G. . . HENDERSON'S . . .

CY1 S the finest of all Sweet 

 *JJ, Corns for the 

 (~> table. The 



private 

 arrange- 

 ment of the kernels on the 

 cob indicates high quality. 

 The moment A'our 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 ears are enclosed in a heavy husk, which tends to 

 keep the ear "in the milk" for several davs 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 a stalk. But the great 

 merit of the "Country Gentleman" Corn is its delicious 

 quality; it is, without doubt, the sweetest and most tender of 

 any Sweet Corn. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. 

 qt., $1.75 pk., $6.00 bush. 



WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT IT: 



"I wish to speak of the 'Country Gentleman' Sweet Corn as being better 

 than the best that we have ever tried. It's fine." 



GEORGE ROGERS, Jackson, Mich. 



"I desire to say a word in praise of the 'Country Gentleman' Corn which I 

 raised last season. It is without exception the finest Corn on the continent, 

 and as beautiful as fine." THOS. LA UNDON, Elyria, O. 



"The 'Country Gentleman' Street Corn is the best and sweetest we have ever 

 raised or eaten." Mrs. N. W. BONNELL, Springfield, N. J. 



"In regard to your 'Country Gentleman' Sweet Corn, it is the only kind tliat 

 we have been able to grow on the searoast of this State." 



CHARLES SPENCE, Charleston, S. C. 



HENDERSON'S 



M ETROPOLITAN.. 

 ...SWEET C ORN 



FOR VERY EARLY. 



THE BEST, THE LARGEST, THE SWEETEST, 



AND THE 



BIGGEST YIELDER 



OF ALL 



EARLY SWEET CORNS. 



Cj I T is safe to say that 

 * [■ there has never been on 

 *—• > the market any one \ a 

 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 J 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. J pt., 25c. pt., 

 40c. qt., $2^00 pk., $6.50 

 bush. 



"Having enjeyed our lost mess 

 of your Mttrt fulilan Sueet Corn, 

 I suggest that you are warranted 

 in adding to your catalcgue de- 

 scription its 'evergreen' Qualities. 

 Last year I planted it in the same 

 garden and at same dates with 

 Slowell's Evergreen and found it 

 outdid the latter in length 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 'in the milk."' 

 —L.D.COI U.XS.Sce'i/ The John- 

 Son Harvester Co., Bataiia, N. Y. 

 "I planted a small quantity of 

 your Metropolitan Sunt Corn last 

 season beside KcndeVs Early Giant, 

 Cory and Perry's Hybrid. All re- 

 ceived equal attention and Metro- 

 politan was earlier than any, had 

 larger ears, filled better at tip, and 

 was vastly superior in tenderness 

 and flavor, ft is, indeed, an ac- 

 quisition."— C. J. ROBI.XSON, 

 Paterson, N. J.
