GEADES FOR COMMERCIAL CORX. 11 



colors, as nearly as it is possible to reproduce them. Kernels num- 

 bered 1 to 9, inclusive, under types of color, have been classified as 

 white corn. It will be noted that some of the kernels at the right in 

 this first series are of a very light straw color, but not sufficient to 

 justify their being classed as of other colors when found in a grade 

 of white corn. Kernels with a tinge of pink over white (not shown 

 ii_ the plate) should be considered on the same basis as straw-colored 

 kernels; that is, where the pink color is only very slight they may be 

 classed as white; otherwise they should be eliminated. In kernel 

 No. 10, however, the yellow color is more pronounced, and such ker- 

 nels should not be classed as either white or yellow corn. The same 

 is true with all kernels numbered 10 to 18, inclusive. Kernels num- 

 bered 10 to 14, inclusive, are intended to represent white-capped 

 pale yellow, kernel No. 19 represents a pale yellow of the lowest 

 type, and kernel No. 27 represents a "red-cast" yellow of the most 

 pronounced type which should be classed as yellow corn.
