HENDERSON'S 



SWEET CORN, WHITE COB CORY AND MAMMOTH 



Astor Sweet Corn 



MATURES QUICKLY . . . TENDER AND EXTREMELY SWEET 



Briefly, this is a smaller and earlier strain of White Cob Cory. The plant is from four to 

 five feet high; sturdy in habit and bearing two ears set 18 inches from the ground. These 

 have from eight to twelve rows of creamy-white grains, arranged in rows so compactly set 

 together that the objectionable space between the rows so characteristic of inferior varieties is 

 entirely eliminated. It has also a capacious husk, which effectually covers every portion cf the 

 ear, thus preserving its creamy color perfectly. The whole ear is of a size admirably suited for 

 private use — sufficient in quantity, but not too large 'for the daintiest table. (See cut.) 

 Price, 15c. pkt, 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $1.85 for 4 qts., $3.50 pk.
