eight weeks. Cover with hay or straw to protect

POP CORN 
Black Beauty—We believe this is not only the 
earliest maturing variety in cultivation but it is ready 
for popping earlier than any other sort. It pops very 
large and exceptionally white. The kernels are black 
but this color is not noticeable after popping, when 
this sort is the largest and most tender of all. The ears 
are about six inches long, twelve rowed. The kernels 
are smooth, shallow, and are nearly square. Pkt. 10c 
White Rice—A very handsome and prolific white 
variety. The ears are five to seven inches long. The 
kernels are long, pointed and somewhat resemble 
rice. This excellent rather late maturing variety 
yields heavily and is considered the best pop corn for 
parching. Pkt. 10c. F
