34 EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN-Vegetable Seeds 
Henderson’s Astor Sweet Corn 
MATURES QUICKLY—TENDER AND EXTREMELY SWEET 
Briefly, this is a smaller and earlier strain of White Cob Corn. The plant is from 4 to 5 feet high; sturdy in habit and bearing 
two ears set 18 inches from the ground. These have from 8 to 12 rows of creamy-white grains, arranged in rows so compactly set 
together that the objectionable space between the rows so characteristic of inferior varieties is entirely eliminated. It has also a 
capacious husk, which effectually covers every portion of the ear, thus preserving its creamy color perfectly. The whole ear is of a 
size admirably suited for private use — sufficient in quantity, but not too large for the daintiest table. (See engraving.) Price, 
16c. pkt., 46c. pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts. 
Golden Bantam Sweet Com 
Golden Bantam is a dwarf medium early variety of exceptionally good quality and reliability. 
Is is rapidly becoming one of the most popular varieties in our list. While the individual 
plant and ear 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 respects it is a 
gem—in size of plant, ear and grain. It is particularly well adapted to small gardens, 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 in 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 engrav¬ 
ing.) Price, 16c. pkt., 46c. pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts. 
must tell you of our success last season with Golden Bantam Sweet Corn. The 
season was very bad, and think we were about the only ones in town who had 
sweet corn." 
Feb. 24, 1917. Mrs. W. E. HART, Elyria, Ohio. 
“/ was delighted with your Golden Bantam Sweet Corn last year. I had 138 
ears of perfect sweet corn from one packet of seeds.” 
April 2, 1917. Mrs. S. P. MORGAN, Roselte Park, N. J. 
“ The Sweet Corn I got from you last year was grand. I had the best 
corn in this neighborhood.” 
April 17, 1916. J. S. PARKS, Colutnbus, Ohio. 
“ Henderson's seeds have always given the best of satisfaction to me. 
My Golden Bantam Sweet Corn was far superior to my neighbors' who 
Purchased the seed locally.” 
'■ CHARLES E. HART, Elmira, N. Y. 
11 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 succu¬ 
lent, tender and sweet. Our whole family soon learned to choose the little 
cream-colored ears when Corn was served at ‘Stir table.” 
Mrs. C. L. PORTER, East Orange, N. J.
