Henderson's 



Golden Country Gentleman 



We have received many complimentary 

 comments from our Market Gardener cus- 

 tomers who have tried Golden Country 

 Gentleman. 



Golden Country Gentleman is a cross be- 

 tween the white Country Gentleman and a 

 sweet yellow variety, therefore the quality is 

 a great improvement on the white variety; 

 noted as that is for its nectar-like sweetness. 

 It is quite a prolific variety, most stalks pro- 

 ducing two good ears. Price, 2 lbs. 80c, 

 12 lbs. $4.00, (Bush.) 45 lbs. $14.00. 



Early Mammoth 



Very large deep-grained ears, well filled 

 at tip and butt; of fine quality, and a good 

 shipper. Price, 2 lbs. 55c, 12 lbs. $2.50, 

 (Bush.) 45 lbs. $8.00. 



Golden Rod, Henderson's 



Combines the Flavor of Bantam with the 

 Size of Evergreen 



One of the best of the yellow varieties — a 

 cross between Golden Bantam and Stowell's 

 evergreen, having the merits of both parents. 

 The plants are 6 to 7 feet high, strong, pro- 

 fuse leaved, and bear on each stalk, at a con- 

 venient height, two ears lavishly packed with 

 delicious golden grained, ears 8 to 9 in. long — 

 deliciously sweet. (See engraving.) Price, 

 2 lbs. 60c, 12 lbs. $2.75, (Bush.) 45 lbs. 

 $9.00. 



HENDERSON'S 



Metropolitan 



A Great Favorite on the Market. Ready 

 Right After the Extra Early Sorts 



There has never been any one variety 

 of Corn besides Metropolitan that combined 

 the essential features of earliness, productive- 

 ness, and good flavor in a satisfactory degree. 

 In these important characteristics, Metro- 

 politan certainly outclasses any other variety. 



Metropolitan is just about a week later 

 than the very early sorts, and is equal in 

 quality to the main crop varieties. It grows 

 about hYi ft. high. The ears are 9 inches 

 long, 10 to 12 rowed, well filled to the tip 

 with large grains of excellent quality. It is 

 a sturdy plant and grows easily. The best, 

 the largest, the sweetest and the biggest 

 yielder of all Early Sweet Corn. The ears 

 have a liberal husk, which insures a fresh 

 condition on reaching the market. (See 

 engraving.) Price, 2 lbs. 55c, 12 lbs. $2.50, 

 (Bush.) 45 lbs. $8.00.
