PLANT FOR MID-SEASON SWEET CORN 



HENDERSON'S AstOf OWeCt L^Om THE. "HENDERSON" (No. 4) 



Matures Quickly — Tender and Extremely Sweet 



Briefly, this is a smaller and earlier strain of White Cob Corn. The plant is from 

 4 to 5 feet high; sturdy in habit and bearing two ears Set 18 inches from the ground. 

 These have from eight to twelve rows of creamy-white grains, arranged in rows so 

 compactly set together that the objectionable space between the rows so character- 

 istic of inferior varieties is entirely eliminated. It has also a capacious husk, which 

 effectually covers every portion of the ear, thus preserving its creamy color per- 

 fectly. The whole ear is of a size admirably suited for private use — sufficient in 

 quantity,' but not too large for the daintiest table. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. 

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

These collections are made up of 5 varieties to supply the home table continu- 

 ously throughout the season with tender, milky and delicious Sweet Corn. They 

 are numbered to indicate their respective seasons of maturing. The selection is 

 made primarily for quality and may be perfectly relied on not only in this respect, 

 but also as regards its continuity. The entire collection should be planted at 

 one time, otherwise the succession will be broken. These collections are put up 

 in three sizes — packet, pint and quart, and will be found of great convenience, 

 especially to those unfamiliar with varieties.

PLANT FOR EXTRA EARLY SWEET CORN 



HENDERSON'S POCAHONTAS (No. 1) 



Pocahontas was obtained by the careful, painstaking effort of a New York truck 

 gardener to whom earliness meant all, and his work was eminently successful. The 

 plant is of dwarf habit and very robust. The ears are of good size and are always 

 well filled, having no gaps between the rows — a common fault of many early sorts. 

 The flavor is excellent for so early a variety. While we recommend it primarily as a 

 first early sort, it has been found to have great value for the latest crops, as it may be 

 planted in this vicinity as late as July 15th, thus prolonging the season for Sweet 

 Corn to its utmost length. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., 

 $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck. 



PLANT FOR EARLY SWEET CORN 



EARLY CHAMPION 



(No. 2) 



An old and thoroughly tested variety. We include it in this collection because it 

 is particularly well adapted to continue the line of succession from the earlier sorts. 

 It is admirably adapted to private use in every respect, producing liberal sized ears 

 at a comparatively early season, excellent in quality, and a safe and sure cropper. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 2'Oc. pt., 30c. qt., $1.10 for 4 qts., $2.00 peck. 



PLANT FOR MEDIUM EARLY SWEET CORN 



HENDERSON'S HIAWATHA (No. 3) 



Earliness, productiveness and delicious quality are the pronounced merits of 

 Hiawatha Sweet Corn. The ears, about 8 inches long, are compactly filled with 

 long, plump, pearly-white kernels, lusciously tender, creamy and sweet. Another 

 valuable feature is the length of time the ears remain "in the milk," the thick husk 

 giv-ing splendid protection. The plant grows about 5 feet high, bearing no less than 

 two ears to a stalk, very uniform in shape and size. It is ready to use in from nine 

 to ten weeks from planting, and can be confidently recommended as a perfect Sweet 

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



This ideal Corn is ready for the table about a week 

 before the latest sorts. The "Henderson" Corn pro- 

 duces uniformly large, thick ears, compactly filled from 

 butt to tip with long, milky white kernels of luscious 

 tenderness. The delicious quality is retained for a 

 much longer time than with most Corns. The plant is 

 luxuriant, healthy and vigorous. Price, 10c. pkt., 

 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.10 for 4 qts., $2.00 peck. 



PLANT FOR LATE SWEET CORN 



STO WELL'S EVERGREEN (No. 5) 



Long recognized everywhere as a standard variety, 

 both for home use and market, and is a 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., 20c. pt, 30c. qt., $1.10 for 4 qts., $2.00 peck. 



" Wish you could see our corn grown from your Stowell's Ever- 

 green Corn seed. It is the finest on the market."
