luediuiM-cjirlv c.ini; j)l;uitod at same time as 'Stowell's Ever- 

 t^n'fii.' was ready tivo days earlier; height, six feet; flavor good 

 and very tender." The dozen and more of sample ears brought 

 to the Kxperiniint Station were all pure white and showed but 

 little of the zig/.ag tendency. 



"Mexican-Banana" (90/G). Black grains. Mr. George M. Hoff- 

 man reports upon his test of this cross: "Ears are small; did not 

 have very g«M)(l succeos with this cross." From the few ears sent 

 in, it is evident tliat the usual amount of white "blood" was con- 

 cealed in the dark seed, and that the straight rows of the "Mexi- 

 can" prevailed over the zigzag of the "Banana," 



"Mexican-Gold Coin Evergreen" (99/26). Black grains. Mr. 

 W. '1'. WooracT writes of his test with this cross: "Planted May 

 ITlli, ripe September l^th; quite prolific; one and two ears to 

 tl.e stalk." 



••Mrxinui-First in Market" (99/31). Dark gi-ains. Eev. Wil- 

 liam F, Bond reports that: "The success with this corn was all 

 that we could expect; it was a very special favorite on our table; 

 we were well pleased with the experiment and the results." 



••Mrxiran-First m Marhet" (99/31). A\^iite grains. Mr. M. 

 S. ( 'ranc writes : "Some of the ears kept show a spattering of dark 

 blue kernels, also a few white and yellow ones." The three ears 

 sent in are all of good size, twelve to fourteen rowed, and with all 

 the grains Avhite. There was likelv a kernel planted bearing black 

 "Mood." 



"Mexican-Hiawatha" (99/41). "Wliite gi-ains. Mr. Frank 

 Bingham reports upon his test of this cross as follows : "Vigorous 

 but black corn does not sell well here." The four ears sent in are 

 solid white, with one exception. The chief fault with them is a 

 tendency toward flintiness, seen particularly in one ear. 



"Mcxican-KendeVs Giant" (99/44). White grains. P. B. 

 Randolph & Son report: "Planted April 30th, in fairly good 

 soil; reached cxindition for table by August 1st; ears twelve- 

 rowed, seven to nine inches in length; quality excellent, very 

 sweet ; the stalks grew two different heights— five and seven feet." 

 From the ears submitted it is seen that there was a little black 

 "bh.od" present. The matter of two sizes of stalks will require 

 fnrther investigation. 



•'MoxicanrMauh's XX." (09/55). Black grains. Mr. J. E. 

 Kuhns reports as follows: "Planted May 15th; first edible ears
