HENDERSON'S Delicious SWEET su^g^r CORN 



INTRODUCED BY PETER HENDERSON & CO. 



HENDERSON'S 



Golden Rod 



Sweet Corn 



DELICIOUS GOLDEN GRAINS 

 OF RICH FLAVOR 



121. It is •worthy of note that the varieties of 

 Sweet Corn possessing the finest flavor are those 

 that differ radically either in form or color from the 

 ordinary sorts. Thus, Black Mexican and the yel- 

 low varieties show a strongly marked divergence 

 from type in the matter of color, and Country Gen- 

 tleman an eciually marked divergence in form, and 

 these varieties excel all others in sweetness and 

 flavor. 



When the existing yellow or golden colored vari- 

 eties were introduced, it was hard to convince the 

 public of their value; but as everyone who tasted 

 them became enthusiastic in publishing their praise, 

 they soon carne into favor. 



Golden Rod is the result of a cross between Sto- 

 well's Evergreen and Golden Bantam, and proves 

 to be a happy and complete blending of each sort. 

 The ear is none too small, nor is it large and bulky, 

 but just large enough for ordinary consumption. 

 The plants are 6 to 7 feet high, strong, profusely 

 leaved, and bear on each stalk, at a convenient 

 height, two ears lavishly packed with delicious 

 golden grains of appetizing flavor. (<Sf e engraving.}

Country Gentleman . 



Sweet Corn 



PLUMP, PEARLY- WHITE, MILKY KERNELS 

 FAIRLY MELTING IN THE MOUTH 



107. When we first placed this Corn before the 

 public in 1S91, 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 Gentleman 

 Corn has become justly famous all over the Ignited 

 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. As -nail be noticed in the 

 engraving opposite, the kernels are perfectly round 

 at the end, but of extraordinary depth, the cob 

 being extremely small; nothing, in fact, but a core. 



It is of nectar-like sweetness, luscious, tender and 

 milky, and remains "in the milk" longer than othc r 

 Sweet Corn. The ears measure 8 to 9 inches in 

 length, and the plant is very prolific, often producini; 

 three ears to a stalk. It is a slow-maturing variety 

 and arrives at full perfection just in time to succeed 

 the earlier varieties. {See engraving.) 

 Price, 15c. pkt., 40c. pt., 70c. qt., $2.50 half peck. 



"I thoiighl you icould like lo knqw Ih.at last year I had 

 Henderson's Golden Rod Corn that measured one inch longer 

 and had two grains more in each row than pictured in your 

 catalogue." MATT. R. LUBINS, Rutherford; N.J. 



"I liked Henderson's Golden Rod Com so much last year, 

 also Henderson's Bountiful Beans, they hare both such fine 

 flavor." MRS. RO Y NARROW, Graton, Cal. 



"I rmisl say that Henderson's Golden Rod Corn is the 

 best I ever used. I have grown it now for three years in 

 succession."

THE MOST DELICIOUS SWEET CORN GROWN 



Rlr. Thomas M. Whyte, buyer of the stores for one of 

 New York's palatial hoteLs, says: 



"I have found no green Corn so satisfactory as tfte Country 

 Gentleman. It is sw?:t and juicy, free from worms or 

 blemish. It ■will not be in market before early August and 

 then New York will begin feasting on the vwst delicious of 

 Sweet Corn, the Country Gentleman."— rNi Y. Mveriing
