Hulless in yield *and. popping expansion. 
* Records show 16% greater yield per acre. 
Its most amazing feature is apparent when 
the corn is popped, for it expands to a sur- 
prising volume (measuring 29% more than 
ordinary Australian Hulless). 
The best green feed for chickens 
and rabbits. In this variety you will 
find a feed that yields as much or 
more than other green feeds. It is 
economical to grow, for when cut it 
resumes its growth rapidly and can 
be cut again and again; or the leaves 
can be pulled off each stem like the 
Jersey Kale. The yield is extremely 
heavy. Chicken or Rabbit Lettuce is 
too coarse for a table variety. Grows 
3 to 4 feet high and just loaded with 
large leaves. Large enough to com- 
mence feeding in 40 to 45 days.
