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.

for roasting ears. A very heavy yielder for an early corn.

INFORMATION ABOUT HYBRID SEED CORN 
Hybrid corn is the result of crossing certain inbred, or self- 
pollinated, lines of corn in various combinations. Maximum 
benefits are derived from the first planting ef hybrid seed. 
Later generations are less vigorous and uniform. Hybrid corn 
seed should be obtained each year from producers who are 
specialists in hybrid seed corn production. Farmer’s crop hy- 
brid corn should never be planted. Seed saved from a field 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. 
(95 days.) This 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.

FLORIDA W-1 HYBRID. (95 days.) 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 Gainesville, yielding an average of 43 
per cent over the average yield of all ordinary varieties grown 
on farms in the northern half of Florida. This hybrid variety 
is especially recommended 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 slender 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.
