i TWO GOLDEN SWEET CORNS 
HENDERSON'S QQLDEN ROD SWEET CORN 
A Perfect Yellow Sweet Corn of Liberal Size Delicious Golden Grains of Pleasing Flavor 
It is worthy of note that the varieties of Sweet Corn possessing the finest flavor are those 
that differ radically either in form or color from the ordinary sorts. Thus, Black Mexican and 
the yellow varieties show a strongly marked divergence from type in the matter of color, and 
Country Gentleman an equally marked divergence in form, and these varieties excel all 
others in sweetness and flavor. 
Twenty-five years ago we discarded from our catalogues a yellow seeded Sweet Corn on 
account of its small size and lack of flavor, and for many years yellow Sweet Corn was 
practically unknown. In fact when the existing varieties were introduced it was hard to 
convince the public of their value, but as every one who tasted them became enthusiastic 
in publishing their praise, they soon came into favor. 
Golden Rod is the result of a cross between Stowell’s Evergreen and Golden Bantam, and 
proves to be a happy and complete blending of each sort. The ear is none too small, nor is it 
large and bulky, but just large enough for ordinary consumption. The plants are 6 to 7 feet 
high, strong, profusely leaved, and bear on each stalk at a convenient height, two ears lavishly 
packed with delicious golden grains of appetizing flavor. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt.. 30c. pt. 
50c. qt., $1.85 for 4 qts., $3.50 peck. 
“Last year I sent a small order including Golden Rod Corn to try as a novelty. It was planted in my garden 
at Tyrone, N. C\, and proved very fine indeed. Because of its success 1 believe you will receive an order from one 
of my neighbors.'' Miss MARY G. BEACII, Terre Haute, Ind. 
Kcgardtng your Golden Rod Corn, would state that it was a very hard matter to induce my man to give it a trial 
last year. Now he is convinced that it is far ahead of any other kind, and insists on having it, therefore I have 
doubled my order." GEORGE A. HISKEY, So. Bethlehem, Pa. 
IT IS PERHAPS NOT GENERALLY KNOWN THAT SWEET CORN IS 
MUCH MORE TENDER. AND RETAINS ITS FLAVOR BETTER

GOLDEN BANTAM 
SWEET CORN 
A GEM FOR’THE SMALL GARDEN 
A SMALL EAR, OF REMARKABLE QUALITY 
ONE OF TF1E SWEETEST CORNS GROWN 
Golden Bantam is a dwarf medium early varietv 
of exceptionally good quality and reliability. It 
is rapidly becoming one of the most popular 
varieties in our list. While the individual plant 
and car are small, it may be planted so much closer 
than the larger-eared sorts, so that the net product 
from a given area is about the same as of ordinary 
sorts. The plant is about 5 feet high, medium 
early, but of exceptionally good quality. In all re¬ 
spects it is a gem—in size of plant, 
ear and grain. It is particularly 
well adapted to small gar¬ 
dens, on account of its 
small size; to the more 
pretentious garden on 
account of its excessive 
cropping ability on a 
given area, and to all 
because of its superb 
quality and delicious, 
satisfying flavor. It 
may be planted to 
advantage i n hills 
three feet apart each 
way. If in rows, they 
should be three feet 
apart, and the plants standing singly at nine inch intervals. It is 
probably the best to use where only one sort is planted, for it 
succeeds admirably under all conditions. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 
pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck. 
“ Our friends think the Golden Bantam Sweet Corn the best they ever ate, and 
it tastes as good as in the East though the climate here is not considered good for 
raising Corn." Miss ELLEN BUTTERFIELD, So. Pasadena, Cal. 
"Our Golden Bantam Sweet Corn from you was a revelation; so succulent, ten¬ 
der and sweet. Our whole family soon learned to choose the little cream-colored 
ears when Corn was served at our table." 
Mrs. C. L. PORTER, East Orange, N. J.
