Henderson’s New “ METROPOLITAN” SWEET CORN. 
The best and the sweetest early Sweet Corn, and the biggest yielder of all early varieties. 
“TI planted a small quantity of your Metropolitan 
Sweet Corn last season beside Kendel’s Early Giant, 
Cory and Perry’s Hybrid. All received equal atten- 
tion and Metropolitan was earlier than any, had larger 
ears; filled better at tip, and was vastly superior in 
tenderness and flavor. It is, indeed, an ac- 
quisition, and I hopetoplant alarge quan- 
tity next season.”’

.. . Sweet Corn... 
T is safe to say that there has never been on 
the market any one variety of Corn that com- 
bined the essential features of earliness and 
good flavor in a satisfactory degree. In these 
important characteristics, ‘‘ Metropolitan ’’ 
certainly outclasses any other variety. It is 
only two days later than Cory, which, untilnow, 
has been the earliest sort. 
The plant is distinct, being very strong in stalk, growing 514 feet 
in height. The leaves are numerous, narrow and very dark green 
incolor. The ears are all set low, not over 14 feet from the ground, 
producing from two to three to the plant. They are uniformly 9 
inches long, 10 to 12 rowed, well filled to the tip with large deep 
grains, which are very tender. It is not merely sweet, but possesses that exquisite rich- “T find your Metropolitan Sweet Cornto be very
