NORTHRUP, KING & CO'S DEPENDABLE STERLING SEED CORN 
Varieties of Sterling Seed Corn 
(Open Pollinated/ continued) 
75 to 85 Day Group, continued 
FALCONER YELLOW SEMI-DENT 
85 Day 
This variety was originated by Angus Falconer, near Bismarck, 
North Dakota, from a cross between a Yellow Dent and a Yellow Flint. 
Ears are quite tapering with 8 to 14 rows but mostly 12. Some ears are 
quite flinty and some nearly a full dent with other types ranging between. 
Stalk height is about the same as N. W. Dent with about the same sucker- 
ing. It is an extremely hardy corn, producing a better yield under un¬ 
favorable conditions than any other variety. Adapted to the same areas 
as N. W. Dent, being about 2 weeks earlier than Minn. No. 13. 
GEHU YELLOW FLINT 
80 Day 
A dwarf early 10 to 16 row variety considered to be from a cross 
between the native North Dakota 8 Row White Flint and Mercer Flint. 
It matures slightly earlier than the Crookston Strain, N. W. Dent, suckers 
generally; ears are borne quite low, but good size. Gehu is adapted to 
N. W. Minnesota and northern North Dakota, and Montana and Canada. 
It does much better than dents in cool seasons in this area. 
PEARL WHITE FLINT 
80 Day 
This is a white 8 to 14 row Flint considered to have been handed down 
by the Indian tribes living in the vicinity of Red Lake, Minnesota. It 
matures about the same time as Gehu, grows slightly taller, but still 
classes as a dwarf Flint. Ears are quite large which a little higher on the 
stalk than Gehu. 
NORTH DAKOTA WHITE FLINT 
75 Day 
Very similar to Pearl Flint except not quite so large in plant and ear, 
with a little earlier maturity. There are also a higher percentage of 8 and 
10 row ears than in Pearl.
