the Iowa Station; is somewhat similar to Gol- 
den Bantam Hybrid with heavier foliage, 8- 
inch ears, well filled with medium, narrow, 
light yeilow kernels. It is highly resistant to 
drought and bacterial wilt; superior canning 
and market variety. - 
STOWELL’S EVERGREEN HYBRID — 
Grows a sturdy stalk 8 feet high with ears 
8 inches long. 
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 sow 40 feet of row; 4 pounds 
per acre in hills. 
WHITE RICE—Bears 38 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 abun- 
dance. It pops perfectly 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 1 inch deep in hills 4 feet apart, 
dropping 8 to 10 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.

will continue to 
bear through long

reach a length of 5 
to 6 inches and are 
excellent for = slic- 
ing, but they are 
more popular as a 
pickling variety.
