THOMAS JEFFERSON GREW LANDRETHS’ SEEDS AT MONTICELLO 
FIELD CORN—Continued 
Bristol Early Yellow or White Capped Yellow 
Dent—100 Days. Grains are light or lemon yellow 
color with a white dented cap or top. Height of 
stalk 7 to ft. Ears averaging 10 to 11 inches. 
Rows generally 10 to 14 on a white cob. 
★CORNELL 29-3 HYBRID—86 Days. This is 
one of the best early dent hybrids for use in territory 
with a short growing season. In our tests at Bristol, 
this hybrid yielded nearly twice as much shelled 
corn as the Early Flint variety and was about a 
week earlier than Flint. It also has a large amount 
of fodder for a short season corn. The grains are 
reddish to yellow in color and are fairly long and 
broad. The height of stalk is medium. The ears 
are about 8 inches long and medium width. Rows 
are 8 to 12 on a red cob. 
Golden Beauty or Sweepstakes—120 Days. 
Grains are golden yellow in color with a rather 
shallow dented cap or tip. Height of stalk about 9 
to 10 ft. Ears averaging 8 to 9 inches. Rows 
generally 10 to 14 on a red cob. 
★GOLDEN DENT HYBRID—100 Days. We 
have made extensive tests of all the important 
hybrids grown this year. We have singled out this 
one as the most outstanding. It has yielded nearly 
double the quantity of shelled corn as compared 
with good stocks of regular or open-pollinated Golden 
Dent. Further, the stalks stand up better under 
storm conditions. General character of stalks, 
ears and grains are similar to regular Golden Dent, 
but the grains are generally longer with a smaller 
cob. Can be grown wherever Golden Dent is popular. 
Bristol Early Yellow 
Golden Dent—110 Days. Grains are a glossy 
golden yellow color with a distinctly dented cap or 
top. Height of stalk 8^ to 9 ft. Ears averaging 8 
to 9 inches. Rows generally 14 to 18 on a red cob. 
Lancaster County Sure Crop—110 Days. Grains 
are orange yellow color on the sides and the shallow 
dent on the cap or top being yellow. Height of 
stalk 8 to 9 ft. Ears averaging 11 to 12 inches. 
Rows generally 12 to 14 on a red cob. 
★LANCASTER SURE CROP HYBRID—110 
Days. This hybrid yields nearly 3 bushels more of 
shelled grain per acre than certified seed of open- 
pollinated or regular Lancaster Sure Crop. Plant 
it where this variety is used as other characters are 
about the same. 
★ LATE GOLDEN DENT HYBRID—120 Days. 
Another outstanding hybrid. For use only where the 
season is long or for silage rather than grain pur¬ 
poses. Characters of stalk, ear and grain about 
same as Golden Dent. 
Learning—105 Days. Top of kernel bright, un¬ 
glazed, yellow; body of kernel dark yellow and 
glazed. Height of stalk 8? to 9 ft. Ears averaging 
7 to 8 inches. Rows 14 to 18 on a red cob. 
★NEW JERSEY No. 4 HYBRID—105 Days. 
Another outstanding Golden Dent hybrid for use on 
good soil. General characters about same as open- 
pollinated stocks, but double the yield of shelled 
grain can be obtained with this hybrid. 
Penna. Long Yellow Flint or 8-Rowed Yellow—- 
90 Days. Kernels flinty, hard and glazed, the 
grains are amber in color. Height 7 to 8 ft. Ears 
average 11 to 12 inches, usually 8 rows. Cob white. 
Snowflake or Boone County White—120 Days. 
White glazed with dull white dented to gourd crown. 
Height of stalk 9 to 10 ft. Long, thick ears, averag¬ 
ing 9 to 10 inches. Rows mostly 14 to 18 on a white 
cob.
