HENDERSON’S 
Golden Rod 
Sweet Corn 
DELICIOUS GOLDEN GRAINS 
OF RICH FLAVOR 
121. It is ‘worthy of note that the varieties of 
Sweet Corn possessing the finest flavor are those 
that differ radically either in form or color from the 
ordinary sorts. Thus, Black Mexican and the yel- 
low varieties show a strongly marked divergence 
from type in the matter of color, and Country Ger- 
tleman an equally marked divergence i in form, and 
these varieties excel all others in sweetness and 
flavor. - 
When the existing yellow or golden colored vari- 
eties 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 Sto- 
well’s Evergreen and Golden Bantam, and proves 
to be a happy and complete blending of each sort. 
The ear is none too small, nor is it large and bulky, 
but just large enough for ordinary consumption. 
The plants are 6 to 7; feet high, strong, profusely 
leaved, and bear on each stalk, at a convenient 
height, two ears lavishly packed with delicious 
golden grains of appetizing flavor. (See engraving.)

Country Gentleman 
Sweet Corn 
PLUMP, PEARLY-WHITE, MILKY KERNELS | 
FAIRLY MELTING IN THE MOUTH - 
107. When we first placed this Corn before the 
public in 1891, it created a great furore among Corn | 
lovers—and who i 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 aluxury within 
the reach of everybody. As will be noticed in the 
engraving opposite, the kernels are perfectly round 
at the end, but of extraordinary depth, the cob 
being extremely small; nothing, in fact, but a core. 
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 engraving.) |
