Golden Tom Thumb Popcorn
An exceedingly fine novelty. The stalks grow only eighteen inches high, and each stalk produces two or three perfect little ears, only 2 to 2 ¼ inches long, completely filled with bright, golden-yellow grains, which, when popped, expand to a large size. On one stalk we measured three ears, starting from within six inches of the ground. The stalks do not stool, and each stalk averages five leaves, which are of an extra dark green color. In a word it is a perfect miniature corn, most distinct from its handsome dwarf growth. So ornamental and compact is the growth, that we are quite sure it will be a feature of many a garden. It grows very quickly and the ears are ready to gather by August 1st. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts., 25c.
