MATURE NORMAL AND CRINKLY MAIZE PLANTS 



The type of maize called "Crinkly" is a semi-dwarf, usually about two-thirds the height of 

 normal plants. It is so called because of the crinkled character of the leaves, an abnormality 

 which is inherited. Seeds not infrequently develop in the tassels of crinkly, and the tassels are 

 relatively short and compact. (Fig. 24.)
