HENDERSON'S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



Popular Market Garden Varieties of 

 Henderson's World Famous Sweet Corn 



Command the Highest Prices on all Markets 



HENDERSON'S COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 



This is always in great demand for hotel or fancy local trade, 

 where its superb quality commands top prices. 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 ftill perfection just in time to succeed the earlier varieties. 

 Our stock is just as good as when we first introduced it. Price, 

 qt. 55c., pk. $2.50, bush. $9.00. 



EARLY CHAMPION 



This standard sort has stood the test of many years of culti- 

 vation. It is grown extensively both by private and market 

 gardeners as it comes into bearing immediately after the early 

 sorts. It is a sure cropper, ears are medium to large in size, pure 

 white. Price, qt. 50c., pk. $2.25, bush. $8.00. 



GOLDEN BANTAM 



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. Price, qt. 55c., pk. $2.50, bush. $9.00. 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN 



Grown almost exclusively for the last marketing. It is one of 

 the best known sorts, and is valued not only for its sureness in 

 crop production, but for its great popularity on the market and 

 remarkablv good quality. Our strain is excellent in every 

 respect. Price, qt. 50c., "pk. $2.25, bush. $8.00. 



"/ hare planted your Country Gentleman Sweet 

 Corn for twenty years and there nether was a better." 



MR. J. F. DEESE, Cochran, Ca. 



p "/ am sending you a snapshot of your Metropol- 

 itan Sweet Corn so that you can see what it does in 

 Oregon. My foster soji is six feet tall, he is standing 

 in the patch. Each stalk had three to four ears on 

 and some had five. I am plantittg double the 

 quantity this year." 



MRS. V. A. SWANTON, Gaston, Oregon. 



HENDERSON'S METROPOLITAN 



A Great Favorite on the Market. Ready Right After the Extra 

 Early Sorts 

 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 5H 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 ears have a liberal 

 husk, which insures a fresh condition on reaching the market. 

 Price, qt., 55c., pk., $2.50, bush. $9.00. 



LATE MAMMOTH 



A very late variety, producing mammoth ears often 10 inches 

 long; well filled with large broad, white kernels of superb quality. 

 Price, qt. 50c. * pk. $2.25, bush. $8.00. 



"/ had the Mammoth Corn from you one year and it excelled any corn I ever saw 

 for size of ear, productiveness and quality." J.AMES P. MELLEN, Geneva, N. Y. 



LONG ISLAND BEAUTY 



This desirable variety is well known in the markets of New 

 York City and other large cities in the east. 



It is a cross between Stowell's Evergreen and Late Mammoth 

 and will mature within 100 days. 



Long Island Beauty produces large ears filled from butt to tip 

 with milky-white kernels of delicious quality, and averages three 

 ears to a stalk. The husk is very dark green in color and the 

 plant is luxuriant, healthy and vigorous. Price, qt. 50c., 

 pk. $2.25, bush. $8.00. 



The American Public is Sweet Corn hungry. Grow enough — extend the season to its limits by growing early 



medium and late sorts.
