HENDERSON'S GOLDEN COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 



We have received many complimentary comments from 

 ciistomers who have tried Golden Country Gentleman. 



Golden Country GenilemSn is a cross be- 

 tween the white Country Gentleman and a 

 sweet yellow variety, therefore the quality is 

 a great improvement on the white variety; 

 noted as that is for its nectar-like sweetness. 

 It is quite a prolific variety, most stalks pro- 

 ducing two good ears. Price, 2 lbs. 80c., 

 12 lbs. $3.50, (Bush.) 45 lbs. $12.00. 



GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 



A New Disease-Resisting Sweet Corn — 



Practically Immune from all Bacterial 



Diseases 



It is with great satisfaction that we intro- 

 duce this variety to our .friends because it 

 fills a long-felt want, viz. — a sweet corn not 

 susceptible to the prevalent bacterial dis- 

 eases that have devastated large and small 

 plantings during the past few years. 



The ears of Golden Cross Bantam are 

 larger than its prototype Golden Bantam, as 

 they carry usually ten to fourteen rows of 

 kernels. It matures about four days later 

 than Golden Bantam, but it is quite equal to 

 it in quality. 



This variety originated at the Purdue Ex- 

 perimental Station at Lafayette, Ind. 



Price, lb. 65c., 12 lbs. $7.00. 



GOLDEN ROD, Henderson's 



Combines the Flavor of Bantam with the 

 Size of Evergreen 



One of the best of the yellow varieties — a 

 cross between Golden Bantam and Stowell's 

 Evergreen, having the merits of both parents. 

 The plants are to 7 feet high, strong, pro- 

 fuse leaved, and bear on each stalk, at a con- 

 venient height, two ears lavishly packed with 

 delicious golden grained, ears 8 to 9 in. long — 

 deliciously sweet. (See engraving.) 



Price, 2 lbs. 60c., 12 lbs. $2.75, 



(Bush.) 45 lbs. $9.00.

METROPOLITAN 



A Great Favorite on the Mar.ket. Ready 

 Right After the Extra Early Sorts 



There has never been any one variety 

 of Corn besides Metropolitan that combined 

 the essential features of earliness, productive- 

 ness, and good flavor in a satisfactory degree. 

 In these important characteristics. Metro- 

 politan certainly outclasses any other variety. 



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 5}^ 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 best, 

 the largest, the sweetest and the biggest 

 yielder of all Earl}' Sweet Corn. The ears 

 have a liberal husk, which insures a fresh 

 condition on reaching the market. (See 

 engraving.) Price, 2 lbs. 60c., 12 lbs. $2.75, 

 (Bush.) 45 lbs. $9.00.
