CROP, 
HENDERSON’S 
Country Gentleman 
Sweet Corn 
FOR MAIN CROP. 
The Most Delicious Sweet Corn Grown. 
Plump, Pearly-White, Atilky Kernels, fairly melt¬ 
ing in the mouth. Retaining its Delicate Tender- 
ness even when a little old. Very Productive, 
each stalk yieklinR 3 and often 4 ears; even 6 ears 
to a stalk occasionally. .* .• .* .* .• .• / 
H I^NDERSON’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 epic ire.' 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 
dc])th 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,

HENDERSON’S 
Metropolitan 
Sweet Corn = 
FOR 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 and good flavor in a satisfactory 
degree. In these im]:)ortant characteristics, 
“ Metropolitan ” certainly outclasses any 
other variety. It is only two daj-s later 
than Cory, which has been the most popular 
earlv sort. 
The plant is distinct, being verv strong in 
stalk, growing 5J 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.

“ Your Metropolitan Sweet Corn is certainly the 
sweetest and most succulent corn I ever ate.*’ 
E. //. PLATT, Watervliet, N. Y. 
"Having enjoyed our last mess of your Metropolitan 
Sweet Corn, 1 suggest that you are warranted in adding 
to your catalogue description its 'ei-ergreen* qualities. 
Last year 1 jdanted it in the same garden and at same 
dates with Stoweti's Evergreen and found it outdid the 
latter in length of time it remahied in table condition. 
This year four plantings of Metropolitan kept our table 
supplied from Aug. 14ih to Oct. 27th. It remains a long 
time 'in the milk’** L.D.COLLINS, Sec’y, 
The Johnson Harvester Co., 
Batavia, N. Y. 
‘ I planted a small quantity of your M etropolilan 
Sweet Corn last season beside KendeVs Early Giant, Cory 
and Perry’s Hybrid. All received equal attcyition an5 
Metropolitan was earlier than any, had larger ears, filled 
better at tip and was vastly superior in tenderness and 
flavor. It is, indeed, an ocfiuisition." 
C. J. ROBINSON, Paterson, N. J.

Sugar Corn was very fine. I never ate better."
