36 EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN—Vegetable Seeds 
Henderson’s Cupid Sweet Corn 
Offered for the First Time in 1923 
Superlatively Sweet—Temptingly Tender—A Delicious Morsel 
Heavy Crops on Small Plots Are Now Possible 
110. HENDERSON’S NEW CUPID is one of the earliest varieties— 
by this we mean that it grows and is fit for eating in a shorter period 
of time, than almost any other variety. The “whiteness” of the 
kernels is also a marked feature and, as may be seen by the illustra- 
tion opposite, they are truly as white as “driven snow.” Z 
The ears grow to a length of five or six inches, and each ear has 
an ample stem or handle, which should be left on when cut, so that 
when served at the table the ear will be more convenient to hold. 
Served in this manner, and eaten from the ear, it makes a very dainty 
and delicious morsel. Our grower remarked when testing this corn 
for quality, that he had been growing sugar corn for a great many 
years, and knew all the leading varieties, but that he was sure that 
HENDERSON’S NEW CUPID SWEET CORN excelled them all. 
One of the most desirable characteristics of HENDERSON’S NEW 
CUPID SWEET CORN is well pictured in the illustration, namely, 
the dwarf size of the stalks, which never attain a height of more than 
four feet, enabling the suburbanite to raise twice as much corn on 
the same space of ground. 
This year we have accumulated enough stock to justify us in again 
offering Cupid Sweet Corn to our customers in pints and quarts.

Golden Bantam 
Sweet Corn 
oc, A Gem for the Small Garden. 
A Small Ear of Remarkable 
Quality 
ONE OF THE SWEETEST 
SUGAR CORNS GROWN 
119. Golden Bantam is a 
dwarf medium, early vari- 
ety 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 froma given area is about 
the same as of ordinary 
sorts. The plant is about 5 
feet high, medium early, but 
of exceptionally good qual- 
ity. In all respects it is a ; ‘ 
gem—in size of plant, ear and grain. It is particularly 
well adapted to small gardens, on account ofits small size; 
to the more pretentious garden on account of its exces- 
sive cropping ability on a-given area, and to all because 
of its superb quality and delicious, satisfying flavor. It 
may be planted to advantage in hills three feet apart 
each way. If in rows, they should be three feet apart, 
and the plants standing singly at nine-inch intervals. It 
is probably the best to use where only one sort is planted, 
for it succeeds admirably under all conditions. (See 
engraving.) Price, l5e. pkt., 45e. pt., 85e. qt., $2.75 for 
half peck. : ; 
PLANT FOR MID-SEASON SWEET CORN e 
The “Henderson” 
138. This ideal Corn is ready for the table about a week 3 
before the latest sorts. The “Henderson” Corn produces — 
uniformly large, thick ears, compactly filled from putt to 2 
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, 10e. pkt., 45e. pt., 85¢. qt., $2.75 for 
half peck. :

“We had splendid results from the ‘Henderson’ Sweel Corn and 
all other seeds bought from you last year. .

It is perhaps not generally known that Sweet Corn is much more tender and retains its favor better when put into cold 
water and gradually brought to the boiling point. : ;
