EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Farm Seeds 



Long's Champion Yellow Dent Corn 



In the last 15 years on a section of 90 acres this Corn has 



yielded an average of 133 bushels of Shelled Corn per 



acre and has yielded as high as 160 bushels 



This King of Corns is without doubt the finest, the largest 

 and the most productive Yellow Dent Corn ever produced, 

 and will be found to be of great value to the farmer, espe- 

 cially in the Middle and Eastern States, where from 120 to 

 130 days of good Corn-growing weather can be relied upon; 

 on account of its immense yield, at least 25 per cent, and 

 often 50 per cent, more than can be obtained from the old- 

 type varieties. 



The ears are of immense size, 12 to 14 inches in length, 8 

 to 11 inches in circumference, carrying 20 to 24 uniform rows 

 of long, large kernels well developed over tip and butt. It is 

 a luxuriant grower, about 12 to 15 feet high, and in Lebanon 

 County, Pa., where it originated, has never failed to mature 

 by September 20th, when planted during the first half of 

 May. Long's Champion is the result of years of 

 breeding and selection by Mr. I. S. Long, 

 of the Pennsylvania Corn Belt.

Field Corn 



Henderson's 

 Diamond Jubilee Corn 



Matures in 110 Days. Small Cobb. 70 Pounds of 

 Ears Produces 62 Pounds of Corn 

 Henderson's Diamond Jubilee Golden Dent Corn, of- 

 fered for the first time in honor of our Diamond Jubi- 

 lee, is a cross between a leading Yellow Dent and a 

 large-eared white variety, and is a wonderfully prolific 

 yielder. 



The ears average ten to fourteen inches in length, 

 are of a beautiful golden-yellow color, and are pro- 

 duced low down on the stalk. The cob is red, small, 

 and firm, and covered with eighteen to twenty-two 

 rows of deep, heavy grain. Seventy pounds of the 

 ears will, when dry, shell sixty to sixty-two pounds of 

 Corn. The ears are of surpassing uniformity, which 

 accounts for the extra good yield of over one hundred 

 bushels per acre when planted on good corn land. 



The stalks grow to a height of from twelve to four- 

 teen feet, but are not massive, although of good resist- 

 ing quality, standing up well. The foliage is luxuriant, 

 the stalks being furnished to the bottom, making the 

 fodder of exceptional feeding value. 



It was raised seven years ago in York County, 

 Pennsylvania, by an expert corn farmer, and by re- 

 peated selection has been brought to its present ex- 

 cellence. Henderson's Diamond Jubilee will give a 

 better return on poor or lean soil than almost any 

 other variety, as it does not seem to require as much 

 plant food as most sorts, although the better the soil, 

 the better the corn. According to analysis the stalks 

 contain from 4 to 6 per cent, of potash. 

 It is from ten to fourteen days earlier than Long's Cham- 

 pion, consequently can be planted further North, with every 

 chance of fully maturing, rather than that long season 

 variety. 



We recommend planting it in hills, three and one-half feet 

 apart each way, allowing three plants to the hill. When 

 planted in rows allow the same distance between the drills 

 and about sixteen inches between the plants. 



As there is only a limited quantity of seed for sale, we 

 would advise early orders. Henderson's Diamond Jubilee 

 cannot be procured from other seedmen or dealers. (See en- 

 graving.) Price, 40c. qt., $1.60 peck, $5.50 bushel, 10-biishel 

 lots, $5.40 per bushel. 



Extra Early Yellow Flint Corn 



This is a valuable addition to the Flint varieties of Field 

 Corn. It is the earliest variety in existence and especially 

 adapted to Northern conditions (cool nights and short sum- 

 mers) and under favorable conditions the yield is immense. 

 The ears are eight-rowed, remarkably long, frequently meas- 

 uring 15 inches and over, of a rich amber color, thickly set 

 with large broad kernels. The stalks are of medium height. 

 In ordinary seasons it will mature in ninety days, and can 

 be shelled and ground for feed earlier than any other large- 

 yielding variety. It is especially valuable in sections where 

 Corn cannot be planted before the middle of June. With 

 good cultivation Extra Early Yellow Flint will yield 90 

 bushels of shelled Corn per acre. Considering that it 

 is an eight-rowed early sort this is an excellent 

 yield. Specially recommended for planting 

 in northern New York, Connecticut 

 and Massachusetts. (See cn- 

 graviyig.) Price, 40c. qt., 

 $1.50 per peck, $5.00 

 per bn., 10 bu. 

 lots, $4.90.
