big yielding early roasting ear corn, but if left to mature yields 
about as well as most field corns. For six years we made selec¬ 
tions from only strong, vigorous stalks bearing two large ears. 
The ears are 8 to 9 inches long, sound, and have 16 rows of large, 
deep grains on a small white cob. Does well on all soils. The 
Florida Experiment Station reports; “As much Wood’s Southern 
Snowflake is planted in Florida as all other roasting ear corns 
combined. Its long twisted shuck protects the ears from worms. 
It yielded 5,000 pounds of roasting ears per acre in 1935, the 
highest of 31 leading varieties tested; 80 per cent of the stalks 
had two big ears averaging a pound each.’’ 
Matures in 128 days; 8^/4 feet tall. The strain 
a m. ruiiiiv making highest yields in the Alabama Experi¬ 
ment Station tests. We paid the breeder a tremendous price to 
field select our seed from stalks bearing three big sound ears. 
Long, tight shuck; 16 rows of large, deep, flinty grain; small 
white cob; short, stocky stalk; storm-resistant. 
Pnli (or NEAL’S PAYMASTER)—Matures in 
1 ennessee IS.ea coasting ears in 97 days; 91/2 
feet tall. It usually has two 9-inch ears to the stalk, with 14 to 
16 rows of extra deep white grain that is not too hard; 64 pounds 
of ears shell out 56 pounds of grain. 
Indian Chief days)—One of the heaviest yielding and most 
A u a v,^ c prolific yellow corns in the southern coastal sec¬ 
tion. Deep, flinty grain; small white cob; long, tight shuck. 
Matures in 134 days; 10 feet tall. The most 
prolific of all corns; 2 to 6 small sound ears 
on each stalk. Ears 6 to 7 inches long; 14 rows of small, deep, 
flinty white grain on a small white cob. Shuck extends 2 inches 
beyond end of ear. Laige. heavy stalk. Excellent corn for ensil¬ 
age. High yielding corn on heavy soil with abundant moisture, 
but should not be grown on light land. It made the highest yield 
in thirteen Louisiana and two Mississippi State tests, and the 
highest shelling per cent. 
Hasting’s Prolific 
Mexican June Com 
Mf»viran Matures in 120 days; roasting ears in 85 days; 
9 feet tall. A splendid com for late plantangr as

stocky stalk; strong, tight, thick shuck protecting the ears. 
Large ears, 16 close fitting rows of flinty, large, broad grain. 
Smooth dent; medium cob; weevil-resistant; 60% of the stalks 
have two ears. The Alabama Experiment Station says; “Wood’s 
Mexican June cannot be recommended too highly for early roast¬ 
ing ears and late planting in any section of Alabama.” 
Pi-rtlifir Matures in li31 days; 9 feet tall. The highest 
A-ruumiL » 1 ruling yielding com on the sandy soil at the Pee 
Dee and Sandhill Experiment Stations in South Carolina. Small, 
deep white grain closely set on a small red cob. 
Whatley’s Prolific 
Hasting’s Prolific yielded 202% bushels per acre for James Whitaker, 4~H Club boy,

rows of grain. Grain is sound, flinty, narrow and deep; 67 pounds
