Lb. 20c, prepaid.—Not prepaid, 5 lbs. 80c. See Blue 
Figure Price List for larger quantities. 
NORTHERN GROWN POP CORN 
Pop corn is a profitable crop and one that is always easily disposed of, because of the large demand for corn 
for popping. It yields well even in unfavorable corn seasons. It is an excellent crop for the boys and girls to 
grow, and yields almost as much good fodder as field corn. 
Plant 12 pounds to the acre, in drills, or use 6 pounds 
if planted in hills. Plant in rows 3 feet apart, dropping 
the seed 1% feet apart in the rows. We have discarded 
all but the outstanding varieties of Pop Corn and proven 
money-makers. Such old timers as White Bice and White 
Spanish cannot compete in quality and flavor' with the 
newer introductions. 
249. JAPANESE HULLESS —This dwarf corn is 
used extensively by pop corn venders. The ears are only 
2 to 3 inches long, but every kernel on the cob will pop, 
so there is no waste. Japanese Hulless Pop Corn is al¬ 
most again as productive as White Bice. The kernels are 
longer and more slender, and have no hulls. 2*4 oz. pkt. 
5c, V2 lb. 20c, lb. 35c, 2 lbs. 60c, prepaid.—Not prepaid, 
5 lbs. $1.00, 15 lbs. and more at 18c per lb. 
251. BLACK BEAUTY POP CORN —A pop corn 
novelty of genuine merit. Easy to grow and mature 
wherever Jap Hulless can be grown. Black Beauty pro¬ 
duces long straight ears filled with large black kernels. 
Pops up to hugh white pop corn of unusual flavor and 
exceptional tenderness. This tremendous volume of 
popped corn makes Black Beauty very desirable for 
making pop corn balls or any other pop corn confection.

THE POP CORN SENSATION OF THE AGE 
250. “FARIGOLD” SOUTH AMERICAN YELLOW --This 
new variety has taken the country by storm. It is a real Pop Corn 
sensation—pops the largest kernels of any variety—has a rich golden 
butter color—very fine flavor and is exceptionally crisp and tender. 
The ears are much larger than other varieties—7 to 9 inches long and 
the kernels are golden yellow color. It is the most profitable variety 
to grow as it produces more bushels per acre on account of its large 
ears. This Pop Corn is of South American origin. We have success¬ 
fully matured our own special seed crop here in Minnesota so that the 
seed we offer will mature earlier. S. A. Yellow Pop Corn cannot be 
equalled for popping quality—it pops almost double volume of bulk 
of other varieties and therefore is in great demand by poppers, or for 
home consumption. (See inside back cover.) Northern Strain: Pkt. 8c, 
y 2 lb. 25c, lb. 40c, 2 lbs. 70c, prepaid.—Not prepaid, 5 lbs. $1.25, 15 lbs.

Pop Corn Habit Approved by Medical Leaders 
The Minnesota State Medical Association in a recent bulletin offered 
this prescription: ‘‘One fistful of Pop Corn, one old popper and one 
hot fire.” Doctors think Pop Corn should be made almost an every¬ 
day affair. It has a high protein content and supplies vitamins and 
roughage.
