OF THE FIVE CXA/nCT* C* C\TZ M SHOWN ON
VARIETIES OF JVV tZlZ 1 V^V^IXIN THIS PAGE
These collections are made up of 5 varieties to supply the home table continu-
ously throughout the season with tender, milky and delicious Sweet Corn. They
are numbered to indicate their respective seasons of maturing. The selection is
made primarily for quality and may be perfectly relied on not only in this respect,
but also as regards its continuity. The entire collection should be planted at one
time, otherwise the succession will be broken. These collections are put up in
three sizes — packet, pint and quart, and will be found of great convenience,
especially to those unfamiliar with varieties.

PLANT FOR EXTRA EARLY SWEET CORN
HENDERSON'S POCAHONTAS (No.i)
Pocahontas was obtained by the careful, painstaking effort of a New York truck
gardener to whom earliness meant all, and his work was eminently successful. The plant
is of dwarf habit and very robust. The ears are of good size and are always well filled,
having no gaps between the rows — a common fault of many early sorts. The flavor is
excellent for so early a variety. While we recommend it primarily as a first early sort,
it has been found to have great value for the latest crops, as it may be planted in this
vicinity as late as July 15th, thus prolonging the season for Sweet Corn to its utmost
length. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck.
"After trying many other varieties of Sweet Corn, I purchased seed of your Pocahontas Sweet Corn.
I find that it beats all others in earliness, productiveness and selling qualities. I sold Corn in our town
before any other market gardener." LAWRENCE GEMPERLE, Mars, Pa.
PLANT FOK EARLY SWEET CORN
EARLY CHAMPION (No. 2)
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
comparatively early season, excellent in quality, and a safe and
sure cropper. Price, 10c. pkt, 20c. pt, 30c. qt, $1.10 for 4 qts.,
$2.00 peck.
PLANT FOK 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, lusciously tender, creamy and sweet.
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, and can be confidently recomended as a perfect
Sweet Corn for the home table Price, 10c. pkt ; 20c. pt., 35c. qt,
$1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck.
PLANT FOK MID-SEASON SWEET CORN
THE "HENDERSON" (No. 4)
This ideal Corn is ready for the table about a week before the
latest sorts. The "Henderson" Corn produces uniformly large, thick
ears, compactly filled from butt to tip with long, milky white kernels
of luscious tenderness. The delicious quality is retained for a much
longer time than with most Corns. The plant is luxuriant, healthy
and vigorous. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.10 for
4 qts., $2.00 peck.
PLANT FOR LATE SWEET CORN
STOWELL'S EVERGREEN (No. 5)
Long recognized everywhere as a standard variety, both for home
use and market, and is a 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.
