Crossing of Sweet Com in 1905. 



Upon a strip of the new ground fifty-nine varieties of sweet corn 

 were grown, under the following conditions : Lengthwise of the strip, 

 thirty-three feet wide, row No. 3 was planted with "Black" popcorn; 

 row No. 6 with "Adams," and row No. 9 with "Golden Bantam." 



From the hundred and more numbers of the varieties of sweet 

 corn only those were selected that are recorded as "white" — that is, 

 all those that are colored and those of a flint or dent nature, whole 

 or in part, were excluded, which resulted in the list being limited to 

 the following :
