HENDERSON' 



"Country Gentleman 



SNA/EZEZT" CORN. 



>> 



THE "COUNTRY GENTLEMAN" is the finest 

 of all Sweet Corns for the private table. The 

 arrangement 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 fas- 

 tidious epicure. The " Country Gentleman " Corn 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 days longer than other corns. 

 The ears average 8 to 9 inches in length, a very attractive 

 size for the table. The cob is unusually small, and the pearly 

 white kernels of great depth. Another great point of merit 

 is the abundance of red silks in each ear, supplying plenty of 

 pollen, which is the secret of the ears of this variety being 

 filled from end to end with plump and fully developed 

 kernels, for which this variety is noted. The plant is 6 

 fpet in height, medium early, and very handsome. It produces 

 three, and many times four, ears to a stalk. "When we con- 

 sider that ordinary Sweet Corn produces only one or two good 

 ears to a stalk, the superiority of this variety will be quickly 

 seen. But the great merit of the " Country Gentleman " Corn 

 is its delicious quality ; it is, without doubt, the sweetest and 

 most tender of all Sweet Corn. (Seecut.) Price, 15c. % pt., 25c.

 until they reach their f uil 

 size they are of a very 

 dark green color, so dark 

 that it might be almost 

 called "black." The pe- 

 culiar feature of this va- 

 riety is the knobs or 

 protuberances, upon 

 which the spines are 

 placed, are prominent at 

 all stages of growth, giv- 

 ing the cucumber a very 

 attractive appearance. 

 This variety is the earliest 

 and most prolific of all 

 pickling Cucumbers, and is 

 certain to become a 

 standard sort. While pri- 

 marily a pickling variety, 

 it is also most useful for 

 slicing, the cucumbers, when fully matured, being of good size and 

 very tender and crisp. (Seecut.) 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 60c. }£ lb., $2.00 lb. 



/ must say a few words in regard to your " Cool and Crisp " Cucumber. It is a very superior 

 variety. I started the seeds in a cold-frame, and had them early, and they continued to bear the 

 whole season until frost killed the vines. I never saw such a bearer, and considering the dry 

 season it astonished everybody.— James L. Balmeb, Marysville, Mich.

The cut gives a good idea of the shape of this valuable variety. It will be noticed 



that it is inclined to taper off at the stem end, and is generally a little pointed at the 



other end also. This is the most desirable shape for pickles. At the pickling stage the 



cucumbers are straight,
