Cupid, Henderson's 



The Sweet Corn for the Connoisseur 

 Recommended for a specialized Clientele or for Roadside Markets 



This is one of the earliest varieties in cultivation, it is also regarded by 

 connoisseurs as the sweetest and most delicious morsel that they have ever 

 tasted. We say morsel, because the ears are small, not over six inches in length. 

 Its color is snow white. 



Henderson's Cupid is produced on an extremely small plant which when 

 fully matured is not over four feet high. This permits close planting. Conse- 

 quently twice the number of plants and twice the amount of ears can be 

 obtained from Cupid, than from other varieties on a given area; and, maturing 

 as it does in 70 days, it is obtainable from July to October. It also differs 

 from other varieties in that it retains its delicious flavor for several days after 

 picking. 



For distribution on the open market, this variety is too small, but for a 

 specialized or Roadside Market trade, it will bring repeat orders again and 

 again. (See engraving.) Price, qt. 70c, pk. $4.00, bush. $15.00. 



Golden Bantam 



This Variety Now Enjoys a Great 

 Consumer Demand 



After many years of rejection by the 

 public, the gleaming Golden Bantam is 

 now one of the most popular sorts on the 

 market. New York retail produce 

 merchants say that two out of three 

 buyers are now asking for Golden 

 Bantam. While the individual plant 

 and ear are small, it may be planted so 

 much closer than the larger eared sorts, 

 so that the net product from a given 

 area is about the same as of ordinary 

 sorts. The plant is about 5 feet high, 

 medium early, but of exceptionally 

 good quality. In all respects it is a 

 gem — in size of plant, ear and grain. 

 (See engraving.) Price, qt. 55c, 

 pk. $2.50, bush. $9.00. 



Golden Sunshine. 



This variety is a few 

 days earlier than 

 Golden Bantam, and therefore a valuable sort for 

 early marketing. The ears are from seven to 

 eight inches in length, and are ten or twelve rowed, 

 well filled to the tip, and very prolific; many stalks 

 bearing two good ears. Price, qt. 70c, pk. $4.00, 

 bush. $14.00. 



Pocahontas, Henderson's. £ h ; ea r r e s SU of 



selection of the earliest and best -ears of White 

 Cob Cory. It has always maintained its character 

 for earliness. The plants are very uniform in 

 height, the ears are of good size, the rows set close 

 together and the quality is excellent. (See 

 engraving.) Price, qt. 55c, "pk. $2.50, bush. $9.00.

crop. The ears are small but well filled, the plant 

 even i n height and the crop ripens early. Price, 

 qt. 55c, pk. $2.50, bush. $9.00.' 



Whipples Early Yellow. 



This variety is fully as early as Golden 

 Bantam, but the ears are much larger, 

 being as a rule twelve rowed, and very 

 compact. It is well suited for market 

 growers who want a yellow variety 

 with larger ears than the Golden 

 Bantam. Price, qt. 60c, pk. $3.00, 

 bush. $10.00.
