An Early-Maturing Crop for the North, Sweet Corn (Zea mays L., S. P. I. 



No. 43118). 



A cross between the Early Malcolm (staminate parent) and the Squaw corn (pistillate parent). The 

 Early Malcolm (a straight selection from the MalakofE, S. P. I. No. 13, an early introduction from 

 Russia) is the only variety that matures regularly in Ottawa. The cross is a very sweet variety.
