Strawberry Cort 
Amusing! Colorful! Different! 
This was one of the hits of the New York Flower Show and we pre- 
dict it will become a very popular subject for fall decorations. It 
is really a ‘‘ Pop Corn’’ and a very good one too, but its main 
charm lies in the beauty of the tiny ears which are only 2 inches 
long and 1-1/2 inches wide and are a rich and shiny mahogany 
color, not unlike a gigantic strawberry. These are enclosed in 
straw-colored husks which may be bent back showing the ear. 
Wonderfully effective for winter bouquets. Make money for your 
club or farm fair by raising this novelty to sell.
