While these varieties showed mixture in every case, from this year’s 
hybridization undoubtedly, yet it is worthy of note that no dent ker- 
nels were found, although carefully looked for, except upon one type of 
sweet; on the pod corn, sweet and dent were frequently to be found on - 
the same ear, but these ears were of the same type as in the exception 
noted above. 
The summary of the sweets show a yield of seven hundred and fifty- 
six good ears and one hundred and seventy-seven poor ears from seven 
hundred and thirty-six plants, or 1.03 good, and .23 poor ears to a 
plant. 
Soft or Tuscarora Type Corn. 
Of this class of corn we had growing the true Tuscarora, and various 
colored kernels selected from the mixed ears of the Mandan corn. It 
is worthy of note that although all the seed of the Mandan was taken 
from the same ears, yet the white kernels and the blue kernels failed 
to vegetate.

Of the eleven plants examined, we note the bloom from one to four 
days behind the silk in four cases, and the same time with the silk in 
one case, and from two to five days in advance of the silk in six cases, 
the average being 1.1 days. 
The hybridization noticed is given below : 
1. Forty-two ears, soft type, very much mixed in color, as yellow, 
white, slate, blue, pink, red, purplish and black in shades, many of 
which were flint.
