protect Your Corn Crop 



with Semesan Jr. 



IV2 oz - wiH treat 1 bushel of seed. 



Semesan Jr. dry treat- 

 ment of hybrid Sweet 

 Corn helps to reduce 

 the loss of seed through 

 rotting, which is caused 

 by the harmful fungi 

 such as Diplodia and 

 Gibberella, which are 

 often present in the 

 soil. Besides preventing 

 missing hills due to this 

 cause, it also improves stands and sturdi- 

 ness of the corn seedlings and generally 

 increases the yield. It is safe and easy to 

 apply, and the cost per acre is negligible.

YELLOW MID-SEASON VARIETIES 



CREAM-O-GOLD. 



This variety was introduced by us in 1937 as X100, but due to the shortage of our seed 

 supply, we have been unable to offer it to our market garden customers until now. The 

 plants are exceptionally uniform, and as productive as most of the hybrid varieties. The 

 ears are more slender than any yellow variety in use at the present time, measuring 8 to 9 

 inches long with 8 to 10 rows of kernels that are deep yellow in color. In quality, sweetness 

 and tenderness, Cream-O-Gold is far superior to any Sweet Corn we have ever seen. In 

 season it is slightly later than Golden Cross Bantam, maturing in approximately 88 days.

GOLDEN COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. 



This variety was introduced by us in 1926, and it combines all the sugary sweetness and 

 tenderness of the original Country Gentleman, with the rich, sweet flavor and color of Golden 

 Bantam. The ears are practically as large (averaging 6 to 7 inches long) as White Country 

 Gentleman. The kernels are without row formation, and the remarkable depth of kernel 

 characterizing the white parent, is fully retained in the new variety. The plants are vigorous, 

 uniform and productive, producing two well formed ears to a stalk. Matures in approximately 

 87 days.

CREAM O'GOLD IS THE BERRIES. 



Your naming it Cream of Gold Deluxe is 

 the berries. I don't think you can ever 

 improve on it. I call it the Ideal Sweet 

 Corn. I wish everybody knew about it. I 

 am sure you couldn't supply the demand. 

 I just had to write you in appreciation of 

 this wonderful corn. Many inanks. We 

 will use Cream O'Gold Deluxe from now 

 on.

First of all, I want to observe that in 

 Henderson's Cream O'Gold Corn you have 

 something very, very special. It was the 

 only sweet corn around Bluffton that 

 amounted to a hoot last year. We had a 

 bad drought and the Golden Bantam and 

 all o*her ^eeds in<=t curled ud and died. 

 But the Cream O'Gold stayed green and 

 sturdy and what we considered so sur- 

 prising was that we did not find a single 

 ear that -was worm-infested.
