SWEET 

 CORN 



The result of years of selection of 

 the earliest and best ears of White Cob

 character for earliness. The plants are 

 very uniform in height, the ears are of 

 good size, the rows set close together 

 and the quality is excellent. (See 

 engraving).

HENDERSON'S 

 METROPOLITAN 



SWEET CORN 



A Great Favorite on the Market. Ready 



Right After the Extra Early Sorts. 



Metropolitan is iust about a week 

 later than the very early sorts, and is 

 equal in quality to the main crop 

 varieties. It grows about 5 Y2 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. 



Price, 40c. qt., $2.50 pk., $9.00 bnsh. 



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. (See engraving.) 



Price, 40c. qt., $2.50 peck. $9.00 bush. 



The Henderson s ™= e n t 



This ideal Corn is ready for the table about a week before the latest sorts and very 

 popular on the market. The "Henderson" Corn produces uniformly large, thick ears, com- 

 pactly filled from butt to tip with long, milky white kernels of luscious tenderness. The 

 plant is luxuriant, healthy and vigorous. Price, 35c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 bush. 



STOWELL'S EVERGREEN s corn t

 market and remarkably good quality. Our strain is excellent in every respect. (See engraving.)
