LONG'S CHAMPION
YELLOW DENT CORN
For the last 10 years on a section of 90 acres this Corn has yielded an average of 133 bushels of
shelled Corn per acre and has yielded as high as 160 bushels
This King of Corns is without doubt the finest, the largest and the most productive Yellow Dent Corn
ever produced, and will be found to be of great value to the farmer, especially in the Middle and Eastern
States, where from 120 to 130 days of good Corn growing weather can be relied upon; on account of its-
immense yield, at least 25 per cent, and often 50 per cent, more than can be obtained from the average
old-type Corns generally planted.
Long's Champion is the climax of 25 years of Corn breeding and selection by Mr. I. S. Long, one of the
most successful and progressive farmers in the Pennsylvania Corn belt.
The ears are of immense size, 12 to 14 inches in length, 8 to. 11 inches in circumference carrying 20
to 24 uniform rows of long, large kernels well developed over tip and butt. It is a luxuriant grower, about
12 to 15 feet high, and in Lebanon County, Pa., where it originated, has never failed to mature by September
20th, when planted during the first half of May. There is but a limited quantity of seed for sale, which
can only be had through us. (See cut.) Price, $1.00 pk., $3.25 bushel, 10-bushel lots, $3.15 per bushel.
HENDERSON'S EUREKA CORN
One of the finest and most productive field Corns grown; it is a tremendous yielder — 150 bushels of
shelled Corn per acre is not unusual. The plants grow 12 to 15 feet high, a large proportion of them bearing
two immense ears to the stalk; the ears are very handsome, averaging 12 to 15 inches long, with small red
cob covered full, and over both butt and tip ends with 18 to 22 even rows of large, deep grain of a rich
orange-yellow color. It is fairly early for so large a Dent Corn, but, of course, does not mature as quickly
as the small early Dent and Flint varieties, but where 100 to 110 days of "Corn weather" are assured, it
is the Corn to grow. It gives unqualified satisfaction from New Jersey to Ohio and south, but north cf
that latitude we do not advise planting it unless in favored localities. Price, 80c. pk., $2.75 bushel,
10-bushel lots, $2.65 per bushel.

A GREAT CORN FOR THE SILO
"/ send you a photo showing a crop of Long's Champion Com from
your seed. From less than 2 acres 1 filled a silo 10 x 26 feet. The Corn
averaged 14 ft. high and was well eared."

The earliest large, White Dent, ripens thoroughly in latitudes south of Albany and Buffalo. Extra-
ordinarily prolific, often yielding 110 bushels shelled Corn, per acre. Large ears 10 to 12 inches long, 7
to 8 inches in circumference. Long kernels, small cob. Ears 2 to 3 feet from the ground. Plant leafy
and luxuriant, making fine fodder. It is the earliest large, White Dent Corn we know of. Price, 80c. pk.,
$2.75 bushel, 10-bushel lots, $2.65 per bushel.
He-ndersonj JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT
This grand variety, introduced by us several years ago, has proven a bonanza to Buckwheat raisers
in this country. It is of strong, branching growth, stands up well and produces from two to four times
as much grain as any other variety under same conditions. It is also fully a week earlier. The seed of
our Japanese variety is nearly as large again as that of other Buckwheats; it makes the finest flour and for
bees has practically displaced all other sorts where known.
The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station reports that it has grown Henderson's New Japanese
Buckwheat for two years, and found it much superior to the old varieties. "It is larger and stronger,
stands up better during storms, and the grains are larger but what places it far ahead of other varieties is
that of setting full crops of Buckwheat in dry, hot weather. It can also be sown much earlier than other
varieties, thus avoiding loss by early frost."
Henderson's Japanese Buckwheat seed is grown from the largest Japanese type imported by us for
stock seed and is therefore immensely superior to that grown here for several seasons whereby it has
deteriorated. Sow 1 bushel per acre. (See cut.) Price, 60c. pk., $1.90 per bushel of 48 lbs., 10-bushel
lots, $1.80 per bushel.
" Truly, the Japanese Buckwheat is one of the greatest improvements, in a single line of grain, of the present
age. All other kinds of Buckwheat can be well thrown aside; and not only the bee-keepers of our land, but
farmers in general, can unite in tendering a vote of thanks to our enterprising seedsmen Peter Henderson
and Co." From •'GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE."
