of the town tnth Henderson's Eureka Yellow Dent. 

 The average height of the stalks was 14 feet, some being 16 feet. The ears too 

 are immense." 



GUS. BISSIXGER, Fifth Ave. Hotel, Rockaway Park, L. I. 



" The Eureka Corn that I got from you last spring is certainly remarkable 

 about 15 ft. high and the ears 1 foot long. The farmers from my section are 

 coming to look at it, and they advise me to show it at Grahamsville Fair which 

 opens October 5th, next week." S. THOMAS, Fallsburgh, X. Y. 



"My field of Henderson's Eureka Field Corn 'seed purchased from you) 

 is the finest sight I have ever seen in the way of corn, and every one asks where 

 I got the seed." A. B. LEES, Madison, Conn. 



Wood's Eakly Northern 

 WHITE DENT CORN 



THE CLIMAX OF 40 YEARS' SELECTION 

 Extraordinary Prolific Yields 110 Bushels Per Acre (shelled) 



RIPENS THOROUGHLY SOUTH OF ALBANY AND BUFFALO 

 Large Ears 1 to 12 Inches Long, 7 to 8 Inches in Circumference. Borne 2 to 

 2 Feet From the Ground. Long Kernels, Small Cob. 

 Leafy, Luxuriant Plant. Making Fine Fodder. 



While the raiser. Mr. James Wood, of Westchester. X.Y., ex-President 

 of the Xew York State Agricultural Society, does not claim this to be a 

 new variety, having originally been a white Southern Corn, yet by forty 

 years of intelligent selection, it has become the earliest large white Dent 

 Corn we know of and is quite distinct from the original parent. It will 

 , ripen in Connecticut, New York State (except in that portion north of 

 Rochester and Troy), Southern Michigan, Southern Wisconsin, etc., 

 and being vastly superior in every respect to the flint varieties and the 

 small Dent Corns usually raised, will be by far the most profitable sort
