TWO GO LDEN SWEET CORNS 



Henderson's GOLDEN ROD Sweet Corn 



A Perfect Yellow Sweet Corn of Liberal Size. Delicious Golden Grains of Pleasing Flavor. 



It is worthy of note that the varieties of Sweet Corn possessing the finest flavor are 

 those that differ radically either in form or color from the ordinary sorts. Thus, 

 Black Mexican and the yellow varieties show a strongly marked divergence from type 

 in the matter of color, and Country Gentleman an equally marked divergence in form, 

 and these varieties excel all others in sweetness and flavor. 



Twenty-five years ago we discarded from our catalogues a yellow seeded Sweet 

 Corn on account of its small size and lack of flavor, and for many years yellow Sweet 

 Corn was practically unknown. In fact when the existing varieties were introduced 

 it was hard to convince the public of their value, but as every one who tasted them 

 became enthusiastic in publishing their praise, they soon came into favor. 



Golden Rod is the result of a cross between Stowell's Evergreen and Golden Bantam, 

 and proves to be a happy and complete blending of each sort. The ear is none too 

 small, nor is it large and bulky, but just large enough for ordinary consumption. The 

 plants are 6 to 7 feet high, strong, profusely leaved, and bear on each stalk, at a con- 

 venient height, two ears lavishly packed with delicious golden grains of appetizing 

 flavor. {See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck. 



"Last year I sent a small order including Golden Rod Corn to try as a novelty. It was planted in 

 my garden at Tyrone, N. C. and proved very fine indeed. Because of its success I believe you will 

 receive an order from one of my neighbors." MISS M.ARY G. BE.ACH, Terre Haute, Ind. 



"Regarding your Golden Rod Corn, would stale that it was a very hard matter to induce my man to 

 give it a trial last year. Now he is convinced thfft it is far ahead of any other kind, and insists on 

 having it, therefore, I have doubled my order." GEORGE .4. HISKEY, So. Bethlehem, Pa. 



"I brought in from my garden one morning two ears of the Golden Rod Sweet Corn. Each ear was 

 over 10 inches in length, full to the tip, and without a blemish." 



F. 0. DICKINSON, St. Elmo, Tenn. 



GOLDEN BANTAM SWEET CORN 



A Gem for the Small Garden. 



A Small Ear of Remarkable Quality. 



ONE OF THE SWEETEST CORNS GROWN 



Golden Bantam is a dwarf medium early 

 variety of exceptionally good quality and 

 reliability. It is rapidly becoming one of 

 the most popular varieties in our list. While 

 the individual plant and ear are small, it may 

 be planted so much closer than the larger- 

 eared sorts, so that the net product from a 

 given area is about the same as of ordinary 

 sorts. The plant is about 5 feet high, 

 medium early, but of exceptionally good 

 quality. In all respects it is a gem — in 

 size of plant, ear and grain. It is particu- 

 larly well adapted to small gardens, on 

 account of its small size; to the more pre- 

 tentious garden on account of its exces- 

 sive cropping ability on a given area, 

 and to all because of its superb quality 

 and delicious, satisfying 

 or. It may be 

 planted to advan- 

 tage in hills three 

 feet apart each 

 way . If in 

 rows, they 

 should be 

 three feet 

 apart, and 

 the plants 

 standing 

 singly _ at 

 ni n e-inch 

 intervals. 

 It is prob- 

 ably the 

 best to 

 use where 

 only one 

 sort is 

 planted, 



for it succeeds admirably under all conditions. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c.pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck. 



"Our friends think the Golden Bantam Sweet Corn the best they ever ate- 

 and it tastes as good as iyi the East, though the climate here is not considered 

 good for raising corn." 



MISS ELLEN BUTTERFIELD, So. Pasadena. Cal. 



"Our Golden Bantam Sweet Corn from you was a revelation: so succulent, 

 tender and sweet. Our whole fa?nily soon learned to choose the little cream- 

 colored ears when Corn was served at our table." 



MRS. C. L. PORTER, East Orange. N. J. 



IT IS PERHAPS NOT GENERALLY KNOWN THAT SWEET CORN 

 IS MUCH MORE TENDER AND RETAINS ITS FLAVOR 

 BETTER WHEN PUT INTO COLD WATER AND GRAD- 

 UALLY BROUGHT TO THE BOILING POINT
