 "I ant very much pleased with your Metropolitan 

 Sugar Corn. It was very fine; I never ale better." 

 J. E. A. GIBBS, Raphine, Va. 



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 DELI- 

 CATE 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 Gentle- 

 man 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 cut, 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 milk" longer 

 than other Sweet Corn. The ears measure 

 eight to nine 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 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 

 40c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk. 



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 feasting on the 

 most delicious of Sweet Corn, the Country Gentleman." 

 N. Y. Evening Mail, July 24, 1913. 



HENDERSON'S 



METROPOLITAN 

 Sweet Corn 



FOR VEKY 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 impor- 

 tant characteristics, Metropolitan certainly out- 

 classes any other variety. It is very little 

 later than Cory, which has been the most popu- 

 lar 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 exquisite richness so well known in the 

 larger and later sorts. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 

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