CORN (Continued) 
ST. CHARLES WHITE. The St. 
Charles White is a pure variety of 
white corn set on a red cob, and 
this corn appears to make a finer 
and better grade for milling pur¬ 
poses and for corn meal than al¬ 
most any other sort. The ears are 
usually 8 to 10 inches long, 16 to 
18 rows of deep, broad kernels 
being rounding. The stalks grow 
7 to 8 feet high and have broad, 
succulent blades, thus making it 
very desirable for fodder or for en¬ 
silage purposes. 
IMPROVED HICKORY KING. 
Largest grains of any white vari¬ 
ety. Matures early and very pro¬ 
ductive. Ears set low, are of large 
size, well filled, very deep grained. 
Produces well, even on light land. 
RED VARIETIES

A better drought resister than any

ally appearing with yellow tip.

dwarf variety which resists 
drought extremely well. Early. 
Has small ears and kernels are

fashioned red, white and yellow,

yellow types, the kernels showing
