Henderson’s 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 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 everybody. As will 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 miutk” 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 perfection just in time to succeed the earlier varieties. (See engraving opposite.)

The Most Delicious Sweet Corn Grown 
Mr. Thomas M. Whyte, buyer of the stores for one of New York’s palatial hotels, says: 
“T have found no green Corn so satisfactory as the Country Gentleman. It is sweet and juicy, free from worms or blemish. ft will not be in market before 
early in August and then New York will begin feasting on the most delicious of Sweet Corn, the Country Gentleman.” —N. Y. Evening Mail, July 24. 
Henderson’s GOLDEN Country Gentleman Sweet Corn 
A Great Novelty for 1926. Combines the Inherent Goodness of the White Variety, with the 
Golden Color Now in Favor 
(See Colored Plate on Page 27) 
123. A full description of this great novelty will be found on page 26 and a color plate on page 27. 
Four 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 the white Country Gentleman with the golden color now so much in favor. Hender- 
son’s Golden Country Gentleman Sweet Corn represents the culmination of our endeavors, and we are very happy to offer 
it to our friends this year; but only in small quantities because our stock is as yet very limited. Price per packet, 50c. 
-SPECIAL—We will forward « one. packet each of the three best sweet corns on earth, and include one of Henderson's 
fs. Golden Country Gentleman; 4 pkts. in all for 85c., postpaid.
