107 COUNTRY GENTLEMAN (Henderson's) 



The Most Delicious Sweet Corn in the World 

 Plump, Pearly-white, Milky Kernels, Fairly Melting in the Mouth 



When we first placed this Corn before the public in 1892, 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 Gentle- 

 man 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. 



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 perfec- 

 tion just in time to succeed the earlier varieties. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; l A lb. 25c; lb. 45c; 2 lbs. 80c; 8 lbs. $2.75; 15 lbs. $4.50; transportation paid. 



123 GOLDEN COUNTRY GENTLEMAN (Henderson's) 



It Delights Both Eye and Palate (See Color Plate, Page 22) 

 A few years ago we conceived the idea that it would be a great accomplishment if we could 

 combine the nectar-like sweetness and milky character of Country Gentleman with a golden 

 variety. 



Our efforts were rewarded with unlooked-for success in combining all the sugary sweetness, 

 tenderness and lifsciousness of the original Country Gentleman with the rich golden color now 

 in such favor with lovers of sweet corn. Its appearance is most inviting — the color being a 

 glistening, glowing, golden yellow, hard to describe or even to reproduce in a colored plate. 



The ears are not quite as large as white Country Gentleman but the remarkable depth of 

 kernel characterizing the original variety is fully retained in the new, as well as the ball-shaped 

 ends of the kernels. It matures a few days earlier than the white. 



Price, pkt. 15c; }4 lb. 40; lb. 75c; 2 lbs. $1.25; 8 lbs. $4.25; transportation paid. 



121 GOLDEN ROD (Henderson's) 



Delicious Golden Grains of Rich Flavor 



(See Color Plate, Page 22) 



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 just large enough for 

 ordinary consumption. The plants are 6 to 7 feet high, and bear on each stalk, at a convenient 

 height, two ears packed with delicious golden grains of appetizing flavor. 



Price, pkt. 15c; Yi lb 25c; lb. 45c; 2 lbs. 85; 8 lbs. $3.00; 15 lbs. $5.25; transportation paid. 



130 STOWELL'S EVERGREEN The Best Late Variety 



Long recognized everywhere as a standard variety, both for home use and market, and is a 

 general favorite. The ears are of a large size, grains deep, exceptionally tender and sugary, 

 and have the advantage of remaining longer in the green state than any other. Our stock has 

 been carefully grown and selected. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; Y 2 lb. 25c; lb. 45c; 2 lbs. 80c; 8 lbs. $2.75; 15 lbs. $4.50; transportation paid. 



133 THE HENDERSON 



The favorite of growers of quality 

 produce for its fine, uniform, large milky- 

 white ears and its dependable crop- 

 ping qualities. The Henderson is 

 ready for the table about one week 



before the late sorts. The plant is luxurious, heaitny and vigorous. It is of 

 delicious quality and has the faculty of retaining its delicious and tender sweet- 

 ness for a much longer time than most other sweet corns. 

 Price, pkt. 10c; V 2 lb. 25c; lb. 45c; 2 lbs. 80c; 8 lbs. $2.75; 15 lbs. $4.50;
