"Last year I planted your Continuity Collection of sweet corn, and had corn 
before my neighbors' early corn was ready. 1 also had corn to sell after they had 
used their early corn." N. E. THORPE, Schoolcraft, Mich. 
PLANT FOR ''EXTRA^EARLY” SWEET CORN 
Henderson's Pocahontas (No. i) 
Pochontas Sweet Corn is positively three days earlier than any 
Sweet Corn previously introduced, regardless of the claims made for 
other varieties. We have repeatedly proven this to be so in our trial 
grounds alongside all other early varieties. 
Pocahontas was obtained by the careful and painstaking work 
of a New York truck gardener, to whom carliness meant all, and 
his work was eminently successful. So thoroughly was the work 
done that he was equally successful in retaining all the other features 
with which our patrons are well acquainted. It was essentially and 
emphatically the very earliest Sweet Corn then grown, and, while 
not equal to some of the later varieties for flavor, it is far better in 
this respect than other “extra-early” sorts. 
It is particularly well adapted for very late planting. Many of 
our customers around New York use this for the last planting around 
July 15th. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt, 35c. qt., $1.30 for 
4 qts., $2.50 peck. 
PLANT FOP. "EARLY" SWEET CORN 
Early Champion (No. 2) 
PLANT FOP. "MEDIUM-EARLY" SWEET CORN 
Henderson's Hiawatha (No. 3) 
Earliness, productiveness and delicious quality are the pronounced 
merits of Hiawatha Sweet Corn. 
The ears, about eight inches long, are compactly filled with long, 
plump, pearly-white kernels, so lusciously tender, creamy and sweet 
as to literally “melt in your mouth.” Another valuable feature 
is the length of time the ears remain “in the milk,” the thick husk 
giving splendid protection. The plant grows about five feet high, 
bearing no less than two ears to a stalk, very uniform in shape and 
size. It is ready to use in from nine to ten weeks from planting, 
or only a few days later than the very earliest variety grown. A 
perfect Corn for the home table. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 
20c. pt, 35c. qt, $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck. 
PLANT FOR "LATE" SWEET CORN 
An old and thoroughly tested variety. We include it in this 
collection because it is particularly well adapted to continue the 
line of succession from the earlier sorts. It is admirably adapted to 
private use in every respect, producing liberal sized ears at a com¬ 
paratively early season, excellent in quality, and a safe and sure crop¬ 
per. Price, 10c. pkt, 20c. pt, 30c. qt, $1.10 for 4 qts., $2.00 peck. 
PLANT FOP. "MID-SEASON” SWEET CORN 
The Hender son (No. 4) 
This ideal Corn is ready for the table about two weeks before the 
latest sorts. The Henderson Corn produces uniformly large, thick 
ears, averaging twelve inches in length, being 
compactly filled from butt to tip with long milky 
white kernels of luscious tenderness. The tooth¬ 
some quality is retained for a much longer time 
than with most Corns. The plant is luxuriant, 
healthy and vigorous. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c pt., 
30c. qt., $1.10 for 4 qts., $2.00 peck. 
Stowell's Evergreen (No. 5) 
Now recognized everywhere as a standard va¬ 
riety, both for home use and market, and is the 
general favorite. The ears are of a large size, 
grains deep, exceptionally tender and sugary, and 
have the advantage of remaining longer in the 
green state than any other. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. 
pt, 30c. qt., $1.10 for 4 qts., $2.00 peck. 
CORN, PEAS and BEANS we do NOT deliver free, but will do so if 5c. per pt. or 10c. per qt. is added to the prices
