THE MOST DELICIOUS SWEET CORNS GROWN 
Country Gentleman and Golden Rod 
INTRODUCED BY PETER HENDERSON & CO. 
HENDERSON’S 
COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 
Sweet Corn 
Plump, Pearly-White, Milky Kernels. Retaining 
its Delicate Tenderness even when a little old. 
Very Productive, the ear is nearly all Corn. 
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 docs 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 a luxury within the 
reach of everybody. As will be noticed in the colored 
illustration, the kernels are perfectly round at the 
end, but of extraordinary depth, the cob being ex¬ 
tremely 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 cars to a stalk. It is a slow-maturing variety 
and arrives at full perfection just in time to succeed 
the earlier varieties. (See colored illustration.) 
Price, 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.10 for 4 qts., 
$4.00 peck. 
The Most Delicious Sweet Corn Crown 
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 24 , 1913 . 
HENDERSON’S 
GOLDEN ROD Sweet Corn 
A Perfect Yellow Sweet Corn of Liberal Size. 
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. 
Twenty-five years ago we discarded from our 
catalogues a yellow seeded Sweet Corn on account of 
its small size and lack of flavor, and for many years 
yellow Sweet Corn was practically unknown. In 
fact when the existing varieties 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 Stowcll’s 
Evergreen and Golden Bantam, and proves to be a 
happy and complete blending of each sort. The car 
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 convenient height, two ears 
lavishly packed with delicious golden grains of 
appetizing flavor. (See colored ilhistratiori.) Price, 
loc. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.10for 4 qts., $4.00 peck. 
“Last year I bought seeds from you. Golden Rod Corn and 
others were very splendid, we enjoyed eating them very much."

We can't say enough in favor of IIenderson's Golden Rod 
Sweet Corn. It is most delicious." 
M. CLAPPER,

“ Henderson's Golden Rod Corn has been thoroughly tested 
by us, and continues to give great Satisfaction."
