LONG'S CHAMPION 



YELLOW 

 DENT 



CORN 



This King of Corns is without doubt the ifinest, the largest and the most productive Yellow 

 Dent Corn ever produced, and will be found to be of great value to the farmer, especially in 

 the Middle and Eastern States, on account of its immense yield, at least 25 per cent, and often 

 50 per cent, more than can be obtained from the average old-type Corns generally planted. 

 Long's Champion is the climax of 25 years of Corn breeding and selection by Mr. I. S. Long, 

 one of the most successful and progressive farmers in the Pennsylvania Corn belt. 

 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. There is but a limited quantity 

 of seed for sale, which can only Be had through us. (See cut.) Price, $1.10 pk., $3.50 bu., 10-bu. lots, 

 $3.40 per bu. 



"The enclosed photograph shows a picture of myself standing amongst my bumper crop of Long's Champion 

 Corn. As you will notice, it is at least IJtft. high. The ears are immense , fully 14 in. long, well developed at 

 the tip, and growing close to the butt. 



The crop ripened inside of 110 days, and certainly yielded one-third more to the acre than any corn I ever 

 grew before on my farm." JOHN LYONS, Altorney-at-Law, Rockville Centre, L. I. 



HENDERSON'S EUREKA CORN 



One of the finest and most productive field Corns grown; it is a tremendous yielder — 150 bushels of 



shelled Corn per acre is not unusual. The plants grow 12 to 15 feet high, a large proportion of them 



bearing two immense ears to the stalk; the ears are very handsome, averaging 12 to 15 inches long, 



with small red cob covered full, and over both butt and tip ends with 18 to 22 even rows of 



large, deep grain of a rich orange-yellow color. It is fairly early for so large a Dent Corn, 



but, of course, does not mature as quickly as the small early Dent and Flint varieties, 



-" *• but where 100 to 110 days of " Corn weather'' are assured, it is the Corn to grow. It 



gives unqualified satisfaction from Connecticut to Ohio and south, but north of that 



latitude we do not advise planting it unless in favored localities. (See cut, page 



68.) Price, 75c. pk., $2.50 bu., 10-bu. lots, $2.40 per bu. 



"The Eureka Corn that I got from you last Spring is certainly remarkable, 

 about 15 ft. high and the ears 1 foot long. The farmers from my section are com- 

 ing to look at it and advise me to take it to ojir fair to be held next week."

 nels, small cob. Ears 2 to 3 feet from the ground. Plant leafy and luxuriant,

HENDERSON'S 



JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT 



This grand variety, introduced by us several years ago, has 

 proven a bonanza to Buckwheat raisers in this country. It is of 

 strong, branching growth, stands up well and produces from two to 

 four times as much grain as any other variety under same conditions. 

 It is also fully a week earlier. The seed of our Japanese variety 

 is nearly as large again as that of other Buckwheats; it makes the 

 finest flour and for bees has practically displaced all other sorts 

 where known. 



The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station reports that it has 

 grown Henderson's New Japanese Buckwheat for two years, .and 

 has found it superior to the old varieties in several important respects. 

 I' It is larger and stronger, and stands up better during storms, and 

 its seeds are larger but what places it far ahead of other varieties 

 is that of setting full crops of Buckwheat in dry, hot weather. It 

 can also be sown much earlier than other varieties, thus avoiding 

 loss by early frost. " 



Henderson's Japanese Buckwheat seed is grown from the largest 

 Japanese type imported by us for stock seed and is therefore im- 

 mensely superior to that grown here for several seasons whereby 

 it has deteriorated. (See cut.) Price, SOc. pk., $1.80 per bu. 

 of 48 lbs., 10-bu. lots, $1.70 per bu. 



" Truly, the Japanese Buckwheat is one of the greatest improvements, 

 in a single line of grain, of the present age. All other kinds of Buck- 

 wheat can be well thrown aside; and not only the bee-keepers of our 

 land, but farmers in general, can unite in tendering a vote of thanks 

 to our enterprising seedsman Peter Henderson." — GLEANINGS IN 

 BEE CULTURE. 



"I had a small quantity of Japanese Buckwheat from you last year, 

 which I planted on the 5th day of July, and from this I cut, and had 

 in good, clean Buckwheat, 1,392 pounds, which ripened earlier and has 

 produced more than three times the yield of the Silver Hull with the 

 same culture." DAVID BEAM, Midvale, N. J.
