Jap Hulless for Cold Winter Nights 

The frozen food industry uses Robson Certified Golden Cross seed 
because it produces ears that are more uniform in size, and the 
kernels are sweeter.

POP CORN 
Plant after danger of hard frost, | inch deep, 8 inches 
apart in 30 to 36 inch rows. When planting in hills, 
drop 4 to 5 seeds 30 inches apart and thin to 3 main 
stalks. 
Pop corn must have the right moisture content for 
proper popping. This can only be determined by test. 
If too dry, moisten slightly and keep in normal outdoor 
atmosphere. If too moist, bring indoors to living room 
atmosphere. A few days may be necessary for the re- 
quired adjustment. 
HYBRID JAP HULLESS (Minhybrid 250): A new 
hybrid pop corn developed by the Minnesota State 
Experiment Station. Their records show a 16% 
larger yield and 29% greater popping volume than 
open pollinated Japanese Hulless. The stalks grow 
41% to 5 feet tall and bear twotothree chunky 4 inch 
ears. The deep white pointed kernels are arranged 
in irregular rows ona small cob. Hybrid Jap Hulless is 
earlier than the old variety and, we think, it is of 
better quality. As this is a hybrid, seed should not 
be saved for planting the following year. Pkt. 15 
cts.; 1% lb. 40 cts.; Ib. 70 cts.; 2 lbs. $1.25; 6 lbs. 
$3.00. 
JAPANESE HULLESS: Stalks about 5 feet tall; ear 
thick and about 4 inches long; kernel small, pointed 
and white. Pkt. 10 cts.; % lb. 25 cts.; lb. 40 cts.; 
2 Ibs. 65 cts.; 6 Ibs. $1.10. 
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. 
10 cts.; % lb. 20 cts.; Ib. 35 cts.; 2 lbs. 60 cts.; 
6 Ibs. $1.00.
