PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE 



HENDERSON'S 



Pocahontas Sweet Corn. 



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. In addition to earliness and uniformity of plant 

 it is remarkably productive. The ears are stout, evenly and com- 

 pactly filled with tender white kernels of very fine quality for 

 so early a variety. (See cut.) Price, 25c. qt., $1.50 pk., $5.00 bush. 



WHITE COB CORY SWEET CORN. 



A Popular Extra Early. 



An extremely early variety, usually fit to use in from fifty to 

 sixty days from seed sowing. It retains all the good qualities of its 

 parent the red cob variety, but has a white cob. The plants are 

 dwarf and stocky, enabling them to be closely planted. It is 

 not only a first early but is valuable to plant late for autumn use. 

 Price, 25c. qt., $1.40 pk., $4.50 bush. 



Hendersons METROPOLITAN SWEET CORN. 



The Largest and Most Productive Extra Early. 



Combines earliness and good flavor. Only two days later than 

 Cory. The plant is strong in stalk, growing 5i feet in height; 

 leaves numerous, narrow and dark green. The ears, two or 

 three to the plant, are all set low. They are uniformly 9 inches 

 long, 10 to 12 rowed, well filled to the tip with large, deep grains, 

 which are very tender. It is not merely sweet, but possesses that 

 exquisite richness so well known in the larger and later sorts. 

 An ample husk insures its remaining in the " milk " longer than 

 is usual with early varieties. Price, 25c. qt., $1.40 pk., $4.50 bush. 



Hendersons Hiawatha Sweet Corn. 



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

 long, plump, pearly-white kernels, lusciously tender and sweet. 

 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. (See cut.) Price, 25c. qt., $1.40 pk., $4.50 bush. 



EARLY CHAMPION SWEET CORN. 



Early Champion is destined to become the leader among medium 

 early sweet corns. It is the earliest large variety grown, being 

 but a few days later than small extra earlies. It is as early as 

 Crosby, yet it is as large, and often larger, than Concord. Early 

 Champion is a 12-rowed variety, with large handsome ears filled 

 with plump, deep white kernels, that retain their milky tenderness 

 for an unusually long period. Quality and flavor surpassingly fine. 

 Price, 20c. qt., $1.20 pk., $4.00 bush. 



THE "HENDERSON" SWEET CORN. 



This ideal corn follows after the early varieties, and about two 

 weeks before the latest sorts, producing large, thick ears, averag- 

 ing twelve inches in length, being compactly filled from butt to 

 tip with long milky-white kernels of luscious tenderness. The 

 plants are luxuriant growers and prolific. One of the most valuable 

 sorts for canning and market. Price, 20c. qt., $1.25 pk., $4.26 bush. 



HENDERSON'S 



COUNTKY GENTLEMAN SWEET CORN. 



Is the finest of all Sweet Corns. It retains its tenderness and 

 flavor even when a little old, as the ears are enclosed in a heavy 

 husk, which tends to keep the ear " in the milk " for several days 

 longer than other corns. The ears average eight to nine inches in 

 length, cob small; plump white kernels of great depth fill the ear 

 from end to end. It is a very safe and reliable cropper. Price, 25c. 

 qt., $1.40 pk., $4.50 bush. 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN SWEET CORN. 



Now recognized everwhere as a standard variety. Our stock 

 has been carefully grown and selected to avoid the tendency to a 

 shorter grain and deterioration in the evergreen character of this 

 best of all late sorts. Price, 20c. qt., $1.20 pk., $4.00 bush.
