POP CORN 
4 Ibs. 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 con- 
tent for proper popping. ‘This can only be 
determined by test. If too dry, moisten 
slightly and keep in normal outdoor atmos- 
phere. If too moist, bring indoors to living 
room atmosphere. A few days may be neces- 
sary for the required adjustment. 
It has been our experience that the large 
yellow varieties such as South American are 
too late for most sections of the Northeast.

til your crop is ready. Lb. 35¢; 2 Ibs. 
65¢; 5 lbs. $1.40 prepaid.

No. I flat kernels. Many of our growers have

them for years. We can furnish seed of this
