KILGORE’S IMPROVED FLORIDA FLINT (White Cob, 
Semi-Flint). (92 days.) The small white cob is covered with 
long, deep, white, semi-flint grains. It is a heavy yielder and 
the husk grows well down over the end of the ear, which fur- 
nishes protection against weevils, worms and birds. This va- 
riety is very highly recommended as one of the best, medium- 
sized ear, white corns for general farm planting in Florida.

WHATLEY’S RED COB PROLIFIC. (98 days.) An early,

cob corn. Especially well suited to Florida. Long husk covers 
the tip of ears fairly well, making it quite resistant to worm and 
wet weather damage and bird attacks. Ears are large and heavy, 
small cob, deep white grain, which is rather hard and keeps 
well. Provides quality and quantity for roasting ears and for 
feed. One of the best, high yielding varieties for Florida.

husk or shuck. The large, deep grains are copper colored on 
the outside but are white inside. Valuable for early feed and 
for roasting ears. A very heavy yielder for an early corn.

INFORMATION ABOUT HYBRID SEED CORN 
Hybrid corn is reproduced anew each year by plant breeders 
or specialists who recross, by hand, the inbred parent lines. 
Farmer’s crop hybrid corn should never be planted as seed. It 
can not be too strongly emphasized that saving seed from a 
crop of hybrid corn will always produce disappointing results. 
Hybrid seed corn necessarily is expensive, because of the 
time, labor and expense involved in producing it, but remem- 
ber the seed cost per acre of corn is always small, because a 
bushel of seed will plant on an average about eight acres. Plant- 
ing hybrid seed corn is the cheapest method known of increas- 
ing your corn yield by an average of 40%. 
LOUISIANA YELLOW HYBRID FLINT No. 2909. (New) 
(95 days.) This new hybrid flint corn is a double cross of four 
inbred lines, developed by the U. S. D. A. cooperating with 
the Louisiana Experiment Station. This hybrid has given the 
highest yields of any flint corn in tests in Florida. The variety 
is very prolific, with most stalks producing two uniform ears, 
and many producing three or more ears. The ears are rather 
long and slender with a long, tight husk, giving excellent pro- 
tection against weevils and wet weather. Stalks are strong 
and heavy, standing up well under adverse weather conditions. 
The medium depth kernels are a deep yellow color, and are of 
true, hard, flint character. This is the highest yielding, most 
uniform, true flint corn we have ever seen. Give it a trial plant- 
ing this season and you will plant more next season. 
Seed supply very limited.

FLORIDA W-1 HYBRID. (New) (95 days.) This is a first 
generation cross hybrid of four inbred lines of corn developed 
by the Florida Experiment Station. This new variety is 
exceedingly prolific, with two ears on nearly every stalk, 
up to 20 per cent three-eared in tests at Gainesville. It 
was the highest yielding corn in variety tests at Gaines- 
ville, yielding an average of 43 per cent over the average 
yield of all ordinary varieties grown on farms in the north- 
ern half of Florida. This hybrid variety is especially recom- 
mended for north and central Florida, but not for Everglades 
muck. Ears have exceptionally long, tight husks making the 
variety very resistant to insect damage, smooth dent kernel 
type, highly resistant to weevils. Plant grows tall, with a slen- 
der stalk, and with a very strong root system. Seed is white, 
deep, with a very small cob; 50 per cent red cobs, 50 per cent 
white cobs.
