California Golden Popcorn
This beautiful miniature variety of pop corn is a native of Lower California, and is certainly a curious and beautiful variety. The stalks grow from 3 ½ to 4 feet high, bearing numerous, very small ears from 2 to 3 inches in length, perfect in form and shape. Its deep pointed grains are of a fine, rich golden color, and its popping qualities are splendid. When dried, shelled and popped, each grain forms a round, white ball, looking like miniature balls of snow. It is also valuable and highly esteemed for mantel ornaments and Christmas decorations, as the small, delicate, beautiful ears, with their shining golden grains, among everlastings, dried grasses, or other holiday decorations, form a remarkable, pleasing and attractive appearance. It is extremely hardy and very productive, nearly every stalk bearing from 3 to 6 perfect eras. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c.
