“/ am very much pleased wilh your Melropolitan 
Sugar Corn. It was very fine, I never ate better. ” 
J. E. A. GIBES, Raphine, Va. 
“ IKe had splendid results from the Metropolitan 
Corn last season, nearly every stalk produced three 
fine ears."

''Metropolitan'' and "Country Gentleman” 
H enderson-s country gentleman 
-. SWEET CORN 
Plump. Pearly-'V^hite, Milky Kernels, fairly Melting in the 
mouth. Retaining its DELICATE TENDERNESS even 
when a little old. VERY PRODUCTIVE, each stalk 
yielding 3 and often 4 ears. 
When wc 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 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 arc 
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 
veiy prolific, often producing four ears to a stalk. 
It is a slow-growing 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, 'T have found no Rreen 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."

HENDERSON'S 
METROPOLITAN 
Sweet Corn 
FOR "VEFkY EARLY" 
The Best, the Largest, the Sweetest 
and the BIGGEST YIELDER 
OF ALL EARLY SWEET CORNS 
It is safe to say that there has never been 
on the market any one variety of Corn that 
combined the essential features of earliness, 
productiveness and good flavor in a satisfactory 
degree. In these important characteristics, 
“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, being very strong in 
stalk, growing 53-^ 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 arc 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 rich¬ 
ness 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.
