376 Black Beauty—Earliest of All 
As large as the New York Improved, but about ten 
days earlier. The skin is a rich, lustrous purplish

liant coloring is uniform over the whole fruit.

calyx are entirely free from spine. Pkt., 10 cts.;

It is of large size and extremely good shape, 
being particularly adapted to slicing, and for 
flavor it cannot be surpassed. It resists drought, 
blight and bad weather to a wonderful degree, 
on account of its strong, upright growth. The 
fruit often measures 18 to 24 inches in circum¬ 
ference (6 to 8 inches in diameter) and is borne 
well above the ground. Pkt., 15 cts.; *4 oz., 40

5441/2 New Golden 
Hulless 
A Delicious New Pop Corn 
that fairly melts in your mouth. 
Ripe ears are 3% to 4 in. long 
and about 2 in. thick and 
blocky. Kernels are sharp or 
pointed and of a golden yellow 
color. Pops pure white with a 
light tinge of cream. Among 
the things that add pleasure to 
country life, pop corn should be 
given a prominent place. For 
affording a pleasant and health¬ 
ful treat for the family during 
the long winter evenings and 
the holiday season it probably 
has no equal. The crisp, flaky 
pop corn is dear to the chil¬ 
dren’s palate and the “pop corn 
and Christmas hemlock spurt¬ 
ing in the fire” have been en¬ 
joyed by both old and young 
for many generations. Packet, 
10 cts.; lb., 14 cts.; y 3 lb., 23 
cts.; lb* 40 cts.; 2 ll»s., 70 cts.;

POP CORN 
545 Australian or Japanese Hulless 
Also known in some sections as 
Baby Rice, Tom Thumb, or Bumble 
Bee Popcorn. The Australian Hulless 
is a dwarf-growing corn, a heavy yielder 
of attractive ears, peculiar in form, be¬ 
ing nearly as thick as long. The kernels 
are similar to the best strains of White 
Rice, only longer and slimmer and 
pearly white in color, but its crowning 
merit lies in its popping quality, fine 
flavor and absence of hull or shell. Most 
tender and delicious flavor when popped. 
Packet, 5 cts.; % lb., 10' cts.; *4 lb., 16 cts.; 
lb., 28 cts.; 2 lbs., 50 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.10',
