planted than any other Sweet Corn, for home

long), and the cob is small, densely covered 
to the very tip with irregular rows of very 
long, tender, white kernels of delicious flavor 
when cooked. Stalks average 7 feet in height 
and frequently yield three ears each. 
POP CORN 
CULTURE —The seed should be sown in 
rows 3 feet apart, about the time beans can 
be planted. Cover the seed 2 to 3 inches deep 
with fine soil, and thin the plants to stand 10 
to 12 inches apart in the row. The ears should 
be allowed to dry out very thoroughly, as 
otherwise the seeds will not pop properly. One 
ounce will S3w 40 feet of row; 4 pounds per 
acre in hills. 
WHITE RICE —Bears 3 or 4 small, but at¬ 
tractive ears on a stalk. The pearly white 
grains are pointed, resembling rice kernels in 
shape. 
QUEEN’S GOLDEN —The stalks grow 6 feet 
tall, with large ears produced in abundance. 
It pops nerfectly white. 
SOUTH AMERICAN —Giant or Dynamite, 
is an attractive new golden variety which pops 
large beautiful white kernels. 
CUCUMBER 
CULTURE —Requires warm, rich soil. Plant 
seed about one-inch deep in hills 4 feet apart, 
dropping 10 to 15 seeds in a hill. When plants 
are up, thin to 3 or 4 to hill. Give them fre¬ 
quent but shallow cultivation, until the run¬ 
ners prevent. Pick the fruit when large enough 
for use, as vines will cease setting fruit when 
seeds begin to mature. Two pounds will plant 
an acre.

BOSTON PICKLING 
EARLY CLUS¬ 
TER — Matures 
black-spined fruits, 
5 V2 inches long and 
2^/^ inches thick. Is 
very early and pro¬ 
lific, bearing fruits 
in clusters. Fruit is 
bright green, edible 
in 52 days. A fine 
pickier. 
EARLY SHORT 
GREEN or EARLY 
FRAME, 55 Days—

spined fruits, 7 
inches long and 2 
inches thick in 55 
days. Recommended

E A R LY F O R- 
TUNE —Grows 8 to 
9 inches long and 
2 V 2 inches thick in 
65 days. A fine va¬ 
riety of White Spine 
type. The fruit is 
of uniform size and 
shape and is of very 
firm texture, thus 
permitting long-dis¬ 
tance shipping. The 
skin, which is dark 
green, holds its col¬ 
or remarkably well 
and therefore re¬ 
mains in slicing con¬ 
dition longer than 
some of the older 
standard sorts. 
or GREEN PRO- 
LIFIC—The standard pickling variety. The 
vines yield heavily, and if fruits are picked 
as soon as large enough, they will continue to 
bear through long season. The fruits reach 
a length of 5 to 6 inches and are excellent for 
slicing, but they are more popular as a pick¬ 
ling variety.

2 % inches thick. The fruits of this very de¬ 
sirable sort are of medium length, tapering at

very prolific variety and one of the best for 
those who want crisp, coarsely spined pickles. 
NATIONAL PICKLING—Largely bred for 
the pickling factories using small sizes. Makes 
deep green firm crisp pickles. 
IMPROVED LONG GREEN —Perhaps the 
best known and desirable sort for all purposes.

lowed to develop to the slicing state, is most 
attractive. The fruits grow from 10 to 12 
inches in length. 
ROYAL WHITE SPINE—One of the earli¬ 
est and very productive. Fruit quite uniform;
