HENDERSON'S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



NOTICE: The disastrous drought of last summer considerably curtailed the yield of seed 

 of many varieties of Sweet Corn, and stocks throughout the country are very low. Our own supply 

 is extremely limited, and we are compelled to raise prices. In order to avoid disappointment we 

 advise our intending customers to order earlier. 



SWEET CORN "vIL'^fEs' 



We offer Corn by weight (1 peck 12 lbs., 1 bush. 45 lbs.) 



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 varietj^ 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, 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. 

 60c., 12 lbs. S3. 00, (Bush.) 45 lbs. $10.00. 



Golden Sunshine. 



This variety is a 

 few days earlier 

 than Golden Bantam, and therefore a valuable 

 sort for earl}^ marketing. The ears are from 

 seven to eight inches in length, and are ten or 

 twelve rowed, well filled to the tip, and ver\- 

 prolific; many stalks bearing two good ears. 

 (See engraving.) Price, 2 lbs. 60c., 12 lbs. $3.00,
