PLANT FOR MID-SEASON 

 SWEET CORN 



This ideal Corn is read} - for the table about a week before the latest sorts. 

 The "Henderson" Corn produces 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. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 

 35c. pt., 60c. qt., S2.25 for 4 qts. 



" We had splendid results from the 'Henderson' Sweet Corn and all other seeds bought from you 

 last year."

PLANT FOR EXTRA EARLY SWEET CORN 



Henderson's Pocahontas 



Pocahontas was obtained by the careful, pains- 

 taking effort of a Xew York truck-gardener to 

 whom earliness meant all, and his work was emi- 

 nently 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 loth, thus prolonging the season for Sweet 

 Corn to its utmost length. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt, $3.00 for 4 qts. 



"After trying many varieties of Sweet Corn I believe that 

 your Pocahontas beats them all. It excels in earliness and 

 productiveness." 



LAWREXCE GEMPERLE. Mars. Pa. 



" Your Pocahontas Sweet Corn is a wonder. We had corn 

 from it on July lith, and every stalk is filled with large, plump 

 ears." 



J. H. DOUGLAS. Ithaca. N. V. 



"I would like to know of a Sugar Corn that will beat or equal 

 your Pocahontas Sweet Corn. We pulled the first ears of it 

 today. July 8th, and no doubt we could have found plent\ o- 

 the 4th." 



W. T. BOSWORTB. Newport, Ohio. 



" My father before me bought seeds from Peter Henderson &• 

 Co. and I followed him. We have been patrons fa « 

 years, with uniform and continuous satisfaction." 

 Jan. 30, 1917. E. P. Burns. Atlanta, Ga.
