“Your Seneca Chief sweet corn is the most delicious sweet 
corn I have ever grown or eaten. Besides being sweet, it has a 
real corn flavor. It is superior to Golden Cross Bantam.”

POP CORN 
Packet will plant 75 hills 
4 lbs. will plant 1 acre 
Plant after danger of hard frost, 1 inch deep, 8 inches 
apart in 30 to 36 inch rows. When planting in hills, 
gee 4 to 5 seeds 30 inches apart and thin to 3 main 
stalks. 
Pop corn must have the right moisture content for 
proper popping. This can only be determined by test. 
If too dry, moisten slightly and keep in normal outdoor 
atmosphere. If too moist, bring indoors to living room 
atmosphere. A few days may be necessary for the re- 
quired adjustment. 
It has been our experience that the large, yellow 
varieties such as South American are too late for most 
sections of the Northeast. 
623 HYBRID HULLESS (Minhybrid 250): Devel- 
oped by the Minnesota State Experiment Station. 
Comparative tests show a 16% increase in yield over

volume. Stalk 4% to 5 ft. Ears 4 inches long, 
chunky, well filled with small white kernels. Early 
and of excellent quality. As this is a hybrid, seed 
cannot be successfully saved from the crop. Pkt.
