WINTER QUEEN CELERY. 
THE FINEST OF ALL FOR WINTER USE. 
Golden Bantam cw 
ONE OF THE SWEETEST CORNS GROWN. 
Golden Bantam is a dwarf-growing early variety. The plant 
attains a height of only 3 to 4 feet, usually bearing two or more 
ears about 5 inches long to a stalk. These little fat ears are 
compactly filled with kernels which when ready for the table are 
cream-ydlow, so lusciously sweet, tender and milky that some 
people claim it “the sweetest corn on earth.” Golden Bantam is 
one of the hardiest corns grown, therefore can be planted earlier 
with safety than other varieties. This characteristic also adapts 
it to localities having cool summer weather, a continuous supply 
being mai ntained by successive sowings. 
Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pint, 35c. quart, $2.00 peck. 
HENDERSON'S SWEET CORN 
POCAHONTAS. 
POSITIVELY THE EARLIEST VARIETY CROWN. 
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 two years alongside all other early varieties 
PROPERLY STORED, THIS MOST DELICIOUS OF ALL CELERIES MAY 
BE ENJOYED FROM DECEMBER TO MAY. 
Henderson’s Winter Queen has been bred from the standard long- 
keeping celery—Henderson’s Golden Dwarf — over which it is a grand 
improvemcnt. It has the same robust, stocky growth — requiring but little 
labor in earthing up for blanching—and makes heavy, broad and solid 
he art stalks, free from pith and string, which blanch creamy-white and 
are so crisply tender that, held by the head, a stalk will almost break of 
its own weight. In quality it is not surpassed by any celery grown, the 
esteemed “sweet, nutty flavor” being noticed the moment tasted. It is 
so hardy in constitution that neither heart nor outside stalks are liable to 
rot v hen trenched for the winter, keeping well into late spring in prime 
condition. In bunching there is very little waste, for the enormous hearts 
require but little trimming. We consider this the very best type and 
strain of v inter-keeping celery in existence. {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 
40c. oz., $1.25 34 lb., $4.00 lb. 
“ You do not give your Winter Queen Celery half the praise it deserves. It is hy far the 
best-flavored, crispest and longest-keeping Celery I have ever raised." 
CHAS. II. BUCK, Springfield, Mass. 
“/ have grown some of your Winter Queen Celery and it was the best I 
have ever seen around here, in fact better than that which is on the market. 
I had Winter Queen Celery that measured 18 to 20 inches and weighed 2\ 
to 2$ lbs. It is nice and crisp and you do not give the Winter Queen the 
praise it ought to have." Mrs. II. DUBBERKE, Schenectady, N. Y. 
“ I obtained good results from your Winter Queen Celery. From last 
year's crop have some fine Winter Queen yet." 
McBRIDE HOLT, Graham, N. C. 
“/ raised Winter Queen Celery last season and the results far exceeded 
my expectation."

PRAISE FOR POCAHONTAS SWEET CONN. 
ofTere.l by other houses. 
Pocahontas is the result of a selection for several years from 
the White Cob Cory. Its merits in addition to earliness are 
uniformity of plant to type, constitution and productiveness. 
The ears are stout, evenly and compactly filled with tender white 
kernels of very fine quality for so earlv a variety. (See cut.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 pk. 
“ You have all the seedsmen “ skinned" on Early Sugar Corn in your Pocahontas. 
We pulled our first ears on the 8th of July—a week ahead of Minnesota and 
Floracroft Beauty, atid 10 days ahead of Extra Early Market — all planted at 
the same time. These sorts have always been the earliest around here. 
I would like to know of a sugar corn that will beat or equal your Pocahontas in 
earliness and size of ears."
