Long's Champion Yellow Dent Corn 



This King of Corns is without doubt the finest, the largest and the most productive 

 // Yellow Dent Corn ever produced, and will be found to be of great value to the farmer, es- 

 7 pecially in the Middle and Eastern States, on account of its immense yield, at least 25 per 

 7/ cent, and often 50 per cent, more than can be obtained from the average old-type corns gen- 

 erally planted. 

 Long's Champion is the climfc of 25 years of corn breeding and selection by Mr. I. S. Long, 

 one of the most successful and progressive farmers in the Pennsylvania corn belt. 

 The ears are of immense size, 12 to 14 inches in length, 8 to 11 inches in circumference, carrying 

 20 to 24 uniform rows of long large kernels well developed over tip and butt. It is a luxuriant grower, 

 about 12 to 15 feet high, and in Lebanon County, Pa., where it originated, has never failed to mature by Sep- 

 tember 20th, when planted during the first half of May. There is but a limited quantity of seed grown 

 by the originator for sale, which can be had through us. {See cut.) Price SI. 10 pk., S3. 50 bush. ; 10 

 bush. lots. @ S3. 40 bush. 



"Last year I bought of you Long's Champion Yellow Dent Corn and my experience with it leads me to say 

 thai it more than warrants all you claim for it." E. A. PALMER, Stockton, N. J. 



HENDERSON'S EUREKA CORN. 



One of the finest and most productive field corns grown; it is a tremendous yielder — 150 bushels 



of shelled com per acre is not unusual. 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 



'TO? -. where 100 to 110 days of "corn weather" are assured, it is the corn to grow. It 



r^jjV '_■_._ gives unqualified satisfaction from Connecticut to Ohio and south, but north of that 



latitude we do not advise planting it unless in favored localities. {See cut page 



08.) Pk. 75c; bush., S2.50; 10 bush, lots, @ S2.40. 



"The Eureka Corn that I got from you last Spring is certainly remarkable; about IS 

 feet high with ears about 1 fool long. The Farmers from my section are coming to 

 look at it and advise me to take it to the 'Grahamsvihe Fair' which opens next week."

HENDERSON'S 



Japanese Buckwheat 



This grand variety, introduced by us several years •ago, has 

 proven a bonanza to Buckwheat raisers in this country. It is of 

 strong, branching growth, stands up well and produces from two to 

 four times as much grain as any other variety under same conditions. 

 It is also fully a week earlier. The seed of our Japanese variety 

 is nearly as large again as that of other Buckwheats; it makes the 

 finest flour and for bees has practically displaced all other sorts 

 where known. 



The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station reports that it has 

 grown Henderson's New Japanese Buckwheat for two years, and 

 has found it superior to the old varieties in several important respects. 

 "It is larger and stronger, and stands up better during storms, and 

 its seeds are larger but what places it far ahead of other varieties 

 is that of setting full crops of Buckwheat in dry, hot weather." 



Henderson's Japanese Buckwheat seed is grown from the largest 

 Japanese type imported by us for stock seed and is therefore im- 

 mensely superior to that grown here for several seasons whereby 

 it has deteriorated. {See cut.) Price, 50c. pk., SI. 60 per bush, 

 (of 48 lbs.); 10 bush, lots, (a SI. 50 bush. 



"Truly, the Japanese Buckwheat is one of the greatest improvements, 

 in a single line of grain, of the present age. All other kinds of buck- 

 wheat can be well thrown aside; and not only the bee-keepers of our 

 land, but farmers in general, can unite in tendering a vote of thanks 

 to our enter prizing seedsman Peter Henderson." — GLEAXIXGS IN 

 BEE CULTURE. 



"I had a small quantity of Japanese Buckwheat from you last year, 

 which I planted on the 5th day of July, and from this I cut, and had 

 in good, clean Buckwheat, 1,392 pounds, which ripened earlier and has 

 produced more than three times the yield of the Silver Hull with the 

 same culture." DAVID BEAM, Midvale, N. J.
