The very important character of earliness is given the attention it merits at our seed breeding 

 stations and trial gardens. The number of days required for each variety of com to produce ears fit 

 for table is indicated below. This information is the result of many years observation of these varieties 

 at our Oakview Experimental Gardens near Detroit, where com is planted early in May. Under very 

 favorable circumstances Alpha, which is the standard of earliness, produces table ears in 71 days. 

 We put on trial all promising novelties and, regardless of claims made, we have found nothing earlier 

 than Alpha. Rather than use the minimum days required we have used the average of many seasons 

 for each variety. We have described the ears at table stage.
