SWEET CORN 



MID-SEASON and 

 LATE VARIETIES

 black when ripe, are white when "green" and then exceptionally sweet. 



Price, pkt. 10c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c; 8 lbs. $2.25; 15 lbs. S4.00; transportation paid. 



107 COUNTRY GENTLEMAN (Henderson's) 



The Most Delicious Sweet Corn in the World 

 Plump, Pearly-white, Milky Kernels, Fairly Meltingr in the Mouth 



When we first placed this Corn before the public in 1892, 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. 



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 perfec- 

 tion just in time to succeed the earlier varieties. (See illuslralion.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 7Sc; 8 lbs. §2.75; ISlbs. $4.50; transportation paid. 



123 GOLDEN COUNTRY GENTLEMAN (Henderson's) 



{See Color Plate. Page 29) 



It Delights Both the Eye and the Palate 



A few 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 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 lasciousness 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 being a glistening, glowing, golden yellow, hard to describe or even to re- 

 produce in a colored plate. 



The ears are not quite as large as white Country Gentleman but the remarkable 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 davs earlier than the white. 



Price, pkt. 15c; lb. 60c.; 2 lbs. $1.00; 8 lbs. $3.50; transportation paid. 



121 GOLDEN ROD (Henderson's) 



{See Color Plate. Page 29) 



Delicious Golden Grains of Rich Flavor 



When the existing yellow or golden colored varieties were introduced, it was hard to convince 

 the public of their value; but as everyone who tasted them became enthusiastic in publishing 

 their praise, they soon came into favor. 



Golden Rod is the result of a cross between Stowell's Evergreen and Golden Bantam, and 

 proves to be a happy and complete blending of each sort. The ear is just large enough for 

 ordinary consumption. The plants are 6 to 7 feet high, and bear on each stalk, at a convenient 

 height, two ears packed with delicious golden grains of appetizing flavor. 



Price, pkt. 15c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 75c; 8 lbs. $2.75; 15 lbs. $4.50; transportation paid. 



130 STOWELL'S EVERGREEN 



The Best Late Variety 



Long recognized everywhere 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 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 deterior- 

 ation in the evergreen character of this 

 best of all late sorts. {See illuslra- 

 tioti.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 75c; 

 • 8 lbs. $2.75; 15 lbs. $4.50; tran.s-
