PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE 



11 



GOLDEN BANTAM SWEET CORN 



While the individual plant and ear are small, it may be planted 

 so much closer than the larger-eared sorts, so that the net product 

 from a given area is about the same as of ordinary sorts. The 

 plant is about 5 feet high, medium early, but of exceptionally 

 good quality. In all respects it is a gem — in size of plant, ear 

 and grain. Price, 55c. qt., $2.50 peck, $9.00 bush. 



HENDERSON'S METROPOLITAN SWEET CORN 



A Great Favorite on the Market. Ready Right After the Extra 

 Early Sorts 



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 o}/o 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 ears have a liberal 

 husk, which insures a fresh condition on reaching the market. 



LONG ISLAND BEAUTY SWEET CORN 



This desirable variety is well known in the markets of New York 

 City and other large cities in the east. 



It is a cross between Stowell's Evergreen and Late Mammoth 

 and will mature within 100 days. 



Long Island Beauty produces large ears filled from butt to tip 

 with milky-white kernels of delicious quality, and averages three 

 ears to a stalk. The husk is very dark green in color and the 

 plant is luxuriant, healthy and vigorous. (See engraving.) Price, 

 50c. qt., $2.00 peck, $7.00 bush. 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN SWEET CORN 



Grown almost exclusively for the last marketing. It is one of 

 the best known sorts, and is valued not only for its sureness in 

 crop production, but for its great popularity on the market and 

 remarkably good quality. Our strain is excellent in every respect. 

 Price, 50c' qt., $2.20 pk., $7.50 bush. 



Price, 55c. qt., $2.50 pk., $9.00 bush. 



HENDERSON'S COUNTRY GENTLEMAN SWEET CORN 



This is always in great demand for hotel or fancy local trade, where its 

 superb quality commands top prices. It is a main crop variety and our stock is 

 just as good aswhen we first introduced it. Price, 55c. qt., $2.50 pk., $9.00 bush.
