SEPTEMBER MORN SWEET CORN 
AN EXTREMELY LARGE, VERY SWEET VARIETY 
SEPTEMBER MORN has ears fully twelve inches long 
and at times they reach fourteen inches in size. They are six 
to seven inches in circumference and have sixteen rows of 
very deep kernels. It is really immense in size and combines 
with this an unusual feature—really high quality, being ten¬ 
der and extraordinarily sweet. 
SEPTEMBER MORN is both a heavy yielder and has a 
very thick husk. This latter feature makes it very resistant 
to worms and there will be little if any loss from this source. 
SEPTEMBER MORN matures late in August or early in 
September, a time when hardly any sweet corn is on the mar¬ 
ket. Here in Council Bluffs it retails for 20c to 30c the dozen 
ears. And it is such a ready seller; simply display a few 
ears with the husks partly stripped off and the corn sells 
itself. After one or two trips you’ll find the demand well 
established and your whole crop will sell without further 
effort. Pkt. 10c; 1 lb. 30c, prepaid. Not prepaid: 10 lbs. $1.30; 
100 lbs. $11.00.

Which Kale Is the Best? 
Evergreen Gem is the choicest of all curly Kales at present, 
highly profitable and the only variety to use, when grown on a large 
scale for shipping, etc. 
KALE deserves far more attention than it has commanded thus 
far in this country. It is easily grown, being of the cabbage family 
and handled in exactly the same way. It forms no heads. The 
flavor is distinct and not readily compared with that of other vege¬ 
tables though some contend it resembles cabbage in this respect.

this corn it, in a high degree. It pops exceptionally large, the popped

How to Make Dill Pickles 
Freshly gathered perfectly formed and sound, carefully washed 
cukes are placed in jars or barrels in layers with lavers of dill 
either fresh or dried and the jars filled with brine. For quick con¬ 
sumption make the brine by adding pint of vinegar and 4 ozs of 
salt to each gallon of water: if you wish the pickles to keep for a 
longer time, use twice as much vinegar and salt. Place a board 
with a weight on the top of the cukes, to keep them submerged. 
In warm weather the pickles will be ready in 8-10 days, In cool 
weather it takes as long as 4 weeks. 
UIEL—The green leaves are used for pickles and for flavoring 
sauces. Pkt. 5c: oz. 10c: y 4 lb. 20c: lb. 80c. 
AN IMMENSE CROP of pickling cucumbers will vou get by cut¬ 
ting off the tips of vines and keeping them cut to the length of 4 
ft. At ALL times pick your vines CLEAN. If the market price is 
not below the cost of production, sell, otherwise feed vour cukes 
to pigs. Vines picked clean will keep on bearing. Should the price 
be what it should be. you will have cukes to sell. Make 3 to 4 
successive plantings. If your first planting goes haywire, there are 
3 more plantings to fall back upon. As they say, there is more than 
one way to skin the cat. Every way has to be used nowadays if 
one does not want to go crazy trying to figure out how to meet the 
taxes.

Of all Kales, Evergreen Gem is the best and most profitable vari¬ 
ety. When fully developed (50 days from date of sowing) the plants 
stand 18 to 24 inches high, of very dense growth, very spreading and 
rest directly on the ground. Being so to say anchored to the ground 
are not affected by high winds. The leaves are as heavily curled as 
the best strains of curled parsley, very attractive in appearance of 
distinct, intense, deep green color with a bluish sheen. The leaves 
never turn yellow even after being exposed to several frosts. Mark¬ 
edly different from other Kales as it branches out of the bud instead 
of from the stalk, producing many more leaves than the old varieties 
and is unsurpassed in yielding qualities, 500 barrels per acre being 
the average crop. The leaves being very densely curled have high 
carrying qualities for long distance shipping. Try this Kale. We 
assure you that you will find it the finest and by far the most 
profitable variety. For best results plant in rows 30 in. apart, 8 to 
10 in. apart in the rows, thinning out when the plants are 4 to 5 
inches tall. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; (4 lb. 25c; lb. $1.00; 10 lb. $8.50 pre¬
