Sterling Seed Corn—90 Day Group 
(Continued) 
MERCER YELLOW FLINT 
90 Day 
This is a very old 10 to 16 row New England Flint. Matures about 
the same time as Haney Strain, Minn. No. 13. It is one of the largest 
eared flints. Common with other flints, it suckers profusely. Stalk height 
about the same as Haney. Adapted to northern and central Wisconsin 
and Minnesota, and to North Dakota and Montana. It has made the highest 
average yield of any variety over a long period at the North Dakota 
Experiment Station. 
NORTHERN YELLOW DENT, WISC. NO. 25 
90 Day 
Originated by Prof. E. J. Delewiche at the Spooner and Sturgeon 
Bay, Wisconsin branch, Experiment Stations. It is adapted to Northern 
Wisconsin and similar areas. It is approximately 10 days earlier than 
Minn. No. 13. Ears average 12 rows of grain and kernels are quite reddish 
on the sides, rather shallow and broad. Stalk height is about 1 to i/2 ft. 
shorter than Minn. No. 13.

EXTRA EARLY N. W. DENT, N. K. STRAIN 
85 Day 
This is a recombination of several inbred strains, developed by 
Northrup, King & Co. and introduced in 1928. It matures a few days 
earlier than Standard N. W. Dent but is practically as large. Ears are 
similar to Standard N. W. Dent and is adapted to the same area except it 
can be ripened further North. 
EXTRA EARLY N. W. DENT, CROOKSTON STRAIN 
80 Day 
An early selection made by the Crookston, Minnesota branch, Experi¬ 
ment Station and introduced to the general trade by N. K. & Co. in 1924. 
Maturity is about a week earlier than Standard N. W. Dent, therefore, 
adapted somewhat further North. Ears a slight smaller and more ears 
carry 10 to 12 rows. Stalk height is about 1/2 to 1 ft. shorter than 
Standard.
