CROP. 



HENDERSON'S 



METROPOLITAN 

 Sweet Corn 



FOK VERY EARLY. 

 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 important characteristics, 

 '■ Metropolitan " certainly 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 ten- 

 der. It is not merely sweet, but possesses 

 that exquisite richness so well known in the 

 larger and later sorts. An ample husk in- 

 sures its remaining in the "milk" longer 

 than is usual with early varieties. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c."pt., 40c. qt., $2.00 

 pk. 



" J find your Metropolitan Sweet Corn to be very early, 

 very sweet, and a great yielder. I do not know of any 

 Early Corn that compares with it." 



A. P. ROSCOE, Xew Haven, Cl. 

 " I am very much pleased with your Metropolitan 

 Sugar Corn, it was iine! I never ate better com." 



J. E. A. GIBBS. Rapine. Va. 

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

 Metropolitan Corn from one acre." 



P. W. FAGER. E. Norton. Mass. 

 " Your Metropolitan Sweet Corn is certainly the 

 sweetest and most succulent corn I ever ate. " 



E. H. PLATT, Watervliet, N. Y 

 "I find your Metropolitan the most satisfactory Early 

 Sweet Corn for this section." 



N. T. TRUELL, Lachute, Canada 

 "You are warranted in adding "Evergreen" to your 

 catalogue description of Metropolitan Sweet Corn, for it 

 remains a long time in the milk."

 Country Gentleman 



Sweet Corn 



FOPn main crop. 



The Most Delicious Sweet Corn Grown 



Plump, Pearly- While, Milky Kernels, fairly Melting in 

 the mouth. Retaining its Delicate Tenderness even 

 when a little old. Very Productive, each stalk yield- 

 ing 3 and often 4 ears ; even 6 ears to a stalk occasionally. 



HENDERSON'S Country Gentleman is 

 the finest of all Sweet Corns for the 

 private table. The arrangement of 

 the kernels on the cob indicates high qual- 

 ity. The moment the teeth sink into this 

 luscious, milky, tender Corn you will be- 

 come a complete convert to it, for it will 

 delight the most fastidious epicure. It 

 retains its delicate tenderness and flavor 

 even when a little old, as the ears are en- 

 closed in a heavv husk, which tends to 

 keep the ear "in the milk" for several days 

 longer than other corns. The ears average 

 eight to nine inches in length, cob small; 

 and plump, pearly-white kernels of great 

 depth fill the ear from end to end. It pro- 

 duces three, many times four, and occa- 

 sionally five and six ears to a stalk. But 

 the great merit of the "Country Gentle- 

 man" Corn is its delicious quality; it is, 

 without doubt, the sweetest and most ten- 

 der of any Sweet Corn. (See cut.) Price, 

 10c. pkt.,' 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.00 pk.
