TWO GOLDEN SWEET CORNS 



GOLDEN ROD 



HENDERSON'S 



SWEET CORN 



A Perfect Yellow Sweet Corn of Liberal Size Delicious Golden Grains of Pleasing Flavor 



It is worthy of note that the varieties of Sweet Corn possessing the finest flavor are those 

 that differ radically either in form or color from the ordinary sorts. Thus, Black Mexican and 

 the yellow varieties show a strongly marked divergence from type in the matter of color, and 

 Country Gentleman an equally marked divergence in form, and these varieties excel all 

 others in sweetness and flavor. 



Twenty-five years ago we discarded from our catalogues a yellow seeded Sweet Corn on 

 account of its small size and lack of flavor, and for many years yellow Sweet Corn was 

 practically unknown. In fact when the existing varieties were introduced it was hard to 

 convince the public of their value, but as every one who tasted them became enthusiastic 

 in publishing their praise, they soon came into favor. 



Golden Rod is the result of a cross between Stowell's Evergreen and Golden Bantam, and 

 proves to be a happy and complete blending of each sort. The ear is none too small, nor is it 

 large and bulky, but just large enough for ordinary consumption. The plants are 6 to 7 feet 

 high, strong, profusely leaved, and bear on each stalk at a convenient height, two ears lavishly 

 packed with delicious golden grains of appetizing flavor. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 

 50c. qt., $1.85 for 4 qts., $3.50 peck. 



"Last year 1 sent a small o>der including Golden Rod Corn to try as a novelty. It was planted in my garden 

 at Tyrone, N. C. , and proved very fine indeed. Because of its success I believe you will receive an order from one 

 of my neighbors." Miss MARY G. BEACH, Terre Haute, Ind. 



"Regarding your Golden Rod Corn, would stale that it was a very hard matter to induce my man to give it a trial 

 last year. Now he is convinced that it is far ahead of any other kind, and insists on having it, therefore, I have 

 doubled my order." GEORGE A. HISKEY, So. Bethlehem, Pa. 



GOLDEN BANTAM 



SWEET CORN 



A GEM FOR" THE SMALL GARDEN 

 A SMALL EAR. OF REMARKABLE QUALITY 



ONE OF THE SWEETEST CORNS GROWN 



Golden Bantam is a dwarf medium early varietv 

 of exceptionally good quality and reliability, ft 

 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 

 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 re- 

 spects it is a gem — in size of plant, 

 ear and grain. It is particularly 

 well adapted to small gar- 

 dens, on account of its 

 small size; to the more 

 pretentious garden on 

 account of its excessive 

 cropping ability on a 

 given area, and to all 

 because of its superb 

 quality and delicious, 

 satisfying flavor. It 

 may be planted to 

 advantage i n 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 cut.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 20c. pt, 35c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck. 



"Our friends think the Golden Bantam Sweet Corn the best they ever ate, and 

 it tastes as good as in the Ea<:t though the climate here is not considered good for 

 raising Corn." Miss ELLEN BUTTERFIELD, So. Pasadena, Cat. 



"Our Golden Bantam Sweet Corn from you was a revelation; so succulent, ten- 

 der and sweet. Our whole family soon learned to choose the little cream-colored 

 ears when Corn was served at our table." 



Mrs. C. L. PORTER, East Orange, N. J.
