Henderson’s 
Diamond Jubilee Corn 
(A Golden Dent Field Corn) 
Offered this year for the first time in honor of our Diamond Jubilee 
Matures in 110 Days. Small Cob. 70 Pounds of Ears 
Produces 62 Pounds of Shelled Corn 
Henderson’s Diamond Jubilee Golden Dent Corn, 
offered for the first time in honor of our Diamond Jubilee, 
is a cross between a leading Yellow Dent and a large-eared 
white variety, and is a wonderfully prolific yielder. 
The ears average ten to fourteen inches in length, are 
of a beautiful golden-yellow color, and are produced low 
down on the stalk, the average distance being three and 
one-half feet from the base of the ear to the ground. The 
cob is red, small, and firm, and covered with eighteen to twenty- 
two rows of deep, heavy grain. Seventy pounds of ears will, 
when dry, shell sixty to sixty-two pounds of Corn. The ears are of 
surpassing uniformity, which accounts for the extra good yield of 
over one hundred bushels per acre when planted on fairly good corn 
land. 
The stalks grow to a height of from twelve to fourteen 
feet, but are not massive, although of good resisting quality, 
standing up well. The foliage is luxuriant, the stalks being 
furnished to the bottom, making the fodder of exceptional 
feeding value. 
It was raised seven years ago in York County, Pennsyl¬ 
vania, by an expert corn farmer, and by repeated selection 
has been brought to its present excellence. Plenderson’s 
Diamond Jubilee will give a better return on poor or lean 
soil than almost any other variety, as it does not seem 
to require as much plant food as most sorts, although 
the better the soil, the better the corn. According 
to analysis the stalks contain from 4 to G per cent 
of potash. 
It is from ten to fourteen days earlier than 
Long’s Champion, consequently can be planted 
further North, with every chance of fully matur¬ 
ing, rather than that long season variety. 
We recommend planting it, if in hills, three 
and one-half feet apart each way, allowing 
three plants to the hill. When planted in 
rows, allow the same distance between the 
drills and about sixteen inches between 
the plants. 
As there is only a limited quantity of 
seed for sale, we would advise early orders. 
Henderson’s Diamond Jubilee cannot be 
procured from other seedsman or dealers. 
Price, 50 c. per quart; $ 2.75 per peck; 
$ 10.00 per bushel. 
OUR HOHOR ARCH , depicted on 
the second paste of the cover of this 
catalogue illustrates in a striking way 
a few of the numerous improved 
varieties of grains and vegetables 
Peter Henderson & Co. have been the 
tneans of introducing into general 
cidtivation. Henderson's Diamond 
Jubilee Golden Dent Corn offered on 
this page was inadvertently omitted 
from the arch, but its great value 
entitles it to a very prominent place 
thereon.
