THE MOST DELICIOUS SWEET CORNS GROWN 



Country Gentleman and Golden Rod 



INTRODUCED BY PETER 



[ENDERSON & CO. 



HENDERSON'S 



COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 

 Sweet Corn 



Plump, Pearly- White, Milky Kernels. Retaining 



its Delicate Tenderness even when a little old. 



Very Productive^ the ear is nearly all Corn. 



When we first placed- this Corn before the public in 

 1891, it created a great, furore among Corn lovers — 

 and who is there in America who does not enjoy 

 "green Corn on the cob"? 



These first impressions have been fully justified by 

 later experiences, and the Country Gentleman Corn 

 has become justly famous all over the United States 

 and in some foreign countries as well. It is at once 

 the delight of the epicure and a luxury within the 

 reach of everybody. As will be noticed in the colored 

 illustration, the kernels are perfectly round at the 

 end, but of extraordinary depth, the cob being ex- 

 tremely small; nothing in fact but a core. 



It is of nectar-like sweetness, luscious, tender and 

 milky, and remains "in the milk" longer than other 

 Sweet Corn. The ears measure 8 to 9 inches in 

 length, and the plant is very prolific, often producing 

 three ears to a stalk. It is a slow-maturing variety 

 and arrives at full perfection just in time to succeed 

 the earlier varieties. (See colored illustration.) 

 Price, 15e. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt,, $2.10 for 4 qts. 

 $4.00 peck. 



The Most Delicious Sweet Corn Grown 



Mr. Thomas M. Whyte, buyer of the stores for the Hotel 

 Knickerbocker, one of New York's palatial hotels, says, 

 " I have found no green Corn so satisfactory as the Country 

 Gentleman. It is sweet and juicy, free from worms or 

 blemish. It will not be in market before early August and 

 then New York will begin feasting on the most delicious of 

 Sweet Corn, the Country Gentleman." — N. Y. Evening 

 Mail, July 24, 19 13. 



HENDERSON'S 



GOLDEN ROD Sweet Corn 



A Perfect Yellow Sweet Corn of Liberal Size. 

 Delicious Golden Grains of Pleasing Flavor. 



It is worthy of note that the varieties of Sweet 

 Corn possessing the finest flavor are those that differ 

 radically either in form or color from the ordinary 

 sorts. Thus, Black Mexican and the yellow varieties 

 show a strongly marked divergence from type in the 

 matter of color, and Country Gentleman an equally 

 marked divergence in form, and these varieties excel 

 all others in sweetness and flavor. 



Twenty-five years ago we discarded from our 

 catalogues a yellow seeded Sweet Corn on account of 

 its small size and lack of flavor, and for many years 

 yellow Sweet Corn was practically unknown. In 

 fact when the existing varieties were introduced it 

 was hard to convince the public of their value, but as 

 everyone who tasted them became enthusiastic in 

 publishing their praise, they soon came into favor. 



Golden Rod is the result of a cross between Stowell's 

 Evergreen and Golden Bantam, and proves to be a 

 happy and complete blending of each sort. The ear 

 is none too small, nor is it large and bulky, but just 

 large enough for ordinary consumption. The plants 

 are 6 to 7 feet high, strong, profusely leaved, and bear 

 on each stalk, at a convenient height, two ears 

 lavishly packed with delicious golden grains of 

 appetizing flavor. (See colored illustration.) Price, 

 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.10 for 4 qts., $4.00 peek. 



j^ast year 1 uougnt seeasjrom you. uoiaen J<oa Lorn and 

 others were very splendid, we enjoyed eating them very much."

" We can't say enough in favor of Henderson's Golden Rod 

 Sweet Com. It is most delicious."

"Henderson's Golden Rod Corn has been thoroughly tested 

 by us, and continues to give great satisfaction."
