62 INDIAN COKN. 



6. Southern Small Yellow, with grains similar in 

 form to the preceding variety, but deeper in color. It 

 matures earlier, is more oily, and less productive than 

 the former. 



1. Dutton. This variety was introduced by Sal- 

 mon Dutton, of Cavendish, Vermont. The stalk is 

 of medium height, and the cob comparatively large, 

 with ten to twelve rows of grain. The grains grow 

 very compactly on the cob, and the ears being well 

 filled out at the tips, and of a rich glossy color, pre- 

 sent a very fine appearance. It is quite prolific, early 

 maturing, and abounds in oil. It is capable of pro- 

 ducing one hundred and twenty bushels to the 

 acre. 



8. JBrowne. This is an eight-rowed sub-variety, 

 improved from the King Philip by Mr. John Browne, 

 of Long Island, in Lake Winnipiseogee. It has a 

 small cob, with large grains, matures early, is very 

 prolific, and being rich in oil is valuable for feeding. 

 It admits of close planting, and has produced as high 

 as one hundred and thirty-six bushels per acre. 



9. Rhode Island Premium. A hybrid variety 

 of comparatively recent introduction, but quite pop- 

 ular in some parts of New England. It was produced 

 by crossing the Canada, the Eight-rowed Yellow, and 

 Red variety of Rhode Island. With close planting, it 

 gives a very fair yield. 



10. Yellow Gourd-Seed. This is a cross of the 

 Southern Big Yellow with the "White Gourd-seed. 

 It is a very prolific, many-rowed sort, with a small 

 cob, comprising numerous sub-varieties, much in use
