PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



HENDEP-soN-s POCAHONTAS. 



POSITIVELY THE EARLIEST SWEET CORN GROWN. 



Pocahontas Sweet Corn is positively 3 days earlier than any other 

 sweet corn grown, regardless of the claims for earliness made for 

 some other varieties, for we have proven it so in our trial grounds 

 for three years alongside all other earlj- varieties offered by other 

 houses. 



Pocahontas is the result of a selection for several years from thf 

 White Cob Cory. In addition to earliness and uniformity of plant 

 it is remarkably productive. The ears are stout, evenh^ and com- 

 pactly filled with tender white kernels of verv fine qualitv for so 

 early a variety. {See cut.) Price, 30c. qt., $2'.00 pk., $7.00 bush. 



" You have all the seedsmen " skinned " on Early Sugar Corn in your Pocahontas. 

 We pulled our first ears on the Sth of July — " 'tijeek ahead of ilinyiesota and Floracrofi 

 Beauty, and 10 days ahead of Extra Early Market — all planted at the same time. 

 These sorts have always been the earliest around here. 



I would like to know of a sugar corn that will beat or equal your Pocahontas in 

 earliness and size of ears." W. T. BOSWORTH. Newport. Ohio. 



H ENDERSONS HIAWATHA. 



A NEW EARLY "SUGAR-SWEET " CORN. 



A very early variety being ready to use in from nine to ten weeks 

 from sowing, or only two or three days later than the very earliest 

 variety grown, to which Hiawatha is far superior in size and qual- 

 ity. The ears are about eight inches long, compactly filled with 

 12 to 14 and occasionally 16 rows of medium-sized long, plump, 

 white kernels. The plant grows about five feet high, bearing no 

 less than two ears to a stalk and frequently three ears, all very 

 uniform in shape and size. Price, 30c. qt., $2.00 pk. 



WHITE COB CORY. 



A Popular Extra Early Sweet Com. 



An extremely early variety, usually fit to use in from fiftj' 

 to sixty days from seed sowing. It retains all the good qualities 

 of its parent, but has a white cob and the grains are free from 

 the objectionable reddish tinge that occurs in the red cob va- 

 riety. The plants are dwarf and stocky, enabling them to be 

 closely planted. It is not only a first early but is valuable to 

 plant late for autumn use. Pri'ce, 25c. qt., $1.30 pk., $4.50 bush. 



HENDERSON'S 

 COUNTRY GENTLEMAN SWEET COFkN. 



The Best, Most Productive and Salable of Main Crop Varieties. 



Is the finest of all Sweet Corns. It retains its tenderness and 

 flavor even when a httle old, as the ears are enclosed in a heavy 

 husk, which tends to keep the ear " in the milk " for several 

 days longer than other corns. The ears average eight to nine 

 inches in length, cob small; plump white kernels of great depth 

 fill the ear from end to end. It is a very safe and reliable cropper. 

 (See cut.) Price, 25c. qt., $1.50 pk., $5.00 bush. 



Henderson's METROPOLITAN Sweet Corn. 



The Best, Largest and the Biggest Yielder of Extra Early Sweet 



Corns. 



Metropolitan combines earliness and good flavor. It is only 

 two days later than Cory. 



The plant is strong in stalk, growing 5h feet in height; leaves 

 numerous, narrow and dark green. The ears, two or three to 

 the plant, are all set low. They are uniformly 9 inches long, 

 10 to 12 rowed, well filled to the tip with large, deep grains, 

 which are very tender. It is not merely sweet, but possesses 

 that exquisite richness so weir known in the larger and later 

 sorts. An ample husk insures its remaining in the " milk " 

 longer than is usual with earlv varieties. 



Price, 25c. qt., $1.50 pk., $5.00 bush. 



THE "HENDERSON" SWEET CORN. 



This ideal corn follows after the early varieties, and about 

 two weeks before the latest sorts, producing large, thick 

 ears, averaging twelve inches in length, being compactly filled 

 from butt to tip with long milky-white kernels of luscious 

 tenderness. The plants are luxuriant growers and prolific. 

 One of the most valuable sorts for canning and market. 



Price, 25c. qt., $1.30 pk., $4.50 bush.
