Improved Evergreen Broom Corn
This is the most popular variety of Broom Corn to grow for the market, the bush being firm and of good length and retaining the light-green coloring when properly cured. Sow thinly in drills four feet apart when the trees are in leaf, thinning out to stand one foot apart in the row. The upper portion of the stalk should be bent over when the straw is well developed, to keep it close and straight. Pkt 5 cts.; lb 25 cts.
