Kilgore’s field corn seed is grown in isolated fields from the highest yielding pedi- 
greed strains. The most perfect ears are selected, carefully dried and run over a 
long conveyor table, where expert corn pickers throw out every ear that is unsound, 
diseased or off-type. Only large ears with deep grain, straight rows and good tip 
and butt are saved. Each ear is hand tipped and butted, shelled and carefully graded 
to remove cracked, oversized and undersized grains. 
Treat corn seed with Pyrox and keep the birds away. Pyrox also aids germination 
and helps secure a better stand. (See page 55.) 
The number of days indicated after each variety name represents the time from 
seed planting to harvest under average spring conditions in Florida.

SPECIAL CUBAN YELLOW FLINT. (96 days.) Our special strain of this vari- 
ety was developed from a cross of the regular old type Cuban or Havana Flint and 
Red Dent, and our seed stock has been selected each year from only the largest and 
best ears produced on strongest and most vigorous growing plants. This special strain 
is deep rooted, therefore can be given closer spacing than other varieties. If given 
close spacing it will yield as much as any prolific corn. From 20 to 25% of the 
plants will produce two ears. Produces larger ears, longer grains, and heavier yields 
than other strains of this variety. More weevil resistant than any other variety, due 
to the long, tight, heavy and very tough husks. Seed is lemon to orange yellow in 
color, with about 95% white cobs, 5% red cobs. Produces well in extremely wet or 
dry seasons, and is recommended in all parts of Florida where extreme resistance to 
weevil damage is desired. Aside from weevil resistance, it is especially recommended 
for southern Florida, especially on muck lands.

FLORIDENT WHITE. (95 days.) This variety was bred and developed by the 
Florida Agricultural Experiment Station by selection from their pedigreed Florida 
686, which was developed from a cross of Whatley Prolific and Cuban Yellow Flint. 
The variety contains about 78% high yield Whatley blood. Florident White is con- 
sidered to be one of the best prolific field corns for Florida. Our stock seed is se- 
lected each year from the most prolific plants. Plants have a very strong root sys- 
tem and stalk, and are very resistant to lodging. The large ears are covered with 
hard, white, semi-flint kernels mostly on a red cob, protected by a long, tight, tough 
husk, 20% two-eared, 80% one-eared. Very resistant to weevils, with more flinty 
kernels and better husk covering than other common white kerneled varieties.

FLORIDENT YELLOW. (95 days.) A sister to Florident white, having been se- 
lected, bred and developed for strong yellow kernels by the Florida Agricultural 
Experiment Station from the Experiment Station’s pedigreed corn Florida 686. Stock 
seed is selected each year from the strongest and most productive plants. Plants have 
a very strong root system and stalk. Least lodging of any variety in tests at the Flor- 
ida Experiment Station. A heavy yielder of large ears covered with hard, yellow, 
semi-flint kernels, protected by long, tight, tough husks. Much more weevil resistant 
than most varieties. 85% red cobs, 15% white cobs. The best and by far the heaviest 
yielding yellow field corn for Florida.
