Popular Market Garden Varieties 

 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 grown 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, 2 lbs. 70c, 12 lbs. $4.00, (Bush.) 45 lbs. $14.00. 



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 large 

 eared sorts, so that the net produce from a 

 given area is about the same as of ordinary 

 sorts. The plant is about 5 feet high, med- 

 ium early, but of exceptionally good quality. 

 In all respects it is a gem — in size of plant, 

 ear and grain. (See engraving.) Price, 2 lbs. 

 55c, 12 lbs. $2.50, (Bush.) 45 lbs. $8.00. 



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. 

 (See engraving.) Price, 2 lbs. 60c, 12 lbs. $2.75, 

 (Bush. j 45 lbs. $9.00. 



Pocahontas, Henderson's. 



The 

 result 



of years of selection of the earliest and best 

 ears of White Cob Cory. It has always main- 

 tained 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. Price, 2 lbs. 55c, 12 lbs. $2.50, 

 (Bush.) 45 lbs. $8.00.

 filled, the plant is even in height and the crop 

 ripens earlv. Price, 2 lbs. 55c, 12 lbs. $2.50, 

 (Bush.) 45"lbs. $8.00. 



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 Ban- 

 tam. Price, 2 lbs. 55c, 12 lbs. $2.75, (Bush.) 

 45 lbs. $9.00.
