123 GOLDEN COUNTRY GENTLEMAN (Henderson's) 



It Delights Both Eye and Palate {See Color Plate. Page 21.) 

 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 lusciousness of the original Country Gentleman with the rich golden color 

 now in such favor with lovers of sweet com. 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 davs earlier than the white. 



Price, pkt., ISc; }4 lb., 40c; 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 21.) 

 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 con- 

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



Price, pkt., 15c; }4 lb., 25c; lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c; 8 lbs., $2.75; 15 lbs., $4.50; transportation 

 paid. 



101 BLACK MEXICAN 



Medium early, bearing 8-inch ears. Well filled with large kernels, which, paradoxically, 

 though black when ripe, are white when "green" and then exceptionally sweet. 

 Price, pkt., 10c; J4 lb., 25c; lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 70c; 8 lbs., $2.50; transiwrtation paid. 



107 COUNTRY GENTLEMAN (Henderson's) 



The Most Delicious Sv^eet Com in the World 

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



When we first placed this Com before the public in 1892 it created a great furore among Com 

 lovers — and who is there in America who does not enjoy "green Com on the Cob." 



These first impressions have been fully justified by later experiences, and the Country 

 Gentleman Com 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 mUky, and remains "in the milk" longer 

 than other Sweet Com. The ears measure 8 to 9 inches in length, and the plant is very pro- 

 lific, often producing 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 ilhistralion.) 



Price, pkt., 10c; M lb-. 25c; lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c; 8 lbs., $2.75; 15 lbs., $4.50; transixjrtation 

 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; }i lb.. 25c; lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c; 8 lbs., $2.75; 15 lbs.. $4.50; transportation 

 paid.
