-Henderson’s Pocahontas 
27. acanontas was obtained by the careful, painstaking effort of a 
ew York truck-gardener to whom earliness meant all, and his work 
ras eminently successful. The plant is of dwarf habit and very robust. 
"he ears are of good size and are always well filled, having no gaps 
xetween 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.)

-Early Champion sweet corn is but a few days later than the extra early 
varieties, and exceeds them in quality and sweetness. The ears measure 
‘the majority will have twelve rows. The pure white kernels are plump, 
tender and very palatable. 
Early Champion is also a very productive variety and matures in about 
sixty days, depending upon the nature of the soil and climate. It is one 
of the best sweet corns for the home garden, and we highly recommend it.
