<^SWEET CORN 



FOR VERY EARLY. 



The Best, The Largest, The Sweetest, 



and the Biggest Yielder of all 

 EARLY SWEET CORNS. 



(^ S the finest of all Sweet 

 jjX Corns for the private 

 *^ table. The arrange- 

 ment of the kernels on the 

 cob indicates high quality. 

 The moment the teeth 

 sink into this luscious, 

 milky, tender Corn, you 

 will become 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 enclosed 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 produces three, many times four, 

 and occasionally five and six ears to a stalk. But the great 

 merit of the "Country Gentleman" Com is its delicious 

 quality; it is, without doubt, the sweetest and most tender of 

 any Sweet Corn. (See cut.) Price, 15c. i pt., 25c. pt., 40c. 

 qt., $1.75 pk., $5.50 bush. 



WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT IT: 



" / wish to say a word in favor of your Country Gentleman Corn which 

 is the sweetest and most productive we have ever raised or eaten. It is grand!" 



WIL.MER HAMMOND, SoUilt, III. 

 '^The Country Gentleman Sweet Corn is the best and sweetest we have ever 

 raised or eaten." Mrs. N. W. BON NELL, Springfield, N. J . 



"I wish to speak in praise of your Country Gentleman Sweet Corn. We 

 thought it the best, sweetest corn we ever tasted, and it lasted so long 'in the 

 milk' condition we will never be without it." 



Mrs. C. M. CHAPMAN, Deer Creek, III. 

 "We are now feasting on the Country Gentleman. Having used'it for 

 years can truly say there is no other sweet corn anywhere equal to it." 



ROBERT P. ORR. Haitland, N. C 



T is safe to say that 

 there has never been on 

 the market any one va- 

 riety of Corn that combined 

 the essential features of 

 earliness and good flavor 

 in a satisfactory degree. 

 In these important charac- 

 teristics, "Metropolitan" 

 certainly outclasses any 

 other variety. It is only 

 two days later than Cory, 

 which has been the most 

 popular early sort. 



The plant is distinct, be- 

 ing very strong in stalk, 

 growing 5J 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 tender. It 

 is not merely sweet, but 

 possesses that exquisite 

 richness so well known in 

 the larger and later sorts. 

 An ample husk insures its 

 remaining in the "milk" 

 longer than is usual with 

 early varieties. (See cut.) 

 Price, 15c. ^ pt., 25c. pt.,

"Your Metropolitan Sweet Corn 

 was certainly the sweetest and most 

 succulent corn I ever ate." 

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



"Havijig enjoyed our last mesa 

 of your Metropolitan Sweet Corn, 

 1 suggest that you are warranted 

 in adding to your catalogue de- 

 scription its 'evergreen' qualities. 

 Last year I planted it in the same 

 garden and at same dates with 

 Stowetl's Evergreen and found it 

 outdid the latter in length of time 

 it remained in table condition. 

 This year four plantings of Metro- 

 politan kept our table supplied 

 from Aug. 14th to Oct. 27th. It 

 remains a long time 'in the milk.*" 

 — L.D.COLLINS, Sec'y The John- 

 son Harvester Co., Batavia, N. Y. 



"I planted a small quantity of 

 your Metropolitan Sweet Corn last 

 season beside Kendel's Early Giant, 

 Cory and Perry's Hybrid. All re- 

 ceived equal attention and Metro- 

 politan was earlier than any, had 

 larger ears, filled better at tip and 

 was vastly superior in tenderness 

 and flavor. It is, indeed, an ac- 

 quisition."— C. J. ROBINSON, 

 Paterson, N. J.
