wide adaptability. Stalks very tall and 
stiff, wind resistant, producing two long 
yellow ears of medium diameter. Kernels 
closely packed, medium depth, with high 
shelling percentage. Is becoming increas-

hybrid. Owing to short season maturity, is 
somewhat smaller foddered and eared than 
most hybrids. Thus far, it has been our 
best seller in West Virginia and other sec-

paratively short.

early hybrid. Stalks medium in height,

remains green after husks have ripened on 
the ear. Is widely used in West Vir-

the Valley and eastern Virginia. Is also 
appropriate for either late planting in full 
season areas, or where very early harvest- 
ing is desired.
