2 HENDERSON'S SPECIAL LIST OF FARM SEEDS 



Henderson's Diamond Jubilee Corn 



(See illustration on Back Cover) 

 Offered for the First Time in Honor of Our Diamond Jubilee 



Matures in 110 Days. Small Cob. 70 Pounds of Ears Produces 62 Pounds of Shelled Corn 



Henderson's Diamond Jubilee Golden Dent Corn, offered for the first time last year in honor of our Diamond 

 Jubilee, is a cross between a leading Yellow Dent and a large-eared white variety, and is a wonderfully prolific 

 yielder. 



The ears average ten to fourteen inches in length, are of a beautiful golden-yellow color, and are produced low 

 down on the stalk, the average distance being three and one-half feet from the base of the ear to the ground. The 

 cob is red, small, and firm, and covered with eighteen to twenty-two rows of deep, heavy grain. Seventy pounds 

 of ears will, when dry, shell sixty to sixty-two pounds of Corn. The ears are of surpassing uniformity, which ac- 

 counts for the extra good yield ol ove* one hundred bushels per acre when planted on fairly good corn land. 



The stalks grow to a height of from twelve to fourteen feet, but are not massive, although of good resisting 

 quality, standing up well. The foliage is luxuriant, the stalks being furnished to the bottom, making the fodder of 

 exceptional feeding value. 



It was raised seven years ago in York County, Pennsylvania, by an expert corn farmer, and by repeated selec- 

 tion has been brought to its present excellence. Henderson's Diamond Jubilee will give a better return on poor or 

 lean soil than almost any other variety, as it does not seem to require as much plant food as most sorts, although 

 the better the soil, the better the corn. According to analysis the stalks contain from 4 to 6 per cent of potash. 



It is from ten to fourteen days earlier than Long's Champion, consequently can be planted further North, with 

 eA r ery chance of fully maturing, rather than that long season variety. 



We recommend planting it, if in hills, three and one-half feet apart each way, allowing three plants to the hill. 

 When planted in rows, allow the same distance between the drills and about sixteen inches between the plants. 



As there is only a limited quantity of seed for sale, we would advise early orders. Henderson's Diamond 

 Jubilee cannot be procured from other seedsman or dealers. 



Price, 25c. per quart( $1. 6s per peck; $5.50 per bushel, 10 bushels at $5.40.

EXTRA EARLY YELLOW FLINT CORN 



(See Illustration on Front Cover) 



One of the Best Recent Introductions 



Yields 90 Bushels of Shelled Corn Per Acre 



Can Be Shelled and Ground Earlier Than Any Other Variety 



This is a valuable addition to the Flint varieties of Flint Corn. It is the earliest variety in. existence and 

 especially adapted to Northern conditions (cool nights and short summers) and under favorable conditions the 

 yield is immense. The ears are eight-rowed, remarkably long, frequently measuring 15 inches and over, of a rich 

 amber color, thickly set with large, broad kernels. The stalks are of 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 cannot be planted before the middle of June. With good cultivation 

 Extra Early Yellow Flint will yield 90 bushels of shelled Corn per acre. Considering that it is an eight-rowed 

 early sort this is an excellent yield. Specially recommended for planting in Northern New York, Connecticut 

 and Massachusetts. (See engraving.) Price, $1.50 peck; $5.00 bushel; 10 bushels at $4.90. 



"Last year I purchased from you Extra Early Yellow Flint Corn. It proved to be all you claim and more. People who saw the 

 fields said they were the finest they had ever seen."
