The Best Early and Late Sweet Corns 



METROPOLITAN and COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 



To get the first crop of really good Corn, one must grow Metropolitan 

 To be sure of the best quality at the last Country Gentleman is indispensable 



HENDERSON'S 



COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 



SWEET CORN 



Plump, Pearly-White, Milky Kernels. Retaining its Delicate Tenderness even when 

 a little old. Very Productive, the ear is nearly all Corn. 



When we first placed this Corn before the public in 1891, 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 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 every- 

 body. As will be noticed in the cut, the kernels 

 are perfectly round at the end, but of extra- 

 ordinary 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 

 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 engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 2Sc. pt., 40c. 

 qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 peck. 



The Most Delicious Sweet Corn Grown 



Mr. Thomas M. Whyte, buyer of the stores for the 

 Hotel Knickerbocker, one of New York's palatial hotels, 

 says, "I have found no green Corn so satisfactory as 

 the Country Gentleman. It is sweet and juicy, free 

 from worms or blemish. It will not be in market 

 before early August and then New York will begin,feast- 

 ing on the most delicious of Sweet Corn, the Country 

 Gentleman."— AT. Y. Evening Mail. July 2-i, 1913. 



"/ have planted your Country Gentleman Sweel Corn 

 for 20 years, and there never was a better." 

 March 8, 1915. J. F. DEESE.

" The corn I got from you was the finest I ever planted. 

 We are using the last of the Country Gentleman. Last 

 week I sold it in Butler at 25c. per doz."

HENDERSON'S 



METROPOLITAN 



SWEET CORN 



FOR VERY EARLY 



The Best, the Largest, the Sweetest 



and the Biggest Yielder of all 



Early Sweet Corns 



There has never been any one variety of Corn 

 beside Metropolitan that combined the essential 

 features of earliness, productiveness and good 

 flavor in a satisfactory degree. In these important 

 characteristics, Metropolitan 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 5]/^ feet in 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-rowed, well filled to the 

 tip with large deep grains, which are very tender. 

 It is not merely sweet, but possesses that ex- 

 quisite richness so well known in the larger and 

 later sorts. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 

 25c. pt, 40c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 peck. 



"/ have raised Henderson's Metropolitan Sweet Corn 

 for five years, and I think there is none so sweet or succu- 

 lent." G. ROULE.AU, 

 i Auburn, Me.
