GROW POPCORN 
THIS YEAR 
<:< POP CORN 
YOU WILL ENJOY 
IT NEXT WINTER 
Popcorn is raised the same as field corn. It should be 
allowed to get thoroughly ripe before cutting. It is very 
easily raised and often proves a profitable crop. 
52—DYNAMITE OR SOUTH AMERICAN 
YELLOW 
New Large Golden 
This is the new large golden popcorn which is so much 
in demand. The kernels are big and when popped make 
large, tender popcorn of the finest quality. The ears are 
large, having 12 to 16 rows, making the yield of shelled 
corn high. The stalk is tall and strong. Not as early as 
some varieties but our northern grown strain matures in 
this climate. 
Pkt., 5c; Vi lb., I5c; Vz lb., 25c; 1 lb., 40c, prepaid. 
53—GIANT BLACK BEAUTY 
One of the earliest varieties. It is one of the best for 
the home garden as it is conceded that this sort makes 
more tender and better quality popcorn than any other 
variety. Corn pops pure white. 
Pkt., 5c; Vi lb., 15c; Vz lb., 25c; I lb., 40c, postpaid. 
SPECIAL NOTICE —"I like my popcorn and have pur¬ 
chased and used about every variety on the market, 
but after trying Giant Black Beauty this past winter, 
will never use any other kind. Owing to the un¬ 
usually thin skin on the kernels, this corn when 
popped is very tender and of the finest quality, being 
almost free from any fiber. DONALD ROSS.." 
TRY A NEW CUCUMBER THIS YEAR 
“X-L” CUCUMBERS 
One ounce for 50 hills; two pounds per acre 
CULTURE—As soon as the weather becomes warm and 
settled in the spring, plant in well-prepared soil in hills 
4 or 5 feet apart each way with 8 or 10 seeds in a hill; 
cover one-half inch deep with soil well firmed to prevent 
too rapid evaporation. When plants are well developed 
weed out all but 4 or 5 of the strongest. Thorough but 
shallow cultivation is essential. 
SLICED ONIONS AND CUCUMBERS 
ARE RICH IN VITAMINS 
Slice onions and cucumbers thin; let stand in cold 
water an hour, drain water off and pour vinegar or 
lemon juice over them 15 minutes before serving. A 
good, healthy dish to eat often.
