There is often hig money in little things, and Pop Corn is one of the little things of big profit. It yields from 8 to If 
Oi fiO rAD\ tons of shocked corn per acre of the best feeding value. The small ears mature early and are valuable for young stock 
— g-^§ ff*' 1,3 0 ^ = == especially during the fall and winter months. Thousands of car loads of Pop Corn are used annually for popping p Ur ; 
A w K 1 poses since Cracker-Jack and other like preparations have come into use. Many tons of such Pop Corn novelties are 
- - -hipped toforeig-n countries where Pop Corn has been unknown. Plant some of the varieties. We offer some good ones 
Baby Golden Pop Corn 
Baby Golden Pop Corn, 
Of the Rice type, the smallest Pop Corn in existence. 
This is the first season we have been able to offer 
this pop corn, having"only secured sufficient seed two 
years ago to test it and give us a little seed stock. Itis 
very prolific, producing from 5 to 10 ears on a single 
plant. The stalks do not exceed 3 feet in height and 
the ears are from 1% to 214 inches in length. The 
kernels are but very little larger than a kernal of rice, 
of a handsome light, lusturous golden color and pop 
without leaving any hard center. We recommend it 
most highly and with all of its good qualities you 
will find it the prettiest pop corn you have ever seen, 
both on the ear and when popped. A few packets 
will produce enough to keep you in pop corn through¬ 
out the winter. Pkt., 6c.; 3 pkts., 15c. 
BED BEAUTY—It is very productive, of a beau¬ 
tiful red color and in every respect a first-class Pop 
Corn. Very tender and delicious and is sure to give 
satisfaction. Per pkt., 6c.; 3 pkts., 10c. 
GOLDEN TOM THUMB—One of the smallest 
Pop Corns grown, growing only about 18 inches high, 
and produces from two to four perfect litttle ears, 
each ear from 2 to 214 inches long with kernels of a 
bright golden yellow, which when popped, expand 
to a large size. Pkt., 5c.; 3 pkts,, 12c.; 6 pkts., 20c. 
IlAriEDALE 
UKOUIFIC—This is a 
remarkable variety and 
is the greatest yielding 
sort ever found among 
PopCorn. Stalks grow 
about 5 feet high and it 
is claimed that as many 
as 12 ears have been 
produced on a single 
stalk. Its popping 
qualities are excellent, 
always pure white, and 
of good flavor. Pkt.

Valuableand Interesting Japanese Productions 
THE CAMPHOR PLANT 
THE CAMPHOR TREE is very inter¬ 
esting and makes a novel pot plant while 
small. This is the plant that camphor is pre¬ 
pared from, and the wood is used in Japan for 
making boxes, cases, etc., its quality being in¬ 
sect proof. It is also claimed that if planted 
among fruit trees they prevent the attack of 
blight. 
The Bureau of Plant Industry at Washing¬ 
ton, D. C., during the past few years has been 
engaged in a study of the Camphor Content of 
trees grown for ornamental purposes. The 
leaves and young twigs cut off in the dorment 
season, have been found to contain from 0.75 
to 1.25 per tent, of camphor, calculated from 
the weight of the fresh clippings. The yield 
from the older wood is less, more camphor be¬ 
ing produced instead. 
The plants can be readily started from seed 
and will grow in pots to a good size, which 
makes a novel plant for the house, garden or 
lawn, but must be protected in winter not be¬ 
ing hardy in our northern climate. 
What would be more interesting than a few 
genuine Camphor Plants growing in pots in 
the house? 
We have imported a quantity of seed direct 
from Japan and Offer them to our customers 
this year with directions for planting. We 
know camphor plants will be a real curiosity 
in any home in this country and urge our cus¬ 
tomers to start a few.

NEW LONG STRING RADISH 
This is a new sort of Japanese Radish the seeds of which we have imported especially for 
our customers. The peculiarity of this variety is to grow over 3 feet long, while the circum¬ 
ference is from 2 to 3 inches. In Japan it is used for many purposes and is esteemed very 
highly for pickling. Be sure and try this very strange and curious radish. Pkt., 10c.: 3

JAPANESE SALAD PLANT, UDO 
THE JAPANESE SAEII> PLANT, UDO, is a vegetable 
which is prepared for the table in the same manner as parsnips oi 
asparagus, it may also be served raw like celery. The growing of 
this vegetable forms an important part of market gardening in 
Japan and this plant also, when fully grown, forms a splendid or¬ 
namental plant*5 to 6 feet high with large leaves in bush form. Oui 
illustration shows a full sized plant, also blanched young shoots 
more than 2 feet long. Sow seed in spring in rich soil andwhon ( 
inches high transplant the young plants in rows 4 feet apart. Allow 
plants to grow all summer when they will attain a height of 4 or S 
feet if soil is rich and given plenty of water. In September cut 
down the plants level with the ground and mound the earth up ovei 
the roots, making a mound 18 inches high by 2 or 3 feet broad at the 
base. The roots will force new shoots up through the mor ' and 
in 40 to 60 days shoots 12 inches long should be produced. These 
can be harvested by partially removing the earth and cutting with 
a sharpe knife close to the root. After all forced roots have been 
cut, cover up the roots with a heavy, warm mulch of earth and 
straw to protect them during the winter and in spring remove the 
mulch. A bed of Udo should yield increasing crops lor s or xd 
years without removal just as an asparagus bed does. 
We believe our customers will find this new Japanese Vegetable 
very profitable and we have a supply of imported seed to offer as 
follows: Per pkt., 6c.; 3 pkts., 15c. 
TEA PLANT SEED 
How many of ov.r customers ever saw a genuine Tea Plant growing? It is quite an interesting 
plant and a few of them growing in any neighborhood will attract much attention we are sure. Ac¬ 
cording to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Tea plants are successfully grown in different parts 
of 4 the U. S. and in describing Home-Grown Tea in one of their Bulletins they say : 
“The cultivation of the tea plant in home gardens is not only profitable, but a great deal of pleas¬ 
ure can be derived from it at the same time that the use of the much adulterated foreign article is 
avoided. This is often found to contain Prussian blue, indigo, turmeric, soapstone, and leaves of 
other plants than tea, some of which are injurious to health. 
In the autumn this beautiful evergreen plant is covered with handsome, fragrant, whitish flow¬ 
ers, having a golden yellow center, making it an excellent ornamental plant. The children as well 
as the older members of the family derive abundant pleasure in plucking and making the leaves 
into tea, although the process is so simple that this work can easily devolve upon an intelligent ser“ 
vant. The crop of an average tea bush is about 3 ounces of cured tea during the season, so that 
100 plants will yield about 18 pounds a year. As a pound makes from 350 to 400 cups of of tea, 50 
plants should furnish a cup of tea apiece to a family of nine for every day in the year.” 
lea plants are not hardy in our northern climate, but can be grown if given protection in winter, 
vve are so much interested in tea plants that we have decided to offer seeds with directions for 
• m °.T s ^i y . ear > s ee d all being imported direct from Japan. There is no house plant that is more interesting and 
attention than genuine tea plants. Why not try them this year. Seeds per pkt., 10c.; 3 pkts., 25c.; 6 pkts., 40c.
