The BEST EARLY and LATE SWEET CORNS 
Metropolitan and Country Gentleman 
“/ have raised your Metropolitan Sweet Corn 
for five years; lam sure there is none better." 
G. ROULEAU, Auburn, Me. 
"I am very much pleased with your Metropolitan 
Sugar Corn. It 7vas very fine; I never ale belter.” 
J. E. A. GIBBS, Raphine, Va. 
To get the first crop of really good Corn, one must grow Metropolitan 
To be sure of the best quality at the last Country Gentleman is indispensable 
Henderson's COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 
= SWEET CORN = 
Plump, Pearly-White, Milky Kernels, Retaining its DELI¬ 
CATE TENDERNESS even when a little old. VERY 
PRODUCTIVE, the ear is nearly all Corn. 
When we first placed this Com before the 
public in 1891, it created a great furore among 
Com lovers—and who 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 Gentle¬ 
man 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 a luxury within the reach of everybody. 
As will be noticed in the cut, 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 
eight to nine 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 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 
40c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk. 
THE MOST DELICIOUS SWEET CORN GROWN 
Mr. Thomas M. Whyte, buyer of the stores for the 
Hotel Knickerbocker, one of New York’s palatial hotels 
says, “I have found no green Corn so satisfactory as the 
Country Gentleman. It is sweet and juicy, free from 
worms or blemish. It will not be in market before early 
August and then New York will begin feasting on the 
most delicious of Sweet Corn, the Country Gentleman.” 
N. Y. Evening Mail, July 2J,, 1913. 
HENDERSON'S 
METROPOLITAN 
Sweet Corn 
FOR VEKY EARLY 
The Best, the Largest, the Sweetest 
and the BIGGEST YIELDER 
OF ALL EARLY SWEET CORNS 
There has never been any one variety of Corn 
beside Metropolitan that combined the essential 
features of earliness, productiveness and good 
flavor in a satisfactory degree. In these impor¬ 
tant characteristics, Metropolitan certainly out¬ 
classes any other variety. It is very little 
later than Cory, which has been the most popu¬ 
lar early sort. 
The plant is distinct, being very strong in 
stalk, growing 5 l A feet in height. The leaves 
are numerous, narrow and very dark green in 
color. The ears are from 8 to 9 inches long and 
all set low. They are 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. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 
pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk.
