 7 feet high, strong, and bear on each 

 stalk, two ears 8 to 9 in. long, packed

 graving.) Price, 2 lbs. 60c, 12 lbs. $2.75, 

 (Bush.) 46 lbs. $9.00. 



SWEET CORN 



GOLDEN COUNTRY 

 GENTLEMAN (Henderson's) 



Introduced by us in 1926. 

 A variety now in great favor with the 

 Market Grower and Commercial Canner. 



Some 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 Country Gentleman with 

 the distinct flavor and rich yellow color of 

 Golden Bantam. 



After crossing these two varieties, and 

 making selections over a period of years, our 

 efforts were rewarded with success. Golden 

 Country Gentleman combines all the sugary 

 sweetness, tenderness and luscious flavor of 

 the original Country Gentleman, with the 

 rich, sweet flavor and color of Golden 

 Bantam. 



The ears are practically as large as White 

 Country Gentleman. The kernels are with- 

 out row formation; that is, well arranged in 

 zig-zag pattern — and the remarkable depth 

 of kernel characterizing the white parent, is 

 fully retained in the new variety. The plants 

 are uniform and very prolific, producing two 

 well formed ears to a stalk, which mature 

 about 10 days later than Golden Bantam. 

 (See engraving.) Price, 2 lbs. 80c, 



$12 lbs. 3.60, (Bush.) 46 lbs. $12.00. 



GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 



A New Disease-Resisting Sweet Corn — 



Immune from Bacterial Disease 



Shown in Colors on Front Cover 



It fills a long-felt want, viz.- — a sweet corn 

 not susceptible to the prevalent bacterial 

 diseases that have devasted many plantings 

 in the past. 



The ears of Golden Cross Bantam are 

 larger than its prototype Golden Bantam, as 

 they carry usually ten to fourteen rows of 

 kernels. It matures about four days later 

 than Golden Bantam, but it is quite equal to 

 it in quality. 



This variety originated at the Purdue Ex- 

 perimental Station at Lafayette, Ind. 



Price, lb. 66c, 12 lbs. $6.00, (Bush.) 45 lbs. 

 $18.00. 



Henderson's METROPOLITAN 



A Great Favorite on the Market. Ready 

 Right After the Extra Early Sorts 



Metropolitan combines the essential fea- 

 tures of earliness, productiveness, and good 

 flavor in a satisfactory degree. In these im- 

 portant characteristics, Metropolitan cer- 

 tainly outclasses most varieties. 



Metropolitan is just about a week later 

 than the very early sorts, and is equal in 

 quality to the main crop varieties. It grows 

 about 5^4 ft- high. The ears are 9 inches 

 long, 10 to 12 rowed, well filled to the tip 

 with large grains of excellent quality. It is 

 a sturdy plant and grows easily. The best, 

 the largest, the sweetest and the biggest 

 yielder of all Early Sweet Corn. The ears 

 have a liberal husk, which insures a fresh 

 condition on reaching the market. 



Price, 2 lbs. 60c, 12 lbs. $2.60, (Bush.) 

 45 lbs. $8.00. 



MEDIUM EARLY 

 VARIETIES 



The American Public is Sweet Corn hungry. Grow enough — extend the season to its limits by growing early medium and late sorts.
