azqS the finest of all Sweet 
I Corns for the private 
table. The arrange- 
ment of the kernels on the 
cob indicates high quality. 
The moment your teeth 
sink into this luscious, 
milky, tender Corn, you 
will become a complete 
convert to it, for it will delight the most. fastidious epicure. 
It retains its delicate tenderness and flavor even when a little 
old, as the €ars are enclosed in a heavy husk, which tends to 
keep the ear ‘‘in the milk’? for several days longer than other 
corns. The ears average eight to nine inches in length. cob 
small and plump; pearly-white kernels of great depth fill the 
ear from end to end. It produces three, many times four, and 
occasionally five and six, ears to astalk. But the great merit 
of the **Country Gentleman’? Corn is its delicious quality: it 
is, without doubt, the sweetest and most tender of anv Sweet 
Corn. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 pk.

OF ALL 
EARLY SWEET CORNS. 
feqT is safe to say that 
FI there has never been on 
the market any one va- 
riety of Corn that combined 
the essential features of 
earliness and good flavor 
in a satisfactory degree. 
In these important charac- 
teristics, ‘‘Metropolitan’’ 
certainly outclasses any 
other variety. It is only 
two days later than Cory, 
which has been the most 
popular early sort. 
-The plant is distinct, be- 
ing very strong in stalk, 
growing 5% feet in height. 
The leaves are numerous, 
narrow and very dark green 
in color. The ears, two to 
three to the plant, are all set 
low. 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 
richness so well known in 
the larger and later sorts. 
An ample husk insures its 
remaining in the ‘‘milk”’ 
longer than is usual with 
early varieties. (See cut.) 
Price, 15c. % pt., 25c. pt.,

“Having enjoyed our last mess 
of your Metropolitan Sweet Corn, 
I suggest that you are warranted 
in adding to your catalogue de- 
scription its ‘evergreen’ qualities. 
Last year I planted it in the same 
garden and at same dates with 
Stowell’s Evergreen and found it 
outdid the latter in Jength of time 
it remained in table condition. 
This year four plantings of Metro- 
politan kept our table supplied 
from Aug. 14th to Oct. 27th. It 
remains a long time ‘inthe milk.’”’ 
—L. D. COLLINS, See’ y The John- 
sop Harvester Co., Batavia, N. Y. 
“7 planted a small quantity of 
your Metropolitan Sweet Corn 
last season beside Kendel’s Early 
Giant, Cory and Perrys Hybrid. 
All received equal attention and 
Metropolitan wasearlier than any, 
had larger ears, filled better at tip, 
and was vastly superior in tender- 
ness and flavor. It is, indeed. an 
acquisition.’-—C. J. ROBINSON, 
Paterson, N. J.
