SEPTEMBER MORN SWEET CORN 
(96 days) 
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.

Pop Corn 
Culture—Wherever field corn grows, pop corn. will. Can be 
planted like field corn 4 plants to each hill or drilled in rows 3% 
feet apart and 10 inches apart in the rows. Pour pounds of seed 
plants an acre. To make money raise pop corn every year, sell 
direct to the stores and establish a steady trade. Even when sold to 
Jobbers or to elevator men there Is good money In it and like with 
everything else there are years when the price is very low for pop 
corn and again when the prices are high and the profits satisfying. 
.SOUTH AMERICAN POP CORN—Same as T. N. T. This yel¬ 
low corn produces heavy ears, it pops exceptionally large, 
the popped corn has a creamy yellow cast, making it ap¬

SUCKERING SWEET CORN is of no benefit at no time under any 
conditions. It is a harmful practice reducing the crop of ears 
25% or more as has been demonstrated in thorough experiments 
by the Conn. Agr. Exp. Station and by others. 
SEED IS THE KEY to crops. It takes mighty good seed, true 
to name and of RIGHT VARIETY to produce results that count. 
We are well aware of the fact and are doing our best to supply 
the right kind of seed, seed that will produce paying crops. Users 
of our seeds are getting the benefit of our forty years of experience 
as seedmen.

dale Kale or Jamaica Kale. Plants dwarf and compact, foliage fine 
curled, deep green. Select stock. Pkt. 5e; oz. 10c; lb. 80c; 10 lbs.

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. 
KALE EVERGREEN GEM (50 days) 
Of all Kalea, 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; % lb. 25c; lb. 80c; 10 lbs. $5.00, pre¬ 
paid. 
BLUE SIBERIAN KALE (65 days) 
Special market garden strain of vigorous growth and exception¬ 
ally attractive bluish-green color. Beautifully curled and crumpled 
at the edges. Withstands severe winter conditions. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 
lb. 80c; 10 lbs. $4.50, prepaid. 
DWARF GERMAN—Of compact habit, moss curled, bright green 
kale. Hardy but will not stand temperature below zero. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 10c; lb. 80c; 10 lbs. $4.50, prepaid. 
How to Make Dill Pickles 
Freshly gathered perfectly formed and sound, carefully washed 
cukes are placed In Jars or barrels In layers with layers 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. 
AN IMMENSE CROP of pickling cucumbers will you 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 your eukes 
to pigs. Vines picked clean will keep on bearing. Should the price 
he 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.
