"7 feai/e raised your Metropolitan Sweet Com
for five years; lam sure there is none better."
G. ROULEAU, Auburn, Me.
"I ant very much pleased with your Metropolitan
Sugar Corn. It was very fine; I never ale better."
J. E. A. GIBBS, Raphine, Va.
Metropolitan and Country Gentleman
To get the first crop of really good Corn, one must grow Metropolitan
To be sure of the best quality at the last Country Gentleman is indispensable
Henderson's COUNTRY GENTLEMAN
— SWEET CORN
Plump, Pearly-White. Milky Kernels, Retaining its DELI-
CATE 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
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 are
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
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 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, "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
METROPOLITAN
Sweet Corn
FOR VEKY EARLY
The Best, the Largest, the Sweetest
and the BIGGEST YIELDER
OF ALL EARLY SWEET CORNS
There has never been any one variety of Corn
beside Metropolitan that combined the essential
features of earliness, productiveness and good
flavor in a satisfactory degree. In these impor-
tant characteristics, Metropolitan certainly out-
classes any other variety. It is very little
later than Cory, which has been the most popu-
lar early sort.
The plant is distinct, being very strong in
stalk, growing 5^ feet in height. The leaves
are numerous, narrow and very dark green in
color. The ears are from 8 to 9 inches long and
all set low. They are 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 richness so well known in the
larger and later sorts. (See cut.) Price, 10c.
pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk.
