HENDERSON'S 
— Country Gentleman 
Sweet Corn 
Plump, Pearly-White, Milky Kernels, Re- 
taining Its Delicate Tenderness even 
_ when a little old. Very Produc- 
a tive, the ear is nearly all Corn. 
When we first placed this Corn before the 
“hie in 1891, it created a great furore 
among Corn lovers—and who. is there in 
America who does not enjoy “green Corn 
on the co 
_ .These first impressions have been fully 
- justified by later experiences, and the 
Gountry Gentleman 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. As will be noticed 
a, engraving opposite, the kernels are 
perfectly round at the end, but of ex- 
‘traordinary depth, the cob being extremely 
‘small; nothing, in fact, but a core. 
ee -It is of nectar-like sweetness, luscious, 
der and milky, and remains “in the 
k” longer than other Sweet Corn. The 
ears measure 8 to 9 inches in length, and the 
t is very prolific, 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

HENDERSON’S 
Golden Rod Sweet Corn 
A Perfect Yellow Sweet Corn of Liberal 
Size. Delicious Golden Grains 
of Pleasing Flavor. 
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 yellow varieties show a 
strongly marked divergence from type in the 
matter of color, and Country Gentleman an 
equally marked divergence in form, and these 
varieties excel all others in sweetness and 
flavor. 
When the existing yellow or golden colored 
varieties were introduced, it was hard to 
convince the public of their value; but as 
everyone who tasted them became enthusi- 
astic in publishing their praise, they soon 
came into favor. 
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 none tco 
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 con- 
venient height, two ears lavishly packed 
with delicious golden grains of appetizing 
flavor. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt.,

HENDERSON’S 
Metropolitan 
HENDERSON’S 
Metropolitan Sweet Corn 
THE BEST EARLY SWEET CORN GROWN 
The Best, the Largest, the Sweetest and 
the Biggest Yielder of all 
Early Sweet Corn. 
To get the first crop of really good Sweet 
Corn, grow Henderson’s Metropolitan. There 
has never been any one variety of Corn be- 
sides Metropolitan that combined the 
essential features of earliness, productive- 
ness and good flavor in a satisfactory degree. 
In these important characteristics, Metropoli- 
tan certainly outclasses any other variety. It 
is very little later than Cory, which has been 
the most popular early sort. 
The plant is distinct, being very strong in 
stalk, growing 52 feetin height. The leaves 
are numerous, narrow and very dark green in 
color. The ears are from 8 to 9 inches long 
and _ all set low. They are 10 to 12-row ed, 
well filled to the tip with large, deep 
grains, which are very tender. It is not 
merely sweet, but possesses that exquisite 
richness so well known in the larger and later 
sorts. 
An ample husk insures its remaining in 
the “milk” longer than is usual with early 
varieties. As one of our friends says: “You 
are warranted in calling it ‘Evergreen,’ for 
it remains such a long time in the milk.”
