 The Best, The Largest, The Sweetest 



and the BIGGEST YIELDER 

 OF ALL EARLY SWEET CORNS 



IT is safe to say that there has never been 

 on the market any one variety of Corn 

 that combined the essential features of 

 earliness, productiveness and good flavor in a 

 satisfactory degree. In these important char- 

 acteristics, "Metropolitan" certainly outclass- 

 es any other variety. It is only two days later 

 than Cory, which has been the most popular 

 early sort. 



The plant is distinct, being very strong in 

 stalk, growing 5 J feet in height. The leaves 

 are numerous, narrow and very dark green 

 in color. The ears, two to three to the plant, 

 are all set low. They are uniformly 9 inches 

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

 with large deep grains, which are very ten- 

 der. It is not merely sweet, but possesses 

 that exquisite richness sD well known in the 

 larger and later sorts. An ample husk in- 

 sures its remaining in the "milk" longer 

 than is usual with early varieties. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c." pt., 40c. qt., $1.25 

 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk. 



" We have had excellent success with your seeds. 

 The Metropolitan Sweet Corn is the finest we ever had." 

 Mrs. E. C. WESTON, 

 22 Summer St., Bangor, Me. 

 " I find your Metropolitan Sweet Coryi to be very early, 

 very sweet, and a great yielder. I do not know of any 

 Early Corn that compares with it." 



.4. P. ROSCOE. New Haven, Ct. 

 "Am pleased to report a yield of 14,200 ears of your 

 Metropolitan Corn from one acre." 



P. W. FACER, E. Norton, Mass. 

 " Your Metropolitan Sweet Corn is certainly the 

 sweetest and most succulent corn I ever ate. " 



E. H. PLATT, Watervliet, N. Y. 



"I find your Metropolitan the most satisfactory Early 

 Sweet Corn for this section." 



N . T. TRUELL, Lachute, Canada. 

 *'You are warranted in adding ^Evergreen' to your 

 catalogue description of Metropolitan Sweet Corn, for it 

 remains a long lime in the milk."

Country Gentleman 



Sweet Corn 



FOK MAIN CROP 

 The Most Delicious Sweet Corn Grown 



Plump, Pearly-While, Milky Kernels, fairly Melting in 

 the mouth. Retaining its Delicate Tenderness even 

 when a little old. Very Productive, each stalk yield- 

 ing 3 and often 4 ears : even 6 ears to a stalk occasionally. 



HENDERSON'S Country Gentleman is 

 the finest of all Sweet Corns for the 

 private table. The arrangement of 

 the kernels on the cob indicates high qual- 

 ity. The moment the teeth sink into this 

 luscious, milky, tender Corn 3'ou will be- 

 come a complete convert to it, for it will 

 delight the most fastidious epicure. It 

 retains its delicate tenderness and flavor 

 even when a little old, as the ears are en- 

 closed in a heavy husk, which tends to 

 keep the ear "in the milk" for several days 

 longer than other Corns. The ears average 

 eight to nine inches in length, cob small 

 and plump, pearly-white kernels of great 

 depth fill the ear from end to end. It pro- 

 duces three, many times four, and occa- 

 sionally five and six ears to a stalk. But 

 the great merit of the "Country Gentle- 

 man" Corn is its delicious quality; it is, 

 without doubt, the sweetest and most ten- 

 der of any Sweet Corn. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk.
