 on a white cob. The ears are not so large 

 as some varieties, but Surecropper will 

 make a good yield when other corns will 

 fail entirely. It is a sure crop every time.

 60 days and matures in about 110 days. 

 Shells 82 to 85% grain. For early or late 

 planting, for poor or rich land, for dry or
