MATURITY—This semident hybrid is 
recommended for the 80 day areas of 
North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, 
Wisconsin, Michigan, etc. It is 
adapted to the areas where flint vari- 
eties or semidents such as Falconer 
have been more commonly used. 
TO REPLACE FALCONER AND FLINTS. 
This new Kingscrost KF hybrid represents 15 years of 
research to develop a superior hybrid corn to replace 
Falconer and the flint varieties. A cross between flint 
and dent parents, KF combines just the better features 
of each. Its rapid spring growth at low temperature, 
adaptation to short seasons and leafiness are from the 
flint parent. Non-suckering, tall plants, high ears, and 
stalk strength to insure fall standability, are contributed 
by the dent parent. An ideal corn for mechanical pick- 
ing plus increased yield makes Kingscrost KF the great- 
est Kingscrost achievement in several years.

MATURITY—Kingscrost KE2, the ear- 
liest of all yellow dent Kingscrost 
hybrids has been found most satis- 
factory in the 80 to 85 day areas of 
the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, 
Michigan, etc. It compares favorably 
in maturity with varieties such as 
Falconer and Thorp strain Minne- 
sota No. 13. It also has proven highly satisfactory 
farther south where extreme earliness was required for 
a special use. 
LARGE PLANTS, HIGH EARS, and a stalk that stands up, 
have contributed a great deal to the popularity of this 
remarkable Kingscrost hybrid. Thousands of acres of 
high-yielding, sound, ripe corn were mechanically picked 
in fields of Kingscrost KE2 this past season. Developed 
in the north for northernmost corn farmers, KE2 has dem- 
onstrated a natural ability to survive the cold springs 
and ripen before the earliest frosts so frequently encoun- 
tered in these 80 to 85 day areas.
