TWO GOLDEN SWEET CORNS
GOLDEN ROD
HENDERSON'S
SWEET CORN
A Perfect Yellow Sweet Corn of Liberal Size Delicious Golden Grains of Pleasing Flavor
It is worthy of note that the varieties of Sweet Corn possessing the finest flavor are those
that differ radically either in form or color from the ordinary sorts. Thus, Black Mexican and
the yellow varieties show a strongly marked divergence from type in the matter of color, and
Country Gentleman an equally marked divergence in form, and these varieties excel all
others in sweetness and flavor.
Twenty-five years ago we discarded from our catalogues a yellow seeded Sweet Corn on
account of its small size and lack of flavor, and for many years yellow Sweet Corn was
practically unknown. In fact when the existing varieties were introduced it was hard to
convince the public of their value, but as every one who tasted them became enthusiastic
in publishing their praise, they soon came into favor.
Golden Rod is the result of a cross between Stowell's Evergreen and Golden Bantam, and
proves to be a happy and complete blending of each sort. The ear is none too small, nor is it
large and bulky, but just large enough for ordinary consumption. The plants are 6 to 7 feet
high, strong, profusely leaved, and bear on each stalk at a convenient height, two ears lavishly
packed with delicious golden grains of appetizing flavor. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt.,
50c. qt., $1.85 for 4 qts., $3.50 peck.
"Last year 1 sent a small o.der including Golden Rod Corn to try as a novelty. It was planted in my garden
at Tyrone, N. C. , and proved very fine indeed. Because of its success I believe you will receive an order from one
of my neighbors." Miss MARY G. BEACH, Terre Haute, Ind.
"Regarding your Golden Rod Corn, would stale that it was a very hard matter to induce my man to give it a trial
last year. Now he is convinced that it is far ahead of any other kind, and insists on having it, therefore, I have
doubled my order." GEORGE A. HISKEY, So. Bethlehem, Pa.
GOLDEN BANTAM
SWEET CORN
A GEM FOR" THE SMALL GARDEN
A SMALL EAR. OF REMARKABLE QUALITY
ONE OF THE SWEETEST CORNS GROWN
Golden Bantam is a dwarf medium early varietv
of exceptionally good quality and reliability, ft
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 re-
spects it is a gem — in size of plant,
ear and grain. It is particularly
well adapted to small gar-
dens, 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 i n 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 cut.) Price, 10c.
pkt., 20c. pt, 35c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck.
"Our friends think the Golden Bantam Sweet Corn the best they ever ate, and
it tastes as good as in the Ea.:t though the climate here is not considered good for
raising Corn." Miss ELLEN BUTTERFIELD, So. Pasadena, Cat.
"Our Golden Bantam Sweet Corn from you was a revelation; so succulent, ten-
der and sweet. Our whole family soon learned to choose the little cream-colored
ears when Corn was served at our table."
Mrs. C. L. PORTER, East Orange, N. J.
IT IS PERHAPS NOT GENERALLY KNOWN THAT SWEET CORN IS
MUCH MORE TENDER. AND RETAINS ITS FLAVOR BETTER
WHEN PUT INTO COLD WATER, AND GRADUALLY
BROUGHT TO THE BOILING POINT
