early THE TWO BEST SWEET CORNS ON EARTH Sffi 
HENDERSON'S 
Country Gentleman 
Sweet Corn 
FOK MAIN CROP 
The Most Delicious Sweet Corn Grown 
Plump, Pearly-White, Milky Kernels, fairly Melting in 
the mouth. Retaining its Delicate Tenderness even 
when a little old. Very Productive, each stalk yield¬ 
ing 3 and often 4 ears; even 6 ears to a stalk occasionally. 
H ENDERSON'S Country Gentleman is 
the finest of all Sweet Corns for the 
private table. The arrangement of 
the kernels on the cob indicates high qual¬ 
ity. The moment the teeth sink into this 
luscious, milky, tender Corn you will be¬ 
come 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 en¬ 
closed 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 pro¬ 
duces three, many times four, and occa¬ 
sionally five and six ears to a stalk. But 
the great merit of the “Country Gentle¬ 
man” Corn is its delicious quality; it is, 
without doubt, the sweetest and most ten¬ 
der of any Sweet Corn. {See cut.) Price, 10c. 
pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk.

HENDERSON'S 
METROPOLITAN 
Sweet Corn 
FOK VERY EARLY 
The Best, The Largest, The Sweetest 
and the BIGGEST YIELDER 
OF ALL EARLY SWEET CORNS 
I T 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 char¬ 
acteristics,“Metropolitan” certainly outclass¬ 
es any other variety. It is only two days later 
than Cory, which lias been the most popular 
early sort. 
The plant is distinct, being very strong in 
stalk, growing 5i 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 ten¬ 
der. It is not merely sweet, but possesses 
that exquisite richness so well known in the 
larger and later sorts. An ample husk in¬ 
sures its remaining in the “milk” longer 
than is usual with early varieties. (See 
cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c.‘ pt., 40c. qt., $1.25 
for 4 qts., $2.00 pk.
