SWEET CORN 



make up the ears of the dark starchy 

 breeder in the above breeding block. 'Bear 

 in mind that black covers all colorless sorts 

 and starchy obscures all sugary blood, and 

 therefore there is no assurance that any 

 particular grain has as its pollen parent a 

 white sugary, a white starchy, a black 

 sugary or a black starchy type. Further- 

 more, the yellow of either a sugary or a 

 starchy parent may be hid by the black 

 of the mother parent. To work further 

 with such a mixture has scarcely more than 

 theoretical value, especially for the dom- 

 inant qualities, for they will long show 

 recessive; that is, the obscured peculiarities 

 which the fortuitous combination of the 

 parents permit.
