filled well up to the tips. The kernels are 
medium yellow in color with excellent flavor 
and quality. The plant grows about 7 feet 
tall with rich, dark green color and a medium 
heavy stalk. The kernel is quite similar to 
Golden Cross Bantam. 
POP CORN 
CULTURE—tThe seed should be sown in 
rows 38 feet apart, about the time beans can 
be planted. Cover the seed 2 to 8 inches deep 
with fine soil, and thin the plants to stand 10 
to 12 inches apart in the row. The ears should 
be allowed to dry out very thoroughly, as 
otherwise the seeds will not pop properly. 
One ounce will sow 40 feet of row; 4 pounds 
per acre in hills. 
WHITE RICE—Bears 8 or 4 small, but at- 
tractive ears on a stalk. The pearly white

dance. It pops perfectly white.

seed about 1 inch deep in hills 4 feet apart, 
dropping 8 to 10 seeds in a hill. When plants 
are up, thin to 3 or 4 to hill. Give them fre- 
quent but shallow cultivation, until the run- 
ners prevent. Pick the fruit when large 
enough for use, as vines will cease setting 
fruit when seeds begin to mature. Two pounds 
will plant an acre.

to 6 inches and are 
excellent for = slic- 
ing, but they are 
more popular as a
