Hybrid Hulless Popcorn is well adapted to most sections of New 
York and New England; it will fully ripen. 

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, 
drop 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.

volume. Stalk 4% to 5 ft. Ears 4 inches long,

“This is the third year we have ordered your seeds. Everyone 
who has eaten any of the Seneca Chief corn is amazed at the differ- 
ence between Seneca Chief and other corn they have bought. 
My uncle is trying it commercially this year. We found your name
