64: INDIAN COKN. 



5. Tuscarora. This is an eight-rowed variety, 

 with the kernel large, soft, and remarkably white. 

 Though not a sweet corn, it is frequently used on the 

 table in the green state. It is destitute of gluten and 

 oil, and the meal when bolted resembles in appear- 

 ance the flour of wheat. 



6. Long Island White. The ears of this variety 

 are of good size, and usually contain from eight to ten 

 rows. It is capable of a prolific yield, and produces 

 a meal of sweet and pleasant flavor. 



7. White Gourd-Seed. In this corn the ears are 

 shorter and much larger in circumference than those 

 of the flint varieties, containing from sixteen to thirty- 

 six rows of long, narrow kernels. It is a very prolific 

 variety, extensively planted at the South, and is the 

 source from whence many other sorts have been de- 

 rived. Like other Southern kinds, it contains more 

 starch, and less gluten and oil, than the flint corns of 

 the North, and is therefore less suitable for shipping, 

 and less profitable for feeding to fattening animals. 



8. Baden. This variety is an improvement of the 

 White Gourd-seed, and takes its name from its founder. 

 It is very productive, with a small cob, and grows to 

 a remarkable size, yielding from four to six ears on a 

 single stalk, and has been known to produce as many 

 as ten.

1. StowePs Evergreen. A late but prolific variety, 

 with small cob, and long, deep kernels, which are 

 much shrivelled when ripe. It is hardy, but tender,
