CHAP, deep, narrow wedge-shaped, thick, round dimple-dented, smooth 

 or medium smooth, deep yellow with lighter cap. 



Introduced by the writer in 1905 from Peter Henderson, 

 New York, U.S.A., and now widely distributed. Valued for 

 its early maturity, drought resistance, and heavy yield. Gave 

 the heaviest yield at Potchefstroom in 1910-1 1, and the second 

 highest average for six years. Is proving suited to the Up- 

 lands of Natal, which have hitherto been considered outside 

 the Maize-belt, or only suited to flint breeds. 



The small size of the grain is considered objectionable 

 by some local buyers, but the grain is appreciated for stock- 

 food on the European markets. 



251. Yellow Hogan. — Fig. 1 1 31;. Class : late yellow dent ; 

 rows, 12 or 14; length, 9 inches; circumference at 2 inches 

 from butt, j\ inches, from tip, 6 inches ; grain, medium wedge-

Introduced by the writer in 1 904 from P. L. C. Shepheard 

 and Son, Sydney, N.S.W. At Potchefstroom Yellow Hogan 

 beat Eureka for yield in 1905-6 and 1906-7, and came a close 

 second in 1910-1 1 ; it stands third in the average for seven 

 years.

 rows, 12; length, 12 inches; circumference at 2 inches from 

 butt, 6\ inches, from tip, 5i inches ; grain, deep, broad wedge- 

 shaped rounded corners, crease-dented, smooth to medium 

 smooth, rich orange-yellow. 



Introduced by the writer, in 1904, from Burpee, Phila- 

 delphia, U.S.A., but did not prove satisfactory in the Trans- 

 vaal, and was subsequently discarded. Separately introduced 

 into Natal where it has proved more satisfactory, and is 

 grown in the Richmond District. A handsome ear, producing 

 a fine, well-coloured grain. 



According to Sawer, Golden Beauty takes 140 days to 

 mature in Natal, proves a vigorous grower, is very drought 

 and wind resistant and does not sucker; "a good general 

 purpose breed, but rather slow for the High-veld ".

 yellow dent; rows, 14; length, 9 to 10 inches; circumference
