-This type of corn is quite common in northern localities, and has 
many sub-varieties distinguished by greater length, slenderness or 
thickness of ear, or by color. The true type is as described below. 
Ears six to eight inches long; ear stalk smallish; ear cylindrical, 
scarcely rounded at butt, bluntly at tip, which is often well filled, 
elght-rowed, rows straight; kernels rounded at summit and sides ; 
eolor golden yellow or yellow orange; cob small, white. There is 
a tendency to taper slightly in lower third of ear. Ears about two 
feet from the ground, the plant six to seven feet tall and twelve or 
_ thirteen leaved. 
*Our crop true to this type, and that of what I call New England 
Eight-rowed, is described below. The two sorts in nearly equal 
proportion, but the named variety rather predominating.

Ears eight to nine inches long; ear stalk medium to largish; ear 
cylindrical in most of its length, but swollen at butt through added 
rows, tapering a little at lower third to the often pointed tip, some- 
times well filled. Its type commonly grown, but the seed usually 
mixed with Karly Canada, through non-recognition of its distinet- 
ness. Color orange yellow; cob white, small.
