SWEET CORN 



Henderson's Country Gentleman 



Introduced by Peter Henderson &• Co., 1892 

 The Most Delicious Sueet Corn in the World 

 Plump, Pearly- White, Milky Kernels, Fairly Melting In the Month 



1 fi7 Wnen we firs* Placed this Corn before the public in 1892, it created a 

 1W 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. 



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 perfection just in time to 

 succeed the earlier varieties. (See illustration. )

Henderson's 



Golden Country Gentlemen 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co., 1926 

 10^ Five years ago we conceived the idea that it would be a great accom- 

 1 plishment if we could combine the nectar-like sweetness and milky 



character of Country Gentleman with a golden variety. 



Our efforts were rewarded with unlooked-for success in retaining, as 

 we have been able to do, all the sugary sweetness, tenderness and lusciousness 

 of the original Country Gentleman with the rich golden color now in such 

 favor with lovers of sweet corn. Its appearance is most inviting — the color 

 lieing a glistening, glowing, golden yellow, hard to describe or even to repro- 

 duce in a colored plate. 



The ears are not quite as large as white Country Gentleman; but the re- 

 markable depth of kernel characterizing the original variety is fully retained 

 in the new, as well as the ball-shaped ends of the kernels. It matures a few 

 days earlier than the white. (See illustration. ) 



Price, pkt. 15c; pt. 75c.; qt. $1.25; 4 qts. 4.50; transportation paid. 



Stowells Evergreen 



LATE VARIETIES 



130 



Long recognized every- 

 where as a standard 

 variety, both for home use and 

 market, and is a general favorite. 

 The ears are of a large size, 

 grains deep, exceptionally tender 

 and sugary, and have the advan- 

 tage 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. (See illustration.)
