SWEET CORN 



LATE 

 VARIETIES 



Henderson's 



Country Gentleman 



The Most Delicious Sweet Corn in the World 



Plump, Pearly-White, Milky Kernels, Fairly Melting in the Mouth 



1 07 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 milk" 

 longer than other Sweet Corn. The cars 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 illustration.)

StowelPs Evergreen 



1 *?n Long recognized everywhere as a standard variety, both for home use and 

 loU market, and is a general favorite. The ears are of a large size, grains deep, 

 exceptionally tender and sugary, and have the advantage of remaining longer in the 

 green state than any other. Our stock has been carefully grown and selected to avoid 

 the tendency to a shorter grain and deterioration in the evergreen character of this 

 best of all late sorts.
