FIELD CORN. 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEED CORN is grown 

 from pedigree strains carefully selected in the field, consider- 

 ation feeing- given to the plant* as well as to the ears, true- 

 ness to types> uniform maturity, and other essential points. 



6602 Henderson's Diamond Jubilee Corn 



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 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 cob is red, small, 

 and firm, and covered with eighteen to twenty-two rows of deep, heavy grain. 

 Seventy pounds of the ears will, when dry, shell sixty to sixty-two pounds 

 of Corn. The ears are of surpassing uniformity, which accounts for the extra 

 good yield of over one hundred bushels per acre when planted on 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 selection has been brought to its present ex- 

 cellence. 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 every chance of fully maturing, rather 

 than that long season variety. 



We recommend planting it in hills, three and one-half feet apart each way, 

 allowing three plants to the hill. When planted in rows, allow the same dis- 

 tance 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 seed- 

 men or dealers. (See engraving.) 



Price, 25c. quart, $1.35 peck, $4.50 bushel; 10 bushels, $4.40 per bushel. 



6626 LONG'S CHAMPION YELLOW DENT CORN 



For the last 15 years on a section of 90 acres this Corn has yielded 



an average of 133 bushels of Shelled Corn per acre and has 



yielded as high as 160 bushels. 



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, especially in the Middle and Eastern States, where from 

 120 to 130 days of good Corn-growing weather can be relied upon; on account 

 of its immense yield, at least 25 per cent, and often 50 per cent, more than can 

 be obtained from the average old-type Corns generally planted. 



Long's Champion is the climax-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 September 20th, when planted during the first half of May. There 

 is but a limited quantity of seed for sale, which can only be had through us. 



Price, $1.25 peck, $4.00 bushel, 10-bushel lots, $3.90 per bushel. 



"I have had remarkable results with 

 {/our Long's Champion Yellow Dent 

 Corn this year. On 3K acres I obtained 

 o yield of 475 bushels which is a most 

 extraordinary crop for this part of the 

 country:' FRED WEICHERT, 



Oct. 26, 1922.. Green Village, N. J. 



6610 EXTRA EARLY. 

 YELLOW FLINT CORN 



This is a valuable "addition to the 

 Flint varieties of Field Corn. It is the 

 earliest variety in existence and es- 

 pecially adapted to Northern condi- 

 tions (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 sea- 

 eons 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 

 (rill 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, Con- 

 necticut and Massachusetts. 



Price, $1.35 per peck, $4.50 per 

 bushel; 10 bushels, $4.40 per bushel. 



_ The cost of growing an acre of corn 

 yielding only twenty-six bushels is 

 just the same as for growing an acre 

 of Henderson's Diamond Jubilee, 

 or Long's Champion, yielding eighty 

 to one hundred and fifty bushels. 



\Y0RDS OF PRAISE FOR HENDERSON'S 

 DIAMOND JUBILEE CORN 



"We had excellent results with Henderson's Diamond Jubilee Corn, in fact 

 our farm foreman thinks it is the best field corn he ever planted. We think it 

 will be the standard with us on our ten farms in the future." 



T. J. ZOLLER. 

 Jacob Zoller Co., Manufacturers of Food Products, 

 Little Falls, N. Y. 



"I planted ten quarts of Henderson s Diamond Jubilee Corn and from it 

 raised 140 bushels of shelled corn. If it had not been for a gale of wind and 

 a rainstorm I would have had 40 bushels more. I consider it a remarkable variety." 



CHARLES L. GOHN, Columbia, Pa. \ 



"I have five acres planted to Henderson's Diamond Jubilee which will yield 175 

 bushels per acre." 



CHAS. R. GOOD YEAR, East Windsor Hill, Conn. 



" Notwithstanding the dry season in this locality I had very good results with 

 Henderson's Diamond Jubilee Corn."
