Henderson's Metropolitan Sweet Corn 



The Best Early Sweet Corn Grown 



THE BEST, THE LARGEST, THE SWEETEST AND THE BIGGEST 

 YIELDER OF ALL EARLY SWEET CORNS 



To get the first crop of really good Sweet Corn, grow Henderson's Metropolitan. There has 

 never been any one variety of Corn besides Metropolitan that combined the essential features 

 of earliness, productiveness and good flavor in a satisfactory degree. In these important charac- 

 teristics, Metropolitan certainly outclasses any other variety. It is very little later than Cory, 

 which has been the most popular early sort. 



The plant is distinct, being very strong in stalk, growing 5J-2 feet in height. The leaves are 

 numerous, narrow and very dark green in color. The ears are from 8 to 9 inches long and all set 

 low. They are 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. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.10 for 4 qts., $4.00 peck. 



'* J have raised Henderson's Metropolitan Sweet Corn for five years in succession, and I am sure there is 

 none better." G. ROULEAU, Auburn, Me. 



" All your seeds were very satisfactory, the Sweet Corn being especially fine. I, was true to type and name, 

 and I sold it when others had to lake theirs home again." R. E. FISHER, Montoursville, Pa. 



" We have had excellent results with all your seeds 

 we have ever had" 



Henderson's Metropolitan Sweet Corn is the finest corn 

 Mrs. E. C. WESTON, Bangor, Me. 

 ' The Sweet Corn Seed I bought from you last year was fine. I had the best sweet corn in this neighborhood."

Golden Bantam Sweet Corn 



A Gem for the Small Garden 



A Small Ear of Remarkable Quality 



ONE OF THE SWEETEST CORNS 

 GROWN 



Golden Bantam is a dwarf medium early variety 

 of exceptionally good quality and reliability. It is 

 rapidly becoming one of the most popular varieties 

 in our list. While the individual plant and ear are 

 small, it may be planted so much closer than the 

 larger-eared sorts, so that the net product from a 

 given area is about the same as of ordinary sorts. 

 The plant is about 5 feet high, medium early, but 

 of exceptionally good quality. In all respects it is 

 a gem — in size of plant, ear and grain. It is 

 particularly well adapted to small gardens, on 

 account of its small size; to the more pretentious 

 garden on account of its excessive cropping ability 

 on a given area, and to all because of its superb 

 quality and delicious, satisfying flavor. It may 

 be planted to advantage in hills three feet apart 

 each way. If in rows, they should be three feet 

 apart, and the plants standing singly at nine- 

 inch intervals. It is probably 

 the best to use where only one 

 sort is planted, for it suc- 

 ceeds admirably under 

 all conditions. (See en- 

 graving.) Price, 15c. 

 pkt., 40c. pt., 70c. qt., 

 $2.60 for 4 qts., $5.00 

 peck. 



" Henderson's Seeds 

 have always given the 

 best of satisfaction to 

 me. My Golden Ban- 

 tam Sweet Corn was 

 far superior to my 

 neighbors' who pur- 

 chased the seed 

 locally." 



CHARLES E. HART 

 Elmira, N. Y. 



"Our friends think 

 the Golden Bantam 

 Sweet Corn the best 

 they ever ate, and it 

 tastes as good as in 

 the East, though the 

 climate here is not con- 

 sidered good for rais- 

 ing corn." 



Miss ELLEN 



BUTTERFIELD. So. Pasadena, Cal. 



"Our Golden Bantam Sweet Corn from you was a revelation; so succulent, 

 tender and sweet. Our whole family soon learned to choose the little cream- 

 colored ears when Corn was served at our table." 



Mrs. C. L. PORTER, East Orange, N. J. 



IT IS PERHAPS NOT GENERALLY KNOWN THAT SWEET CORN 

 IS MUCH MORE TENDER AND RETAINS ITS FLAVOR 

 RETTER WHEN PUT INTO COLD WATER AND GRAD- 

 UALLY RROUGHT TO THE BOILING POINT
