POP CORN 
JAPANESE HULLESS: If you are growing pop corn 
for your own use or sell it to discriminating neigh¬ 
bors, Japanese Hulless is the variety you should use. 
The popped kernels are large for the size of the corn, 
there are no hard centers, the kernel is very sweet 
and tender. Stalks about five feet tall, ear thick and 
about four inches long, kernel small pointed and 
white. Pkt. 5 cts.; lb. 15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 10 
lbs. $1.80 prepaid; 100 lbs. $13.30. Not prepaid. 
WHITE RICE: The old standard white commercial 
variety. The yield is much larger than Japanese 
Hulless as the ear is almost twice as large but the 
quality is poor when compared to that variety. Pkt. 
5 cts,; lb. 15 cts.; lb. 25 cts.; 10 lbs. $1.80 pre¬ 
paid; 100 lbs. $13.30. Not prepaid.

produce crooked fruits. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 12 cts.;

NATIONAL PICKLING: 56 days. This black spine 
variety might be called an improved Snow’s Pickling

tional Pickle Packers Association by the Michigan 
Agricultural College it has proven to be one of the 
best for small pickles. Mature cucumbers are 5X 
to 6 inches long by 2X inches thick. Pickles are 
dark green, square ended and very symmetrical in

seems to be rather more resistant to disease. It 
grows taller than Golden Self Blanching but does not 
blanch quite as readily. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 60 cts.; 
X lb. $1.60; lb. $5.70.

of blight and rust. The plants are semi - dwarf, 
stocky and vigorous growing with very full heart 
which blanches quickly to a rich golden yellow color.

of. The stalks are large and the heart well developed.

The candid camera comes into the seed business. We now save 
time and money by using the camera in our trial grounds to take 
notes. This shows just how our Early Fortune cucumbers looked. 
Japanese Hulless Pop Corn planted this spring will make next winter s evenings enjoyable for the whole family.
