$40.00. Pop Corn 
Culture—Wherever field corn grows, pop corn, will. Can be 
planted like field corn 4 plants to each hill or drilled in rows 3% 
feet apart and 10 inches apart in the rows. Four pounds of seed 
plants an acre. To make money raise pop corn every year, sell 
direct to the stores and establish a steady trade. Even when sold to 
jobbers or to elevator men there is good money in it and like with 
everything else there are years when the price is very low for pop 
corn and again when the prices are high and the profits satisfying. 
SOUTH AMERICAN POP CORN—Same as T.N. T. This yel- 
low corn produces heavy ears, it pops exceptionally large, 
the popped corn has a creamy yellow cast, making it ap- 
pear as though it was buttered. Pkt. 10c; lb. 35c, prepaid. 
Not prepaid: 10 lbs. $1.80. 
JAPANESE HULLESS—This is the tenderest Pop Corn 
known. It pops without a hard kernel. Pkt. 10c; Ib. 
35c, prepaid. Not prepaid: 10 lbs. $1.80. 
SUCKERING SWEET CORN is of no benefit at no time under any 
conditions. It is a harmful practice reducing the crop of ears 
25% or more as has been demonstrated in thorough experiments 
by the Conn. Agr. Exp. Station and by others. 
Kale or Borecole 
CULTURE—Half ounce of seed will sow a row 100 feet; 1 Ib. to

KALE EVERGREEN GEM (50 days) 
Of all Kales, Evergreen Gem is the best and most profitable vari- 
ety. When fully developed (50 days from date of sowing) the plants 
stand 18 to 24 inches high, of very dense growth, very spreading and 
rest directly on the ground. Being so to say anchored to the ground 
are not affected by high winds. The leaves are as heavily curled as 
the best strains of curled parsley, very attractive in appearance of 
distinct, intense, deep green color with a bluish sheen. The leaves 
never turn yellow even efter being exposed to several frosts. Mark- 
edly different from other Kales as it branches out of the bud instead 
of from the stalk, producing many more leaves than the old varieties 
and is unsurpassed in yielding qualities, 500 barrels per acre being 
the average crop. The leaves being very densely curled have high 
earrying qualities for long distance shipping. Try this Kale. We 
assure you that you will find it the finest and by far the most 
profitable variety. For best results plant in rows 30 in. apart, 8 to 
10 in. apart in the rews, thinning out when the plants are 4 to 5 
inches tall. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; lb. $2.20, prepaid. 
BLUE SIBERIAN KALE (65 days) 
Virginia variety. Special market garden strain of vigorous 
growth and exceptionally attractive bluish-green color. Beautifully 
curled and crumpled at the edges. Withstands severe winter condi- 
tions. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; lb. $2.00, prepaid. 
DWARF BLUE CURLED SCOTCH (50 days)—Also known as Blooms- 
dale Kale or Jamaica Kale. Plants dwarf and compact, foliage fine 
eurled, deep green. Select stock. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; lb. $2.20; 10 lbs. 
$20.00, prepaid.

highly profitable and the only variety to use, when grown on a large 
scale for shipping, etc.

Dil matic, used for flavoring pickles, sauces. The 
seed is used by some for flavoring sauerkraut. 
Sow early in April in rows 12 to 15 in. apart and again in 
June to have fresh dill late in summer and fall. Dill can be 
used also in dry state. As a rule is a paying crop. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 15¢; lb. $1.20. 
How to Make Dill Pickles 
Freshly gathered perfectly formed and sound, carefully washed 
cukes are placed in jars or barrels in layers with layers of dill 
either fresh or dried and the jars filled with brine. For quick con- 
sumption make the brine by adding pint of vinegar and 4 ozs. of 
salt to each gallon of water; if you wish the pickles to keep for a 
longer time, use twice as much vinegar and salt. Place a board 
with a weight on the top of the cukes, to keep them submerged. 
In warm weather the pickles will be ready in 8-10 days, in eool 
weather it takes as long as 4 weeks. 
AN IMMENSE CROP of pickling cucumbers will you get by cut- 
ting off the tips of vines and keeping them cut to the length of 4 
ft. At ALL times pick your vines CLHAN. If the market price is 
not below the cost of production, sell, otherwise feed your cukes 
to pigs. Vines picked clean will keep on ‘bearing. Should the price 
be what it should be, you will have cukes to sell. Make 8 to 4 
successive plantings. If your first planting goes haywire, there are 
8 more plantings to fall back upon. As they say, there is more than 
one way to skin the cat. Every way has to be used nowadays 
one does not want to go crazy trying to figure out how to meet the 
An annual plant about 3 feet high, strongly aro- 
taxes.
