POPCORN. 



(fnairfcrn.) 



In every garden this should be grown for the benefit of the chil- 

 dren, who delight in parching it, and in making "Popcorn Balls." 

 A more innocent and pleasurable amusement could 

 hardly be found for them duiing winter evenings. 

 On account of its small grains. Popcorn is also 

 valuable for feeding to young chicks and other 

 poultry, it being considered much more healthful 

 for them than the bread or dough generally used. 

 It requires only ordinarv culture, and may be sown 

 thickly in rows. Pkt. 5 cte., pt. 13 cts., qt. 25 cts.
