PLANT FOR "EXTRA EARLY" SWEET CORN 



Henderson's POCAHONTAS 



POSITIVELY THE EARLIEST VARIETY GROWN 



Pocahontas Sweet Corn is positively 3 days earlier than any 

 other Sweet Corn grown, regardless of the claims for earliness 

 made for some other varieties, for we have proven it so in our 

 trial grounds for three years alongside all other early varieties 

 offered by other houses. 



Pocahontas is the result of a selection for several years from 

 the White Cob Cory. Its merits in addition to earliness are 

 uniformity of plant to type, constitution and productiveness. 

 The ears are stout, evenly and compactly filled with tender white 

 kernels of very fine quality for so early a variety. The plants are 

 dwarf and stocky, enabling them to be closely planted; usually two 

 ears are borne on a stalk and often three. It is not only the best 

 first early Sweet Corn, but it is valuable to plant late in 

 summer for autumn use. (See cut.) Price, 10c 

 pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.25 for four qts., 

 $2.00 pk. 



PRAISE FOR POCAHONTAS 

 SWEET COKN 



"Your Pocahontas Sweet Corn 

 wonder. We had corn for the table 

 from it on July 13th which is at least 

 ten days ahead of any other in this 

 locality. Every stalk carried two 

 and sometimes three ears filled with 

 large plump kernels." 



JAS. S. WILLIAMS, 

 Owego, N. Y. 

 "Last year was our first trial 

 of Pocahontas Sweet Corn and 

 it was very much earlier than 

 other sorts we have tried, and 

 much nicer in every way. " 



Mrs. B. F. CARPENTER, 

 6 South 68ih St., 

 West Duluth: Minn. 

 " You have all the seedsmen 

 'skinned' on Early Sugar Corn 

 in your Pocahontas. We 

 pulled our first ears on the 8th 

 of July — a week ahead of Min- 

 nesota and Floracroft Beauty, 

 and 10 days ahead of Extra 

 Early Market — all planted at 

 the same time. These sorts have 

 always been the earliest around 

 here. " W. T. BOSWORTH, 



Newport, Ohio. 



PLANT FOR 

 "EARLY" SWEET CORN 



GOLDEN 



ONE OF THE SWEETEST 

 COKNS GKOWN 



Golden Bantam is a dwarf-growing early 

 variety. The plant attains a height of 

 only 3 to 4 feet, usually bearing two or more 

 ears about 5 inches long to a stalk. These 

 little fat ears are compactly filled with ker- 

 nels which when ready for the table are 

 cream-yellow, so lusciously sweet, tender 

 and milky that some people claim it "the 

 sweetest Corn on earth." Golden Bantam 

 is one of the hardiest Corns grown, there- 

 fore can be planted earlier with safety 

 than other varieties. This chai^acteristic 

 also adapts it to localities having cool 

 summer weather, a continuous supply 

 being maintained bv successive planting. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.25 

 for four quarts, $2.00 pk. 



" When Golden Bantam Sweet Corn is served at 

 our table with other kinds on the platter Golden 

 Bantam is invariably selected by the family for its 

 delicious flavor and tenderness." 



Mrs. P. L. White, Zanesville. Ohio.

PLANT FOR "MEDIUM EARLY" SWEET CORN 



Henderson's HIAWATHA 



Earliness, productiveness and delicious quality are the pro- 

 nounced merits of our new Hiawatha Sugar-Sweet Corn. 



The ears, about eight inches long, are comjjactly filled with 

 long, plump, pearly-white kernels, so lusciously tender, creamy 

 and sweet as to literally "melt in your mouth." Another valu- 

 able feature is the length of time the ears remain "in the milk," 

 the thick husk giving splendid protection. The plant grows 

 about five feet high, bearing no less than two ears to a stalk 

 and frequently three ears, all very uniform in shape and size. 

 It is very early, being ready to use in from nine to ten weeks 

 from planting, or only a few days later than the very earliest 

 variety grown. A perfect Corn for the home table. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.25 for four qts., $2.00 pk. 



Your Hiawatha Sweet Corn was delicious." 



ROBERT SIMPSON, Vineland, N. J. 

 I had good success with your Hiawatha Sweet Corn. 

 It was the best of the 5 kinds I used."
