The Three Most Delicious Sweet Corns Grown 
ALL INTRODUCED BY PETER HENDERSON & CO. (See opposite page)

HENDERSON’S 
HENDERSON’S 
Golden Bantam Sweet Corn 
A. Gem for the Small Garden A Small Ear of Remarkable Quality 
ONE OF THE SWEETEST SUGAR CORNS GROWN 
Golden Bantam is a dwarf medium, early variety of exceptionally 
good quality and reliability. It is rapidly becoming one of the most 
I popular varieties in our list. While the individual plant and ear are 
I small, it may be planted so much closer than the larger-eared 
pL sorts, so that the net product from a given area is about the 
LI 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. It is particularly 
well adapted to small gardens, on account of its small size; to the 
more pretentious garden on account of its excessive cropping ability 
on a given area, and to all because of its superb quality and deli¬ 
cious, satisfying flavor. It may be planted to advantage in hills 
three feet apart each way. If in rows, they should be three feet 
apart, and the plants standing singly at nine-inch intervals. 
It is probably the best to use where only one sort is planted, for 
it succeeds admirably under all conditions. (See engraving.)

“I would like to say that I received great results from your seeds. I 
had corn ten days before anyone else. All the other seeds did well, too.” 
Mr. LOUIS D UBORD, Medford, Mass. 
“We bought some of your Golden Bantam Sweet Corn last year , and 
it was absolutely the finest stock we have ever grown. On six hills we 
counted 52 good cars of corn. The balance was almost as good.” 
B. JO H NSO N, Oswego, N. V 
H is perhaps not generally known that Sweet Corn is much more tender and retains its flavor belter when pul into cold water and gradually 
brought to the boiling point. 
Metropolitan Sweet Corn 
THE BEST EARLY SWEET CORN GROWN 
To get the first crop of really good Sweet 
Corn, grow Henderson’s Metropolitan. There 
has never been any one variety of Corn be¬ 
sides Metropolitan that combined the es¬ 
sential features of earliness, productiveness 
and good flavor in a satisfactory degree. In 
these important characteristics, Metropolitan 
certainly outclasses any other variety. It 
is very little later than Cory, which has been 
the most popular early sort. 
The plant is distinct, being very strong in 
stalk, growing 55^ feet in height. The leaves 
are numerous, narrow and very dark green in 
color. The cars are from 8 to 9 inches long 
and all set low. They are 10 to 12-rowcd, 
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 
The best, the largest, the sweetest and the 
biggest yielder of all Early Sweet Corn. (See 
engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 40c. pt., 70c. 
qt., $2.60 for 4 qts. 
Golden Rod Sweet Corn 
DELICIOUS GOLDEN GRAINS 
OF PLEASING FLAVOR 
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 yellow varieties show a 
strongly marked divergence from type in the 
matter of color, and Country Gentleman an 
equally marked divergence in form, and these 
varieties excel all others in sweetness and 
flavor. 
When the existing yellow or golden colored 
varieties were introduced, it was hard to 
convince the public of their value; but as 
everyone who tasted them became enthusi¬ 
astic in publishing their praise, they soon 
came into favor. 
Golden Rod is the result of a cross between 
Stowell’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 G to 7 feet high, strong, profusely 
leaved, and bear on'each stalk, at a con¬ 
venient height, two ears lavishly packed 
with delicious golden grains of appetizing 
flavor. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 
40c. pt., 70c. qt., $2.60 for 4 qts. 
Country Gentleman 
Sweet Corn 
PLUMP, PEARLY-WHITE, MILKY KERNELS 
When we first placed this Corn before the 
public in 1891, it created a great furore 
among Corn 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 Gentleman Corn has become justly 
famous all over the United States and in 
some foreign countries as well. Jt is at once 
the delight of the epicure and a luxury within 
the reach of everybody. As will be noticed 
in the engraving opposite, the kernels are 
perfectly round at the end, but of extraor¬ 
dinary 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.) 
Price, 15c. pkt., 40c. pt., 70c. qt., $2.60 for 
4 qts. 
“Enclosed find money order to cover seed as 
shown on attached order blank. I would like to 
mention that I have tried a number of kinds of 
sweet corn, but have discarded all for Henderson's 
Country Gentleman.”. 
W. D. FERRIS, 
Atlanta, Ga. 
“ Henderson's Country Gentleman Corn is with¬ 
out a rival. None other can take its place.”. 
JOHN E. ANDERSON, 
Holly Springs, Miss. 
" Henderson's Golden Rod Corn was my best 
seller this year. It took the prize in our town. 
People have come to my home and bought it in 
hundred lots.”. 
Mr. JAMES II. DULE, 
Coplay, Pa. 
“ Your Golden Rod Sweet Corn is great.” 
Mr. J. E. BRU NDRETT, 
Needham Heights, Mass. 
“Last year I bought some of your Golden Rod 
Sweet Corn. Will say it was the very best I ever 
raised .” Mr. Q. SA NGER, 
Putnam, Conn. 
“Our success with your seeds this summer has 
been a delight to us, and an amazement to our 
friends. The Metropolitan Sweet Corn was es¬ 
pecially good.” 
Mrs. FRED'I< LEIGHTON, 
Niagara Falls, N. Y. 
“The Henderson Metropolitan Sweet Corn was 
the best I have ever tasted without exception.” 
C. E. PRESTON, Derry, N. II.
