NORMAL AND ‘“‘TASSEL SEED” TYPES OF MAIZE 
A‘second type of pistillate flowered maize, called ‘‘tassel ear,’ is shown on the right, with 
a normal plant on the left. Tassel-ear plants are much smaller and weaker than tassel- 
seed plants. They have about as many leaves as normal plants of the same families but 
their internodes are shorter. (Fig. 11.)
