PLANT FOR "EXTRA EARLY" SWEET CORN 



Henderson's POCAHONTAS 



POSITIVELY THE EARLIEST VARIETY GROV^N 



Pocahontas Sweet Corn is positively 3 days earlier than any 

 other Sweet Corn grown, regardless of the claims for earliness 

 made for soine other varieties, for we have proven it so in our 

 trial grounds for three years alongside all other early varieties 

 offered by other houses. 



Pocahontas is the result of a selection for several years from 

 the White Cob Cory. Its merits in addition to earliness are 

 uniformity of plant to type, constitution and productiveness. 

 The ears are stout, evenly and compactly filled with tender white 

 kernels of verv fine qualitv for so early a varietv. {See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt.", 35c. qt., $2.00 pk. 



PRAISE FOR P OCAHONTAS SWEET COKN 



" Your Pocahontas Sweet Corn is a wonder. We had corn from it on July 13th, 

 and every stalk is filled with large, plump ears." 



J. H. DOUGL.AS. Ithaca, N. Y. 

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

 We pulled our first ears on the 8th of July — a week ahead of Minnesota and 

 Floracroft Beauty, and 10 days ahead of Extra Early Market — all planted at 

 the same time. These sorts have always been the earliest around here." 



W. T. BOSWORTH, Neivporl. Ohio. 



PLANT FOR -MEDIUM EARLY" SWEET CORN 



Henderson's HIAWATHA 



I'arliness, productiveness and delicious r|uality are the pro- 

 nounced merits of our new Hiawatha Sugar-Sweet Com. 



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

 long, plump, pearly-white kernels, so lusciously tender, creamy 

 and sweet as to literally "melt in your mouth." Another valu- 

 able feature is the length of time the ears remain "in the milk," 

 the thick husk giving splendid protection. 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. 

 It is very early, being ready to use in from nine to ten weeks 

 from planting, or only a few days later than the very earliest 

 varietv grown. A perfect Corn for the home table. {See cut.) 

 Price, lOc. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.00 pk. 



" Hiawatha is our finest sweet corn this season." 



E. H. LOCKWOOD, Edgewood, R. I. 

 "I had good success with your Hiawatha Sweet Corn. It was the best of the 

 the 5 kinds I used." H. ALLERTON, Derby Line. Vt. 



PLANT FOK "MIDSEASON" SWEET CORN 



THE "HENDERSON" 



This ideal Com is ready for the table about two weeks before 

 the latest sorts. The "Henderson" Corn produces uniformly 

 large, thick ears, averaging twelve inches in length, being com- 

 pactly filled from butt to tip with long milky white kernels of 

 luscious tenderness. The toothsome quality is retained for a 

 much longer time than with most Corns. The plants are luxu- 

 riant, healthv growers, and wonderfully prolific. Price, 10c. pkt., 

 20c. pt., 30c." qt., $1.75 pk. 



PLANT FOR "LATE" SWEET CORN 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN 



Now recognized everj-where as a standard variety, both for 

 home use and market, and is the general favorite. The ears are 

 of a large size, grains deep, exceptionally tender and sugary, and 

 have the advantage of remaining longer in the green state than 

 any other. Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.50 pk.
