producing immense yields of short thick ears about 4 inches long

pointed, rice-like grains which pop into large, fluffy balls. 
Pop-Corn is slower in germi- 
nating than other kinds of 
Corn and does not grow so 
vigorously. As it is hardy, it 
should be planted earlier than 
other Corns. It is very impor- 
tant that Pop-Corn be thor- 
oughly dried before using.
