HENDERSONS POCAHONTAS SWEET CORN 



The result of years of selection of the earliest and best ears of 

 White Cob Corn. It has always maintained its character for 

 earliness. The plants are very uniform in height, the ears are of 

 good size, the rows set close together and the quality is excellent. 

 Price, 60c. qt., $4.25 pk., $16.00 bush. 



GOLDEN BANTAM SWEET CORN 



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. Price, 55c. qt., $3.75 peck, $14.00 bush. 



HENDERSON'S METROPOLITAN SWEET CORN 



A Great Favorite on the Market. Ready Right 

 After the Extra Early Sorts. 



Metropolitan is just about a week later than the very early 

 sorts, and is equal in quality to the main crop varieties. It 

 grows about 5^ ft. high. The ears are 9 inches long, 10 to 12 

 rowed, well filled to the tip with large grains of excellent quality. 

 It is a sturdy plant and grows easily. The ears have a liberal 

 husk, which insures a fresh condition on reaching the market. 

 Price, 60c. qt, $4.25 pk., $16.00 bush. 



DWARF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH KALE 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN SWEET CORN 



Grown almost exclusively for the last marketing. It is one of the 

 best known sorts, and is valued not only for its sureness in 

 crop production, but for its great popularity on the market and 

 remarkably good quality. Our strain is excellent in every respect. 

 (See engraving.) Price, 60c. qt., $4.25 pk., $16.00 bush. 



HENDERSONS COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 

 SWEET CORN 



This is always in great demand for hotel or fancy local trade* 

 where its superb quality commands top prices. It is a main crop 

 variety and our stock is just as good as when we first introduced it. 

 Price, 60c. qt., $4.25 pk., $16.00 bush. 



DWARF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH KALE 



A SPECIALLY FINE STRAIN 



Largely grown for supplying "greens" during the fall, winter and spring; also 

 used small, like spinach; and useful in garnishing. The plants are hardy above 

 zero; frost improves the quality. The leaves are very large, deeply curled and 

 fringed, and of a desirable rich bright green color; the plants are of very dwarf, 

 even growth. This variety is grown extensively in the south for northern 

 markets. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. oz., 50c. 34 lb., $1.50 lb. 



MUSSELBURGH OR SCOTCH CHAMPION LEEK 



This is the best variety for winter and spring use, being very hardy; it keeps 

 well when earthed up. It is of slower growth than American Flag, making 

 immense, stocky stems about 3 inches through by 6 to 8 inches long.y The 

 leaves are broad and flat, and little injured by snow; they recover their fresh, 

 green color quickly in spring. Price, 25c. oz., 85c. J^ lb., $2.75 lb.
