POP CORN-Leading Varieties. 



Pop Cksrn should be found in every garden, especially if there are 

 children to enjoy it during the long winter evenings which bring young 

 people together forsocial amusement. It is a fact not generally known 

 that Pop Com pops best when more than one year old, and that when 

 well popped it becomes twenty times its natural size: thus a quart 

 and a half will make nearly a bushel of popped corn. In the illustra- 

 tion will be seen a convenient "popper," which may be bought for a 

 trifle from a hardware store or easily made of wire netting. Did you 

 ever try Pop Corn as a money-making crop? You will be surprised at 

 the result. There is always a good market at a fair price, and if you 

 plant my selected stock seed you will be able to sell your cron to 

 planters in your vicinity at a greatly advanced price.
