Best Popping Corn You 
Ever Ate 
Nothing like a bow] of good popcorn on 
those long fall and winter evenings. Pop- 
corn has been a specialty with us for 
many years. We try all the new varieties 
as soon as they come out and we’ve intro- 
duced some of the finest of the newer 
hybrids, so you can see we do know good 
popcorn. We, therefore, sell only the best. 
This fall we are very fortunate in hav- 
ing two extra-fine varieties. Both are hy- 
brids and simply cannot be beat for flavor 
or quality. Every bit of the corn is guar- 
anteed to pop. 
190—Yellow Hybrid South American. 
Pops big, creamy yellow flakes. 5 Ibs. for 
$1.00. 
191—Hybrid White Hulless. The snrall, 
white kind. 4 Ibs. for $1.00. 
(We pay postage on these to Zone 4. 
Beyond add 20c.) 
P.S. With each order we will enclose 
a leaflet of popcorn recipes.

Why Fall Planting Is Better 
for STRAWBERRIES 
Fall Planting gives strawberries a run- 
ning start for next spring. Just mulch 
them well after the ground freezes. Don’t 
use dirt. Use straw or some litter that 
will not pack. No leaves. You folks from 
middle Missouri south can plant on into 
the winter, depending how far south you 
are. North of Missouri, strawberries can 
be planted in October. Be sure to mulch 
well right after the first freeze. 
Prize Banana Melon 
“Dear Friends: Here is a picture of one 
of my prize Banana Melons grown from 
your seed. This melon measured 221 
inches long and weighed 12% lbs. I also 
had a Field’s Giant Muskmelon that 
weighed 11% Ibs. Everyone who saw my 
garden marveled at the size of my fine 
melons.’’—Mrs. Walter Anderson, 2805 
Cedar Drive, La Marque, Texas.

(Green leaves mean 
nothing. The new growth comes from the crown.) The 
important thing is that they are in just the right con- 
dition to get rooted and some growth on before winter. 
This certainly is a great step forward from the-small 
fall-dug plants (never ready before last of Oct.) always
