This is a valuable addition to the Flint varieties of Field Corn. It is the earliest variety in existence and especially adapted 

 to Northern conditions (cool nights and short summers) and under favorable conditions the yield is immense. The ears are 

 \ eight-rowed, remarkably long, frequently measuring 15 inches and over, of a rich amber color, thickly set with large 



' ~ -~- _ b'-nad kernels. The stalks are of medium height. In ordinary seasons it will mature in ninety days, and can 

 be shelled and ground for feed earlier than any other large-yielding variety. It is especially valuable 

 in sections where Corn cannot be planted before the middle of June. With good cultivation 

 Extra Early Yellow Flint will yield 90 bushels of shelled Corn per acre. Considering that 

 it is an eight-rowed early sort this is an excellent yield. Specially recommended for 

 planting in northern New York, („onnecLicut and Massachusetts. {See en-

The dried grain being exposed to a high temperature explodes or 

 "pops" into a fluffy, snow-white, palatable mass. There are two 

 distinct types of Pop Com, Rice and Pearl, although the Amber is 

 also a well-defined variety of the Pearl. The White Rice is usually 

 grown for commercial purposes, about 4 lbs. being required to plant 

 an acre. All varieties are hardy, from Canada south.
