PETER HENDERSON & CO.. NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



HENDERSON'S; 



WHITE COB CORY. 



EXTRA EARLY SWEET CORN. 



AN extremely early variety, usually fit to 

 use in from fifty to sixty days from seed; 

 sowing. It is not only the earliest off 

 all good sweet corns, but is one of the sweetest, 

 and best. It is a sport or selection from thei 

 famous " Red Cob Cory," which for years held; 

 popular favor as the best first early. " White J 

 Cob Cory " retains all of the good qualities of} 

 its parent, with the added merits of having a; 

 white cob and white kernels, free from thei 

 objectionable reddish tinge that sometimes 

 occurred in the red cob variety. The plants 

 are dwarf and stocky, enabling them to be 

 closely planted; usually two ears are borne 

 on a stalk. It is not only the best first early 

 sweet corn but it is valuable to plant late in 

 summer for autumn use. (See cut.) 



Price, 25c. qt., $1.30 pk., $4.25 bush., $3.00 

 per 100 ears. 



METROPOLITAN 

 SWEET CORN. 



The Best, the Largest, the Sweetest. 



And the Biggest Yielder of all Early Sweet Corns. 



IT is safe to say that there has never 

 been on the market any one variety 

 of Corn that combined the essential 

 features of earliness and good flavor 

 in a satisfactory degree. In these impor- 

 tant characteristics, " Metropolitan " cer- 

 tainly outclasses any other variety. It 

 is only two days later than Cory, which has 

 been the most popular early sort. 



The plant is distinct, being 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 ex- 

 quisite 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, 30c. qt., $1.40 pk., $4.75 bush., 

 $4.00 per 100 ears. 



" Having enjoyed our last mess of your Metropolitan 

 Sweet Corn, I suggest that you add to your catalogue 

 description its ' evergreen ' qualtiles. I planted it at 

 same dates with Stowell's Evergreen and found it outdid 

 the latter in length of time it remained in table condition. 

 This year four plantings of Metropolitan kept our table 

 subplied from Aug. 14 to Oct. 27. /( remains a long 

 time ' in the milk.' " — L. D COLLINS, Sec'y The 

 Johnson Harvester Co., Batavia, N. Y. 



" I am pleased to report a yield of 14,200 ears of your 

 Metropolitan Corn from one acre. ' — P. W. FAGEN. 

 E. Noroton, Mass. 



. " Henderson's Metropolitan Sugar Corn. I picked 

 Corn suitable for the table in 75 days from plantint 

 In my opinion, it will be the leading early variety, 

 having merits of quality and size." — ALBERTUS N. 

 CLARK. Milford. Conn. 



Your Metropolitan Corn comes fully up to the high 

 standard you claim for it. It is the only early Corn 

 in this section that thoroughly resisted smut, and that 

 is saying a lot in its favor." — L. L. COPELAND. 

 Oswego, N. Y. 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN. 



LATE SWEET CORN. 



NOW recognized everywhere as a stan- 

 dard variety, both for home use 

 and market, and is the general 

 favorite. The ears are of a large size, 

 grains deep, exceptionally tender and 

 sugary ,|; and have the advantage of re- 

 maining longer in the green state than 

 any other. Our stock has been carefully 

 grownfand selected to avoid the tendency 

 to a shorter grain and deterioration in 

 the evergreen character of this best of all 

 late sorts. 



Price, 20c. qt., $1.25 pk., $4.00 bush., 

 $4.25 per 100 ears.
