atmosphere. 
*HYBRID 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 Hulless. The stalks grow 4% to 5 
feet tall and bear two to three chunky 4 inch ears. 
The deep white pointed kernels are arranged in irreg- 
ular rows on a small cob. Hybrid 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. 10 cts.; 
¥% |b. 40 cts.; 1 lb. 70 cts.; 2 lbs. $1.35; 6 lbs. 
$3.00; 12 lbs. $5.50. 
Many boys and girls make extra money growing 
pop corn. There is always a ready demand in every 
community for Hybrid Hulless.

as an early spring potherb. The Chinese called it 
“Earth Nail’ and “Golden Hair’. In the middle 
ages it was also bleached and used for salads. The 
domesticated dandelion is much larger, more upright 
and thicker leaved than its ancestor, the wild variety. 
Seed should be sown in spring or early summer and 
the leaves will be ready to eat the following spring.

of our cultivated dandelion. The plants are vigor- 
ous, upright, and produce good hearts. Pkt. 10 cts.;

DO NOT SAVE HYBRID CORN FOR SEED 
It is always a temptation to save hybrid corn for seed. The ears are so uniform and many times the 
kernels look better than the seed you planted. - Hybrid corn is a controlled cross between two or more 
inbreds.

If you save seed from the crop and plant it the result will be a tendency to revert to the inbreds 
which are often of different seasons of maturity and unlike in growth. You will not get a crop like the
