Henderson’s 
Pocahontas 
127. Pocahontas was obtained by 
the careful, painstaking effort of a New 
York truck-gardener to 
whom earliness meant 
all, and his work was 
| eminently successful. 
The plant is of dwarf 
habit and very robust. 
The ears are of good 
size and are always well 
filled, haying no gaps 
between the rows—a 
common fault of many 
| early sorts. - The flavor 
is excellent for so early 
a variety. While we 
recommend it primarily 
as a first early sort, it 
‘has been found to have 
_great value for the latest 
crops, as it may be 
as late as July 15th, 
_thus prolonging the sea- 
son for Sweet Corn to 
{its utmost length. (See

“After trying many varieties 
of Sweet Corn-I believe that 
your Pocahontas beats them all. 
Tt excels in earliness and pro-

‘PLANT FOR EARLY 
) SWEET CORN 
116. To get the first crop of really good Sweet Corn, grow 
Henderson’s Metropolitan. There has never been any one vari- 
ety of Corn besides Metropolitan that combined the essential 
features of earliness, productiveness and good flavor in a satis- 
factory degree. In these important characteristics, Metropolitan 
certainly outclasses any other variety. It is very little later than 
| Cory, which has been the most popular early sort. i
