smaller kernels. Under "color red" is the "'Voorhecs," a variety 

 originated at this Station from a cross of the "Black Mexican" 

 on the "Eg}'ptian." Under "color black" is the "Black Mex- 

 ican" (99), referred to above, an excellent eight-rowed, medium 

 season variety, much liked by those who do not object to its 

 dark color. We have two yellow corns, the "Golden Bantam" 

 (34, 35) and the "Golden Dawn" (36). Their color and taste 

 suggest them to be the result of a cross of a small sv;eet w-ith a 

 yellow field corn. "Golden Bantam" is very small both in stalk 

 and ear, and medium early in season, while "Golden Dawn" is 

 somewhat larger and later. The "Striped Evergreen" (27) is 

 a peculiar sort, in that the grains are lono-itudinally striped with 

 narrow bands of bright carmine. Rarely a pure red kernel 

 appeared, and there were a few solid red ears. The striping 

 varied in amount, and frequently failed to appear, leaving the 

 ear pure w'hite. 



The last of the three grand divisions, comprising the flint 

 "sweet corns," is separated into two divisions, according to color, 

 the first of w^hich is further divided upon the number of rows. 

 The first sub-division of eight-rowed flint corns contains "Buck 

 Mountain" (8), "Landreth's Early Market" (53) and "Lan- 

 dreth's Earliest Table" (87). "Buck Mountain" is medium 

 early in season, and produces ears of good length. "Landreth's 

 Early Market" is about the same in season, but the ears are much 

 smaller. "Landreth's Earliest Table" resembles "Buck Moun- 

 tain" in appearance, but is smaller, and one of the earliest corns 

 grown. The "Adams" (2), or "Early Adams," and "Adams' 

 Extra Early" (3) are the best known of the flint corns. The 

 former is large and rather late, with a tendency to produce dent 

 kernels. "Adams' Extra Early" is a small early corn, with large 

 short ears, and "Bryant" (7), a small eight-rowed early yellow 

 flint. 



The Malakhov Sweet Corn. 



Professor X. E. Hansen, Horticulturist of the South Dakota 

 Experiment Station, while in Russia, procured, among other 

 plants and seeds, a sweet corn that bears the name of "Mala- 

 khov." It has been grown by the introducer for some years 

 past, and this spring a package of it was obtained Uirough the 

 courtesy of the U. "S. Department of Agriculture, and bearing 

 the number of "9573— (white)." It is 95 of our list. Packets 

 containing fifty seeds each were sent out to two or more repre-
