 MONARCH 



WHITE RICE 



Kvery grower of Pop 

 Corn is acquainted 

 With White Rice. This 

 is an improvement on 



the old variety, ears being much larger and produced in greater 

 abundance. Six ears on a stalk being a frequent occurrence. Grains 

 are sharply pointed and most excellent for popping. Pkt., 10 cts ; 

 pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts. 



Q,UEEN'S GOLDEN POP 

 CORN.— This is the handsomest 

 of all Pop Corns, and every one 

 of my customers sliould plant 

 at least a few hills of It. It sur- 

 passes all others in yield, size and 

 color. It pops perfectly white and a 

 single kernel will expand to nearly 

 one inch. Often produces from 

 three to four ears to the stalk. 

 In former years demand has exceeded 

 mv supply ; but I have grown for this 

 season's trade a very large stock, so 

 that I think I can promise to fill all 

 orders. Pkt., 15 cts.; pt., 35 cts.; qt., 55 

 cts.; postpaid.
