cession, plant every two weeks until middle of July, in rich, well-manured ground, in shallow furrows feet apart, thinning out to 
stand 1 foot apart in the rows, or in hills 3 feet apart each way, thinning out to stand three plants in a hill. 
One pound will plant about 100 hills, or 150 to 200 feet of row

White Rice Pop-Corn 
DANDELION 
POP-CORN 
Pop-Corn is frequently planted 
in the garden as a curiosity and to 
interest and please the children, 
but we would caution gardening 
friends against planting Pop-Corn 
near Sweet Corn, as they cross 
quite readily, and to the detriment 
of both types. Pop-Corn ears 
should be allowed to become 
thoroughly ripened on the stalk 
before they are gathered. The 
grain must be thoroughly dry 
before it can be popped; that is, 
grains a year old will pop more 
satisfactorily than those which are 
freshly gathered. 
A very superior quality of Dandelion greens may be had 
by sowing seed in May or June in very shallow drills, 15 to 
18 inches apart. Seedlings should be thinned to 6 or 8 inches. 
A winter mulch is necessary after the ground becomes firmly 
frozen. Cultivated Dandelions have broader leaves and are 
in every way superior to the wild plants. The leaves are 
popular both for cooking and salads. They require rich soil.
